Mustang name now finally thrown up for grabs

The Mustang name has now been definitively thrown up for grabs by Ford…

If you drove a Mustang back in the day, you were a tough guy. One with chest hair. Like Brandon Walsh from Beverly Hills 90210 for example. The half of the Minnesota twins who moved with their family to the most expensive part of the ‘Hills’ had a nice white one from 1965.

That was quite a story. He worked really hard for it, but the car broke down and then his father paid for the repairs. What a series, that it never won an Oscar. Incomprehensible… But okay, I digress. I actually just wanted to say that the name Mustang was synonymous with cool!

Mustang now finally thrown up for grabs

But that hasn’t been the case for a while now. Because Ford came out with the Mustang Mach-E a while ago. A nice thing, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the original Mustang. Because no V8. And not even a V6, but an electric motor.

Smart of Ford, because it is a well-known name, but you are throwing your ‘heritage’ up for grabs that way. But if you thought that was the end of it, you are wrong. It can be much worse. Because Ford is coming with a new Mustang that completely undermines the legendary name of yesteryear…

Because it is A BICYCLE!!!!!

New Mustang has 2 wheels

You read it right, Ford is coming with a new Mustang on 2 wheels. A bicycle indeed. And to be honest, it is a nice bike, but it is not a petrol-guzzling V8 and should not bear the name as far as we are concerned. Should have called it Fietsësta or something, but not a Mustang.

Now about the bike. It can go 28 miles per hour (44.8 kilometers per hour), is red and has a digital dashboard. I don’t want to say more about it on principle, because I have absolutely no interest in cycling. Or actually, in amateur cyclists, also known as scum, vipers or assholes.

So if you want to know more about this Mustang, take a look here and keep the information to yourself. We are Car Whiz. Yes? Not fietsblog. Then I’ll go back to watching Beverly Hills 90210. Curious if Donna and David will ever get back together. Exciting!

   And when you come off the pedals, you bang your nuts on the Mu bar.

   And if only it were something decent…
   Hub motor, probably crappy finish (if they don’t even dare to mention it), even on the renders a geometry that looks like nothing and let me not even start about the saddle of that Bronco. High fatbike content but that seems to be cool these days.

   As a car brand, just buy a few decent bicycles from a well-known manufacturer and put your name on it in the context of “collaboration”, that deserves more respect than yet another “China special”.
