Ford presented two prototype electric bikes at Mobile World Congress which aim to make cycling on city streets safer.
The two electric bikes, called MoDe:Me and MoDe:Pro, have one each electric 200-watt motor and 9 ampere-hour (Ah) battery΄They can develop a speed of up to 25km/h.
However, its electric bikes Ford they also have a sensor on their back that warns the rider if a car fast approaching, to take appropriate action if necessary.
Warning does not require any visual contact but is made through a vibration in the rider's handlebars. But if by chance you also have the corresponding application "running" on your smartphone, then you will receive a corresponding warning from your mobile as well.
In addition, the lights on the two edges of the steering wheel as well as the rear lights flash to warn the driver of the car.
Both bikes can be connected with Ford's original app MoDe:Link, which is only compatible with the iPhone 6. With this app, the users they can identify a desired destination and then get directions via steering wheel vibrations (simply vibrates their steering wheel handle in the direction you should turn) and at the same time flashes the turn signals automatically to let other road users know where they are going you will move.
Because both bikes are collapsible when you enter a desired destination, the results you will get for possible trips could include cycling to the metro station for as part of your route, for example. It even includes the cost of any public transport if you choose to include your route.
The application of course can also guide you on bicycle-friendly roads as well as warn you of other possible dangers. Of course, if you feel a little tired and have difficulty with the pedal, you can always get a little electrical help.
