Video: Ford unveils 'MoDe' electric bike prototypes





















The Mode: Pro is a sexy future-bike powered by a 9 Amp-hour battery and a 200 Watt motor. It’s attached to the bike in such a way that it’s designed to give you a boost when you pull away from lights or go up hills rather than power the thing full-time.

An iPhone 6 sits on the frame and tracks your heart rate, directions and GPS location via an app. That app will automatically fire up the electric motor if it notices your heart rate going up beyond a pre-set limit, or if it figures you might get a bit sweaty on your ride.
