Earlier this week at the Mobile World Congress, Ford launched Handle on Mobility, a program that incorporates foldable electric bikes into Ford vehicle models. Related: Four of Our Favorite E-Bikes.

I lay on my back with GT's new Grade carbon Ultegra adventure bike on the ground beside me, and just laughed.
