We put a hitch on our MME for bikes and can tell you that the frame setup for holding the hitch is pretty janky. It will do ok with conventional bikes but I won't be towing anything. Although I see several posters have done some epic trips towing smallish trailers.

If you think Ford dealers have trouble servicing MME's wait until you try to get them to fix one of these bikes. You'll note that e-bike dealers have had to purchase special work stands for these hefty bikes so they won't break their Park stands or the mechanics back. And bike shops are not likely to want to work on an e-bike they didn't sell for a variety of reasons. The early post of this had the dealer cost and retail which if I recall was pretty skinny. That will stop Ford dealers from wanting to screw with these bikes. Maybe Bronco owners would buy one?
Dealers do not provide any services for the e-bikes. N+ handles all of that.

"Made to Order in 90 days"

On the 89th day, you'll get an email saying that it's going to take another 90 days due to production delays, followed by an email 90 days later saying that they shut down production of the current model year.

The good news is that you'll get the new model year. The bad news is that it doesn't have all of the features of the bike that you originally ordered, and the color that you wanted is no longer available.

And due to supply change issues, you're going to have switches on the bike that do absolutely nothing because of a chip shortage.

I installed my hitch and the setup seemed not janky at all - pretty sturdy.

Hope they're paying a lot for the rights to the names because in a world full of ebikes, hands down these two are the ugliest of any of ever seen. :)
Now you've just challenged someone to make a Yugo e-bike ?

I made some popcorn... Waiting for the "it's not a real Mustang" replies.
To be fair, half the people here think that if it has a horse on it and says “Mustang” anywhere on it……. It’s officially a Mustang.

I wonder what generation Mustang this bike fits into…. Gen Z probably?

I'll stick with my 2000W Ebike that goes 35mph.

Similar to mine: Crystalyte 5303 - 40 amp at 52 volts = 35 mph, currently 12,000 miles and a third the cost.
