#Ford rolls autonomous and smart tech into new city/road/mountain e-bike Earlier this year, Ford previewed its Mode:

Me folding commuter bike and Mode: Pro delivery bike concepts were born out of an internal e-bike design competition.

When compared to the narrow focuses of the original two bikes, the third prototype in Ford's ongoing research is designed for a broader demographic of bicycle enthusiasts.

splitting the bike for transport (another reason why we wouldn't ride it on anything rougher than a paved path).
Flex looks just like a bike designed by an auto manufacturer in other words, a bike sculpted by automotive folks that haven't actually ridden bicycles since childhood.
The fact that Ford is a car manufacturer dipping its toes into e-bike design isn't all bad, though.
It does use its automotive background to its advantage, equipping the e-bike prototype with some interesting auto-inspired features.
