U.S. carmaker Ford has moved from four wheels to two as it unveiled a connected bicycle with vibrating handlebars to tell you when to turn. The so-called "e-bikes" have a 200-watt
motor and a battery that kicks in to help propel cyclists along to speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. This kicks in when a users' heartrate goes above a certain level – that way
you won't arrive at your destination in a sweaty mess. The MoDe:Me and MoDe:Pro bikes are only at the concept stage with no confirmed date for launch. However, the company plans to
offer them at an "affordable" price. Read More Ford Motor profit beats street, maintains 2015 profit forecast The bikes are designed to work with an app on the iPhone 6 called

situations can make a big difference both for commuters and for those delivering goods, services and healthcare," Ken Washington, vice president of Ford research and advanced
engineering, said in a press release.
