The Ford Th!nk was a line of electric vehicles produced by Th!nk Mobility, then an enterprise of Ford Motor Company. The short-lived line included four models: the Th!nk Neighbor and the Th!nk City, small electric automobiles, and the Th!nk Bike Traveler and the Th!nk Bike Fun, electric-powered motorized bicycle.

The Th!nk line didn’t take off as planned and was cancelled in 2002. Ford sold its stock, and the resulting company, Think Global, continues to produce electric cars in Norway.

The Neighbor was designed to meet the NHTSA specification for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles. Design and manufacture was unrelated to the Th!nk City. The Neighbor was initially offered in two models, a two-seater and a four-seater, with a two-passenger utility truck version offered near the end of production.

The Th!nk Neighbor has a fixed roof over an open enclosure; a rain cover was optionally available to protect the passengers from the elements.

The normal top speed was governed to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) per NHTSA requirements, and it also had a "turf" mode that set its maximum speed at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h) for golf course use.

The range of the vehicle is 30 miles on one battery charge. Recharge the batteries overnight at any 110-volt outlet, for less than 50 cents.

The Th!nk has a top speed limited to 25 miles per hour by law. Unlike a golf cart, the Th!nk is street legal; yes you can use this as a golf cart, in Turf mode the top speed is 15-mph.

This particular Th!nk is fitted with aftermarket wheels, tires and seats.
