Big companies love creative, and Ford is no exception. It calls the MoDe: We also call it “e-bike.” The result of an internal design competition at Ford, the electric two-wheeler made a strange standout this week, but it’s designed to work in concert with both.

A 200w motor enables the MoDe: Pro to hit speeds of up to 15 miles per hour, and the 9 Ah battery gives it an hour and a half of continuous use, but it’s really designed to run when you need it. If you ride the bike, the motor can be turned off. When you feel tired. It will be turned on. In other words, it recognizes when you’re working hard and provides a little extra help.

You can also use the voice-activated app to check the charge on the bike. The same app enables bike tracking, route-planning, and delivery scheduling. For example, when you need to turn right, the right handlebar vibrates, and there are turn signals on the end of each handlebar. 

Ford is looking for customer feedback right now, which the company will use to further shape the final e-bike. It’s unlikely we’ll be seeing this on the roads before the year is out. There’s no word on pricing or on the possibility of a consumer version, but we’ll be sure to track its progress.
