MWC 2015: MoDe:Pro and MoDe:Me – Ford's smart bikes of the future

Ford is betting on Mode:Me and Mode:Pro rather than driverless vehicles.

The MoDe:Pro and MoDe:Me smart bike studies are part of Ford's mobile project (Ford Mobility Plan), which delves into how to better connect classic transport to work, to school,... whether by car, bicycle or public transport with modern technologies. Ford offers the answer in two folding bikes, MoDe:Pro and MoDe:Me, which can be stored in the trunk, which they themselves have and which, despite their small size, can carry a lot of luggage.

Some time ago we were told that car providers had switched to other treats, that bicycles and skis pasé, but we have to bite our tongues a bit, because there are a lot of us Ford disproved with prototypes of folding smart bikes MoDe:Pro and MoDe:Me, for which he also prepared a special Fashion: Link an application that not only gives the best possible route, but also the best possible form of transport.

Ford's electric and folding bike will be indispensable in cities choked with traffic and will work on the P+R principle.

And so that you don't accidentally sweat your way to your destination, you have this method at your disposal "No Sweat fashion", which prevents this.

Or even worse, with those big "spots" under the armpit.

They can achieve independently up to 25 km/h per hour, and this is made possible by the 200-watt motor and battery 9 Ah (possible charging on the way). When (if at all) we should expect them is a mystery, but see how far Ford's ambitions go in the video.
