#Ford rolls autonomous and smart tech into new city/road/mountain e-bike Earlier this year, Ford previewed its Mode:
Pro electric bike concepts. The bikes were envisioned as key components of a multimodal transportation ecosystem that would also incorporate cars and public transit.
Recently, it added the Mode: Flex e-bike prototype, which uses the latest wireless and connectivity technologies to integrate further into a coordinated transportation system.
The Mode: Me folding commuter bike and Mode: Pro delivery bike concepts were born out of an internal e-bike design competition.
Ford revealed them at Mobile World Congress back in March and has continued its research in the area since then.
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.
Its multipurpose frame can be configured for urban commuting, mountain biking or road cycling, though Ford doesn't explain
or show exactly how the bike magically transforms between these different configurations. The new bike features a more traditional diamond-frame design
when compared to its predecessors, but things stray from the norm at the bloated seat tube, which houses the battery and electric motor drive.
Nothing about that bulky, electric-assist frame yells"fast, trail-hungry mountain bike, "and we're not sure that any bike should convert between road and off-road configurations.

low-cost public parking area outside the dense city center, pulling the Mode: Flex out of the trunk
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.
The Mode: Flex gets a bit of the autonomous tech that is taking over the auto industry. An ultrasonic rear sensor provides a warning

it includes information about public transportation, parking lot costs, traffic and more. It also syncs with the rider's Ford vehicle to provide parking location,
lock/unlock functions, and access to vehicle information including mileage, EV charge status and maintenance manual.
We don't see any information about the bike's specific drivetrain, so we're left to assume that it packs the same 200-watt motor and 9 Ah battery as the Mode:

#Rotterdam may be first city to build roads from plastic bottles Rotterdam could be the first city to build streets with plastic bottles after the city council announced it is considering piloting a new type of road surface.
Construction firm Volkerwessels revealed plans on Friday for a road surface made entirely from recycled plastic.
which is responsible for 1. 6 million tons of global carbon dioxide emissions a year and 2 per cent of all road transport emissions.
The plastic roads could also be laid in weeks rather than months and have a life-span up to three times longer than traditional roads,
it is claimed. The company also suggest that they will require less maintenance and be able to withstand greater extremes of temperature.
The bottle roads will be lighter as well as hollow making it far easier to install cable and utility pipes below the surface.
Sections of the road will be made pre in a factory and then transported on-site, which means a shorter construction time, lower maintenance and less road works.
but the company aims to put down the first fully recycled road within three years. Rotterdam
is the first city to announce an interest in piloting the roads. Rolf Mars, the director of Volkerwesselsroads subdivision, KWS Infra, said in the Guardian:
