It is a good bike with a design from his time and an agility for enthousiastes riders. Very sporty, it could be not made for everyone wanting a casual bike. And for tall guy like me (more than 1m90) the handelbar stem need to rise up and for that we need an extra accessories. The tires are weak without the filler, be sure that you will have it before taking a long ride, if you don't want to come back by walk ;) -

Gutes und solides Bike. Antrieb funktioniert 1a. Gänge vermisse ich null - einfach aufsteigen und mit Unterstützung schnell von A nach B. Einzig die Tatsache, dass zwingend ein Smartphone zum entsperren genutzt werden muss, macht etwas Sorgen wenn die Bude mal pleite geht. Eine eigenständige WatchApp zum entsperren wäre tatsächlich noch nötig. -

For the purpose I am using this bike it is perfect. I am not living in a city, I am living in a small village outside in the countryside where we have nice bike-ways along small rivers but also with slight hills (like 100m up and down). I am usually doing a 30 to 60 km's per trip. The battery is absolutely OK for such trips and also the electrical support is good enough for this type of landscape. I like the usability of the bike on paved roads but also on slightly graveled roads. Also the belt-drive works without any complain and is absolutely free of any noise. As I can not see red colors and their shades very good, I would prefer to have some easy readable signs on the bike side display instead of it on the Mobil phone. But in general I am very satisfied. -

Habe das Fahrrad nun einen Monat, bin bisher sehr zufrieden, keine Probleme. Fahren macht wirklich Spaß. Reifen halten bisher durch, da macht sich wohl die mittlerweile verbaute Verstärkung bemerkbar. Schutzbleche sind installiert, schützen aber am Hinterrad leider nicht komplett. Zukünftig wäre es schön, wenn Schutzbleche und ein Fahrradständer vorinstalliert wären. -

Ihr habt echt ein Klasse bike entwickelt! Es macht mir so Spaß damit zu fahren. Ich hab mich vor größeren Touren immer gesträubt. Jetzt fahre ich jede Strecke, die irgendwie in Reichweite des Akkus liegt, mit dem Fahrrad. Dadurch dass der Motor lautlos arbeitet und die Zuschaltung kaum merklich einsetzt, vergesse ich manchmal dass ich auf einem E-bike sitze. Das keine Schaltung existiert die bedient werden muss verstärkt das Erlebnis und ich kann mich vollkommen auf die Straße und meine Umwelt fokussieren. Noch eine Sache die mir sehr gut gefällt ist der Antriebsriemen der die ölige Kette ersetzt. Die Nachbesserung der Anfälligkeit für Platte reifen durch das Einlegen eines Dichtbands zwischen Mantel und Schlauch scheint Früchte zu tragen. Ich bin Strasse, Waldwege, Schotter damit gefahren und bin ein paar zersplitterten Flaschen ausgewichen. Bisher habe keinen platten Reifen zu verzeichnen. Zugegeben, die fehlende Federung müssen meine Arme und Beine ausgleichen und manchmal staucht es trotzdem noch die Handgelenke aber ich bin jung und kann mich drauf einstellen;) Insgesamt ein tolles Fahrerlebnis! Nicht zu vergleichen mit anderen E-Bikes die ich testen durfte. Das geringe Gewicht und kompakte design gefällt mir auch sehr gut! Jetzt zu den Dingen die ich vermisse bzw Verbesserungswünsche die ich gerne beisteuern würde: Zum Motor: Ab und an trifft man auf einen berg der etwas steiler ist als der Durchschnittliche Hügel. Da hat der Motor Probleme. Die Unterstützung fällt gefühlt komplett weg. Dadurch das die Übersetzung so gros ist schraubt man sich wie im 21 Gang den berg hoch. Sitzen bleiben ist dabei unmöglich. Zur App: Während des Ladevorgangs in der Wohnung fehlt mir die Ladestandsanzeige. Es wird lediglich der letzte Akkustand bei Entfernen des Akkus aus dem Fahrrad angezeigt. Zum kontrollieren muss der Akku eingesetzt und das Fahrrad angemacht werden. Ausserdem wünsche ich mir eine Möglichkeit die gefahrenen Routen grafisch in der App anzeigen zu können. Zum Zubehör: Eine kleine aber wie ich finde sinnvolle Verbesserung wäre zwei Vorbohrungen im schrägen Rahmenrohr zu integrieren. An anderen stellen am Rahmen zb. Für ein Schutzblech gibt es die ja bereits. Gefühlt 90% der Fahrer nutzen ein faltschloss aus der bordo Serie von Abus. Die Halterung könnte dann eleganter dort angebracht werden als mit einem Klettverschluss oder einer Schelle. Zusammenfassend kann ich nur sagen: 'hut ab' für diese tolle Komposition aus Design und Technik! -

Ich liebe die Einfachheit dieses Bikes. Sich drauf setzen und entspannt fahren. Auch Design gefällt mir grundsätzlich. Allerdings gibt es hier ein paar Schwächen. Die Reifen sind echt Pannenanfällig. Auch die neue Version aus Frühjahr 2020. Ich hatte meine erste Platte nach 290km. Richtige, pannensichere Reifen sehen nicht so schick schwarz aus und zerstören etwas Design Erscheinung. Dafür fährt man mit diesen sorgenlos. Zweite Schwäche ist dass der Lack echt sehr dünn aufgetragen wurde und Fahrrad recht schnell "etwas verkratzt" aussieht. Aber sonnst fährt sich der Bike toll und macht echt Spaß... Ich bereue es nicht diesen gekauft zu haben. Support ist auch Spitzenklasse. Preis/Leistung top! Und Aussehen ist trotz neuen Reifen/Lack immer noch ein Blickfang. Vor allen wenn man die voll verkleidete Rennrad-Opas überrascht und machtlos hinter sich lässt. -

My daily commute is 2 times 15 km in wind and weather. Especially the last weeks with wind speeds of more than 30 km/h (of course always headwind:-)) I now master the way with the cowboy much easier than with my mountain bike. It is a lot of fun to ride the bike, it was a very good investment. I have already ridden 600 km within the first month. -

Hallo... Hier meine Geschichte mit dem Cowboy Bike.... Schon vor ca. 1jahr fand ich damals das Bike irgendwo im Netz und war begeistert... Irgendwie genau das was ich mir wünschte.... Schickes Singlespeed mit E-Schub.... Ist dann aber wieder aus meinem Fokus geraten.... Zwischenzeitlich hab ich mich viel mit dem Thema Pedelec beschäftigt... Die verschiedensten Modelle abgechekt und teilweise Probe gefahren... War aber alles nich so meins... Erst im Januar wieder hatte ich das Cowboy auf dem Schirm und dann auch einfach mal eben so bestellt ohne das Teil einmal live in den Finger gehabt zu haben... Ok 2 Woche Lieferzeit waren angesetzt wurden dann aber doch fast 4...Bei dem ganzen Email Verkehr ist mir gar nicht aufgefallen das mir Cowboy die ganze Zeit 2Bike's zustellen wollte... Das kam erst am Tag der Lieferung raus.... Ich war ganz erstaunt als die beiden ukrainischen Fahrer 2Kartons für mich hatten... Ich hab Aber wieder eins zurück gehen lassen (wäre bestimmt nicht aufgefallen wenn ich mir das 2. für lauh unter den Nagel gerissen hätte und vor allem hätte ich dann jetzt vielleicht noch ein Bike was funktioniert 😉aber dazu später mehr).... Dann das Teil ungeboxt und alles eingerichtet klappte auch alles recht easy... War von dem Bike eigentlich von Anfang an Begeistert... Die ersten Probefahrten bei miesem Wetter waren super... Das Bike fuhr einfach nur Traumhaft.... Dann wurde das Wetter so schlecht das ich mehrere Tage gar nicht fahren konnte... Beim nächsten Ausritt bemerkte ich dann das sich die Unterstützung nicht mehr aktivieren lässt... Das war am 4.März...Den Tag drauf Support kontaktiert und auch schnell Antwort bekommen... Controller soll wohl defekt sein... Wird vom Servicepartner ausgetauscht... 2mal wurde ich von denen angemailt aber ohne Aussicht auf einen Termin.... Ich hab dann mal hinterher telefoniert aber in den jetzigen Zeiten wird das ja sowieso nichts.... Naja mal schauen was noch so passiert.... Liebe Grüße... -

It is a pleasure to take the bike for a ride the only thing is you need a full battery of your cellphone when you are leaving
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Jan,
Thanks for your review.
Great to hear you like to ride the bike so much ☺️
There are some options to reduce the battery drainage of the phone. When you want to keep the App open while riding the bike, you can swipe up the dashboard completely so it covers the map. This will reduce the power used by the app. Another option is to unlock the bike and lock the phone afterwards so the screen doesn't use power while riding. You don't need to keep the app open when riding.
Have a lovely day,

Good bike with some weaknesses. The motor control is great, the design is ingenious. Unfortunately there are a few technical flaws. The quality and workmanship could be better. I would have liked to spend 500 Euro more if I had got a better "Tretlager", a quality carbon belt, less sensitive paint (thicker paint), a USB charging slot for the mobile phone.

Overall it is very smart and good bike. It is perfect designed for riding in the city. I have a wish concerning the tyres. Unfortunately these are not puncture proof. Puncture-proof tyres would be better here.
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Gerd,
Thanks for your review and feedback. Fantastic to see you like the bike that much.
We realize that unexpected flat tyres are super frustrating, especially on new bikes. We have witnessed how flat tyres have impacted our customers last year and regret the frustration caused among our community.
So, we were pleased to offer solutions to help our customers enjoy the ride with more confidence and less anxiety, while maintaining the sleek design, ride feeling and comfort of our tyres.
Existing customers have received Flat-Away™ tyre liners. Flat-Away is a felt tape, reinforced with DuPont Kevlar® fibre, to help improve tyre’s puncture resistance. We tested the performance of this product with Cowboy riders on the field and conducted rigorous “nail puncture tests” in a German test laboratory. We learned that an original Panaracer tyre, fitted with a Flat-Away liner, offers 5x more protection than a Panaracer tyre alone.
Then, we decided to equip our new batches of bikes with other tyres that have the same level of resistance and appearance as our former tyres reinforced with liners. We are thus confident that the riding experience of all our customers will be as it is supposed to: fun and enjoyable. Punctures might still occur if you ride on a sharp piece of glass or approach a curb at high speed, as it would with any other e-bike too.

The bike looks awesome and rides perfect. The only negative feature are the awful mudguards... They cost 89EUR but are absolute rubbish. I need to wash my pants and jacket...
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Mark,
Thank you for your feedback and great to see that you love the bike.
About the mudguards, we would like to share some information to help you understand what to expect from your mudguards and and how well they perform compared to other models.
Twelve Cowboy customers tested them extensively and rated their performance as 8.6/10 for keeping the rider dry. Hey, if it’s raining, after all; there is no mudguard on the market that will keep you completely dry.
The section of the front mudguard behind the fork is what protects your feet from water projections. That section is not much shorter than our previous mudguards, and other mudguards available on the market.
In front of the fork, you can notice they are much shorter. If you are riding casually, that will actually not affect you at all and, at high speed, you could ‘catch up’ the water propelled by the bike in front of you.
If you prefer other mudguards, we have assembled a list of accessories we've tested. You can find some compatible mudguards in here.

I'm riding the bike in the city of Munich. It is fast and agile. Especially after stops at traffic lights, you quickly get back up to speed. Two remarks: I exchanged the original tires from Panaracer to Schwalbe Marathon Plus 27,5", because I had a first flat tire very fast. After I quickly drove over a curb, the rear tube in the jacket just burst. An initial fitting with Schwalbe Marathon Plus or similar tires would be an improvement. Especially as you can drive the Marathon Plus with up to 6.5 bar, which optimizes the rolling resistance. Second remark: During an appointment in the city the battery of my smartphone had discharged to zero. Without the Smartphone I could not start the bike and cycled about 7 km home without motor support. It worked, starting with the single speed was of course tougher than usual. To improve the bike, a USB socket would be wonderful, where you could charge an empty Smartphone. Or a start button on the bike, so that you are not dependent on the Smartphone. Conclusion: I would buy the bike again anytime, for my taste it looks great, riding it is great fun. And the customer support reacts quickly and helpfully in case of problems.

There are good and bad things about this bike. First the good : 1. It looks fantastic 2. It drives really smoothly 3. It is sportive still which I like Then the bad : 1. Those tries are way too weak, upgrade them fast. 2. I am used to a hard saddle on my MTB and race bike. This is too hard for a bike like this. Upgrade it ! 3. The Cowboy mudguards, look good but expensive and almost useless except on roads that are moist (not wet) at best. Lastly you can tell the success is weighing on their support. Responsiveness has gone down and resolution takes much longer. Price of success I guess ? Scale your staff like you said. That hopefully fixes it.

Rust can indeed appear on some parts of the bike. To remove it, simply use a wire brush. You can also apply some 'rust converter' if you want to prevent it from coming back too quickly.

Ich habe vor über einem Monat das Fahrrad gekauft. Leider macht es seit Anfang an Probleme mit dem Antrieb. Der Support ist sehr träge. Ein erster Nachbesserungsversuch hat nichts bewirkt. Auf den zweiten Versuch warte ich noch immer ohne Rückmeldung bzw. Terminvereinbarung. Mein Fazit: tolles Design aber wenn das Fahrrad nicht funktioniert nutzt das nichts. Ich hätte erwartet, dass das Problem innerhalb eines Monats hätte gelöst werden können - notfalls in dem man das Fahrrad umtauscht. Immerhin besteht das Problem seit Anfang an! -

The driving pleasure is phenomenal and the components are ok.The rear bike of the first bike had to be replaced because it was really spoiled very badly. It is also a shame that the pedals and bottom bracket rust after only 8 weeks. Unfortunately, a bearing on the freewheel had to be replaced. Small things can destroy the initially very good impression. I would also have paid 200-300 euros more if the complaints and the quick rust could be avoided.

Das Fahrgefühl des Cowboys ist unbeschreiblich. Ich habe einige direkte Konkurenten, vor allem das VM2 getestet, und das Cowboy bietet das mit Abstand beste Fahrgefühl. Die Lieferzeit ist sehr kurz, und die Servicemitarbeiter helfen einem bei allen möglichen Fragen. Alles in allem : ein absolut geiles Bike, was man für einen fairen Preis (Preis -Leistung) erhält. Negativ : Das so gute und hilfreiche Serviceangebot, hat einen Haken : Es funktionniert zwischen 08h00 und 18h00, und NICHT an Wochenenden. Ich verstehe das natürlich, allerdings sind es genau diese Zeiten an denen die meisten Menschen NICHT fahren, da sie sich gerade auf der Arbeit befinden... Eine Art "Bereitschaft" (eventuell sogar für einen monatlich kündbaren Aufpreis?) wäre sehr geil, und es würde mich dann das Bike perfekt machen. -
Nuno
It is a bicycle that has a sober style and personality. no doubt influenced my choice. However, there are some negative points: In two weeks I had a flat rear tire twice. the texture of the tires is too smooth. It forced me to have two repairs of 20 euros each (40 euros) and having to order a new rear tire with a rougher and thicker texture (40 euros + work 20 euros). So the expense in two weeks is already 100 euros. I think it is also a pity that the bike is delivered by the manufacturer without a front and rear mudguard .... they are necessary in rainy weather and should not be an accessory but part of a bicycle included in the purchase price. Once again I find myself obliged to order the two mudguards at a price of 89 euros + assembly ... I certainly spent 100 euros. So and for this reason, a little disappointed by the balance of immediate expenses that already exceeds 200 euros in a "new" bike. best regards Fernandes Miguel

The Bike is awesome, I love riding it. The only thing that doesn't work for me are the mudguards, they fit just fine on the Bike. But when the road is wet they don't help you to keep your clothes Dry. A little more Research on the placement and size would be a good start.

Pros 1. The Cowboy App is very well designed and programmed. 2. The design of the bike is great 3. The weight of the bike is a thumbs up 4. The e drive (engine) is well balanced 5. The retractable battery 6. The bike is a good mix between comfort and athletic. Riding it is just fun 7. The integrated lights Areas of improvement 1. The brakes A. The breaking point is very late B. The grip of the brakes could be better - harder deceleration C. The breaks grind - not used from my mountain bike 2. The mud guards ( design great) but the front mud guard is not very practical. One still gets dirty and muddy. The bike is faster than the spray Conclusion Great bike with some weaknesses. I love the bike. Pitching it all the time to my friends.

It is a fantastic bike: with a little help when climbing a mountain but quite enough to let you do enough work by yourself. Only 1 gear but always enough power. -
Yves
Very good dosing of the required efforts. Well tuned motor algorithm. -
Marco
Cool bike with great and smooth implementation of the electric assistance. Very nice design. Up to now no problems identified. But the complete load of 110 kg is too weak. -
Jan
The bike is really great. Driving in the city is a lot of fun as long there is no rain. I installed the mudguards but this is only of limited use. It was disappointing that I was not able to use Cowboy's insurance since I had more than 1 bikes stoles in the last 5 years (actually 2, but come on I live in Berlin). -

Es ist das beste Fahrrad was ich jemals gehabt habe -

Das Cowboy Bike ist ein sehr elegantes, sportliches eBike! -
Sébastien
So easy to ride! Just to be focus on my driving without having to make manual manipulations of gear changes! -
Oliver
some screws were not tightened well enough. I was close to have an accident because of this and I had a flat tire after 4 rides.
Cowboy Antwort
Hallo Olivier,
Vielen Dank für dein Erfahrungsbericht.
Wir haben in der Tat bemerkt, dass sich die Kurbel bei einigen unserer Kunden gelockert hat. Wir haben bei der Montage unserer neuen Fahrräder die notwendigen Maßnahmen ergriffen, um dies zu verhindern. Wir möchten uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten entschuldigen, die dir entstanden sind.
Wir wissen, dass unerwartete Reifenpannen super frustrierend sind, besonders bei neuen Fahrrädern. Wir haben erlebt, wie sich die Reifenpanne im letzten Jahr auf unsere Kunden ausgewirkt hat, und bedauern die Frustration, die in unsere Community entstanden ist.
Deshalb haben wir gerne Lösungen angeboten, die unseren Kunden helfen, die Fahrt mit mehr Selbstvertrauen und weniger Angst zu genießen und gleichzeitig das geschmeidige Design, das Fahrgefühl und den Komfort unserer Reifen beizubehalten.
Bestehende Kunden haben Flat-Away™-Reifenliner erhalten. Flat-Away ist ein Filzband, das mit DuPont Kevlar®-Fasern verstärkt ist, um die Pannensicherheit des Reifens zu verbessern. Wir haben die Leistung dieses Produkts mit Cowboy-Fahrern auf dem Feld getestet und in einem deutschen Testlabor strenge "Nagelpunktionstests" durchgeführt. Wir erfuhren, dass ein Original-Panaracer-Reifen, der mit einem Flat-Away-Liner ausgestattet ist, 5x mehr Schutz bietet als ein Panaracer-Reifen allein.Dann haben wir beschlossen, unsere neuen Charge von Fahrrädern mit anderen Reifen auszustatten, die das gleiche Maß an Beständigkeit und Aussehen haben wie unsere früheren, mit Liner verstärkten Reifen. Wir sind daher zuversichtlich, dass das Fahrerlebnis für alle unsere Kunden so sein wird, wie es sein soll: mit Spaß und Freude. Pannen können immer noch auftreten, wenn du auf einem scharfen Stück Glas fahren oder sich mit hoher Geschwindigkeit einem Bordstein näherst, wie es auch bei jedem anderen E-Bike der Fall wäre.

This bike is just awesome : beautiful, light, fast (at last I go faster than old ladies on their electric rental bike). I just regret that you have to use your phone to turn the bike on and off (same for the lights) and that the tires are so fragile (after 3 weeks I already had to buy another one, much stronger).
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Cyril,
Thank you for your review.
The reason why we chose to unlock the bike through the phone is because it acts as a digital lock. This is one of the safety features of the bike.
Just so you know, your phone is only required to turn on the electrical support of the bike. That means that if your smartphone turns off during your ride, you will still be able to use your bike normally. The motor will still provide you with the electrical assistance you need. You can also use any smartphone to turn it on, including a friend's phone.We realize that unexpected flat tyres are super frustrating, especially on new bikes. We have witnessed how flat tyres have impacted our customers last year and regret the frustration caused among our community.
So, we were pleased to offer solutions to help our customers enjoy the ride with more confidence and less anxiety, while maintaining the sleek design, ride feeling and comfort of our tyres.
Existing customers have received Flat-Away™ tyre liners. Flat-Away is a felt tape, reinforced with DuPont Kevlar® fibre, to help improve tyre’s puncture resistance. We tested the performance of this product with Cowboy riders on the field and conducted rigorous “nail puncture tests” in a German test laboratory. We learned that an original Panaracer tyre, fitted with a Flat-Away liner, offers 5x more protection than a Panaracer tyre alone.Then, we decided to equip our new batches of bikes with other tyres that have the same level of resistance and appearance as our former tyres reinforced with liners. We are thus confident that the riding experience of all our customers will be as it is supposed to: fun and enjoyable. Punctures might still occur if you ride on a sharp piece of glass or approach a curb at high speed, as it would with any other e-bike too.
Have a lovely day,

Hello Rick,
Thanks for your review.
Some mudguards were indeed delivered with around 1-2 weeks of delay. We want to apologize for not having been able to delivery them sooner.
We can see that they were shipped to you on the 6th of February so I hope you've received them a couple of days later.If you have any further questions for us, don't hesitate to get in touch.

What I miss ...to start the bike without handy ...or with the Apple Watch ...
Cowboy Antwort
Hallo Olaf,
Danke für dein Feedback.
Wir haben uns entschieden, das Fahrrad über das Telefon zu entsperren, weil es dann wie ein digitales Schloss funktioniert. Dies ist eines der Sicherheitsmerkmale des Fahrrads.
Nur für dich zur Information, dein Telefon wird nur zum Einschalten der elektrischen Unterstützung des Fahrrads benötigt. Das bedeutet, dass du dein Fahrrad weiterhin normal benutzen kannst, wenn sich dein Smartphone während der Fahrt ausschaltet. Der Motor wird dir weiterhin die elektrische Unterstützung bieten, die du benötigst. Du kannst auch jedes beliebige Smartphone zum Einschalten verwenden, auch das Telefon eines Freundes.Wir werden in Zukunft eventuell andere Methoden entwickeln, um Cowboy-Bikes zu entsperren. Wenn dies der Fall ist, werden wir dich über unseren Newsletter informieren.
Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag,

The breaking light is blinking up and then, specially when there are pothols or small crubstones while crossing the street.
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your review.
Our brake lights are being triggered by an accelerometer on the bike which explains how they can be triggered more easily when riding on cobblestone.
Our team is aware and working on new updates to make the lights more stable.Have a lovely day,

Joanny
The bike is really great (it literally changed my mode of transportation and therefore my lifestyle), the engine runs very smoothly, the brakes are super efficient, the operation with the smartphone is super well conceived. In short, the best experience/price ratio on the market! On the other hand, the lack of a factory mudguard makes its daily use problematic (I bought one after 2 days), the other weakness: the tires (I got a flat after only 5 days!) and the lack of suspension (driving on Parisian cobblestones is quite painful).

Thomas
Add on components like pedals, hand grips, mudguard, extra light, tires are in so low quality and has to be changed. The compromise selling a 27,5 frame is not working for people bigger then 1,80m. No extra USB loading consumer devices. -
Ramon
Cycling is great. Smooth, easy and real fast. Many compliments about the looks and technology of it. -
Kristof
I had some problems in the beginning with my batteries the first one was broken and the second one was my rear light broken but now everything is ok -
Lars
Das Rad ist sehr leicht und wendig. Hat ein tolles Aussehen und läuft sehr leicht. Eine Gangschaltung habe ich bisher noch nicht vermisst. Die oft genannten Reifenprobleme hatte ich bisher nicht. Bin seit einem Monat Besitzer und mega zufrieden. -
Nicolas
Quality, Pleasure to ride, Not to wide. -
Rene
Super smooth ride. Battery charges quickly. I am a great fan! The saddle is quite sportive. I like it, but you might have to get used to it. Some constructive feedback: - You'll need mudguards though for daily use in the NL. Also think of a bike lock. 2 things I'd like to recommend: the current tires are not convenient for wet conditions (these do not drain the water and make the bike very wet and make it look very dirty). Be careful with mud on the road, because the tires have mimimum grip. Also the bolt connecting the pedal to the crank becomes rusty promptly. -
Andree
Everything I have been able to find out about the bike so far is true. So far, I haven't been able to cover anything negative. The service is excellent -
Thomas
Great design and underlying idea of a smart urban e-bike...... -

Bjorn
Great bike, i use it every day to go to the train station. About 10km. Rides very nice and smooth. A joy not having to worry about shifting gears. Breaks work fine as well. The app is very userfriendly. -
Kurt
It’s a beautiful bike it’s riding good if you ride whit it you don’t have the feeling that you are riding a elektrische bike he has what you need he starts really fast. -
Martin
Bike complies with my requirement. Slight unbalance in weight to the rear wheel giving fidgety steering feeling. The power assisting works seamless and good. The limit in bike parts is an asset. Would prefer to have additional accessoriers to be Cowboy branded to increase Cowboy identity. -
Augustin
Good overall quality for a very fair price. Tires may lack a bit of puncture resistance but are designed for city roads. Design is super nice, allows keeping the sportive position on the bike. Mudguards design is awesome but front one could be more efficient by coming upside the wheel as well. Possibility to switch to "off road" mode is a real point! Support is very reactive and helpful, as well at the saloon! For daily journey to work (9km x 2), this bike is perfectly doing the job! Definitely recommend! -
Artem
Flat tire during the fourth ride; something wrong with the charger, liners are pre-installed in a wrong way, no pre-installed mudguards. -
Torsten
cool design, high functionality -
Max
The design is amazing and everything through the app works great. I'm faster than everyone around me in Brussels since cars are all stuck in traffic and the others are struggling with the hills. The brakes are fast and the ride is effortless also thanks to having no gears. Delivery was in only a few days and customer support has been great with my minor problems. My biggest issue is with the tires, I've had a flat on the first day. Another thing that could be improved is the paint, it's already chipping off the bike from leaning against the bike racks. I also wish Cowboy would sell more accessoires like their own kickstand. In summary, it was a great purchase, and I'm happy to know that Cowboy can always support me may I run into an issue -

Best bike to ride the road as a mum, Parisian lover and active woman !! Safe, stable and fast, my ~petit tonnerre~love it !!!! -
Yves
Tolles Bike ohne jeglichen Schnickschnack! Einzig die Schutzbleche fehlen noch für den perfekten Spaß. Mein Auto wird jetzt definitiv weniger bewegt 👍 -
Kathrin
First things first, the design is beautiful. I get asked about the bike a lot :) I love the power kick at the start, that head start makes me feel much safer at traffic lights. Otherwise, I would describe the feeling just like riding a normal bike, but with superpowers. Quite nice when riding uphill - it’s not a motorcycle, you still have to pedal, but you climb with ease. The bike is more agile than most ebikes, which is useful in dense traffic. Its lightness makes it possible to carry it up stairs and facilitates parking. Even when the battery is empty, you still have a perfectly usable bike as a fall back, another big difference vs other ebikes I’ve owned. The automatic assistance is surprisingly seamless, the shift is so smooth it’s unnoticeable. I’m a huge fan and definitely recommend the Cowboy bike. -
Andreas
top kompaktes Bike, leider nur Ansteuerung über die app (on/off des Motors und der Beleuchtung), keine guten Reifen und die mud guards- mal sehen -

Super nice looks. Smooth ride. Would love to ride faster on it. Desperately waiting for the mudguards. -
Marc-Denis
Perfect design, perfect weight, when I talk about it to my friend, I call it "Tesla's Bike", then of course, I reveal the true Brand, Cowboy. Just, with it's single speed, it's not too fitty for high climby hills (Lyon, France) -
Yoann
I really enjoy my Cowboy -
Udo

Bike is really fun to ride, so in that aspect I would totally recommend it. Did encounter some (major) problems however ever since I started using it (no punctures).

the bike is great. the drive is ingenious but there is no equipment like a luggage rack. I have installed a luggage rack, a different handlebar and a different seat post! also other tires because the others are much too smooth. this means you don't have a safe driving experience -

Received my new Cowboy bike before XMAS, but in an unpacking snafu, my darling housekeeper threw away the key! Fortunately, Marta from customer service volunteered to send me a new accessories pack, but I still had to wait for 10 frustrating days looking at my gorgeous bike and not being able to ride it. Finally, the key arrived, and I was able to use the beautiful and intuitive app to initiate the bike. It was unboxing sex. -
Siegfried
Was mich besonders begeistert ist die intuitive Motorsteuerung, die eine Gangschaltung überflüssig macht. Das Konzept ist ideal für den Stadtverkehr und meinen Arbeitsweg, den ich aufgrund des Riemens auch ohne verölte Kleidung oder schmutzige Finger erreiche. Ich freue mich auf jede Fahrt neu. -

Daniel
The design of the bike is amazing I really like it, the battery life is great and not problems with that, the only thing is it depends a 100% with the smartphone, the other day I was out of battery with my phone and in that case you want to have an extra accessory to used your bike and not depending with your smartphone -

Beautiful black matte design, a next version with proximity sensor? -
Benjamin
I've been using the bike for about a month now and it never failed me. As the weather was getting colder and colder I was sort of scared about the battery dying drastically faster but the effects are negligable. I use the bike everyday to climb a hill and I intend to keep things this way as long as possible! -
Daan
By far the most pleasant electric bike I've driven (and I've tested a few before buying the Cowboy). With the features (belt drive, built-in lights and disk brakes) I was looking for, it's actually even the cheapest bikes around. That first boost you get when kicking the pedal is just a joy to ride the bike. And with the belt drive, no more filthy pants. -
Rene
super bike -
Marten
The cowboy is the ultimate city ebike. Lightweight, simple, elegant, fast and sexy. A typical case of form times function makes an awesome product. -
Tayfun
The bike is great... but the tires are really a bad choice. -

Max
Love the style, the performance and the wow-effect. The cowboy team is super nice and helpful. Thank you for pimping my ride ;) -
Mykyta
Looks and works great, only the tires and mudguards were not optimal. -
Steven
I like - riding the bike, despite the fact it is an e-bike, it feels extremely natural. No hassle with gear shifting, mechanical nor electrical; - the nice look, a hipster bike/frame, invisible welding; - a solid and well balanced build, properly engineered; - center of gravity right under the but, just where it belongs, which greatly improves bike handling. I do not like - the position of the battery lock. Dirt is collected inside the lock due to lack of mudguards, which makes battery removal/placement frustrating and potentially problematic over time. - squeaky rims and rattling brake levers after >200km, not fully convinced of the quality of these components - sloppy belt after >200km, resulting in cogs being skipped when pushing hard on the pedals. I do believe this is a matter of fine-tuning after first usage. Would be nice to have a quick check-up included (e.g. within the first 500km) which could solve this.
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Steven,
Thanks for your good feedback and it's nice to see that you like the ride feeling of the bike.
If you'd need any help or maintenance, you can always get in touch with one of our bike shops. You'll find the map inside our App when you tap the "help" section.
The tension of the belt can be set higher which could solve the skipping when you push hard on the pedals.
An option to get rid of the squeaky noise is by cleaning the brake disc. Mud, dirt or grease are the main reasons why the brakes may squeak.

My Cowboy is not just stylish. The frame is perfectly worked, the parts were intelligent chosen. It is really lots of fun to ride the bike. And although I am 193 cm tall, it fits really well. At the end: 2000 € is not to much for this bike. -

the 4 punctures, but the problem is solved due to new Schwalbe tires. I haven't tried the flat liners yet with the former tires. I am waiting on the mudguards. Apart from that the bike is great and I am riding it every day.

Aart
The Cowboy bike is just awesome. Very fresh in all of its being, a step into the future of cycling. Not only the bike itself, but the very young company behind it too, with it's IT focus, online only and excellent aftersales service. Really refreshing! As for the bike itself: it's amazing. It does all it should do really well. However, as it's sold, it has a limited bandwidth of use. The seating position and the (in)stability of the bike is really aggressive. It's not for everyone and not for every day. I fitted mudguards (SKS ones), a small luggage carrier and swapped the steer for a 10cm wider one with 5cm of rise. That makes the bike a lot more relaxed and usable for commuting as I do. Cowboy might want to start selling a different version, or give some options for customization. When it turns out to be reliable and dependable, I'm really happy with my Cowboy.
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Aart,
Thanks a lot for your feedback and great to hear you love the bike and the service 😃

Super stealthy, sexy and rides like a dream. My favourite thing about this bike, other than the superb customer service through the app, is the... No actually, there isn't a favourite thing... There are too many good things to single out any one thing; the carbon chain, integrated lights, good range, excellent app, easy to charge battery, comfortable saddle... The only thing I could think of to improve the bike would be included full mud guards (hint hint cowboy team). -
Rob
The Cowboy V2019 is an electric bike with two faces. On the one hand it's stylish, has a minimalistic design and runs smoother than any other bike at its pricepoint. Being advertised as a solution for urban mobility on the other hand is more difficult to agree on. The frontlight doesn't give enough focused light to be of much use on roads without sufficient streetlights and the omission of fenders is difficult to accept. How are you going to use a bike without fenders as an urban solution when due to those missing fenders the bike isn't really usable as a get-to-work-machine when the roads are ever so slightly wet? Combine that with a missing stand, no lock and a poor choice of tires (which has been dealt with at the end of 2019 by Cowboy) and the conclusion is two-sided. Yes, it runs smoothly, it achieves it's advertised range at the 25 km/h-setting, but you will need to add fenders, a lock and maybe a better front light to be able to fully use the potential of this bike. If you are willing to spend some €100-150 euro's on it, it will be perfect for its intended use. Still, looking at a grand total of €2100-2150 it's still not that expensive if you compare it to its rivals like VanMoof and Ampler.
Cowboy Antwort
Hello Rob,
Thank you for your feedback.
We indeed developed a solution for our customers in the form of flat away tire liners to reduce the amount significantly.
Then, we decided to equip our newer batches of bikes with other tyres that have the same level of resistance and appearance as our former tyres reinforced with liners. We are thus confident that the riding experience of all our customers will be as it is supposed to: fun and enjoyable. Punctures might still occur if you ride on a sharp piece of glass or approach a curb at high speed, as it would with any other e-bike too.
The front and rear frame light on the bike are specifically made to be seen on the road.
We included extra lights you can direct to the ground as well. If you think the front light doesn't lighten the street up enough, you can always use the extra one.
In terms of accessories you can find all the accessories we've tested here (http://bit.ly/Cowboy-AccessoryList). You can find kickstand and muguards there, but we did develop our own mudguards as well. If you're interested, you can purchase them on our website.

Bike looks great and rides nicely. Only downsides are the lack of mudguards included (which then cost £70, which is ridiculous) - and the tyres which come standard are comically bad. If you’re willing to accept these problems then it’s a great bike. -
Willem
Love the design and the electric assistance. But the tyres are terrible (2 punctures in as many weeks). And the lack of mudguards will make that your back is covered with muck and dirt. But worse is the fact that also the removeable battery is in the line fire (or water). On one occasion in heavy rain the assistance even died on me though this could also had to do with an update of the bike.

The seperatly sold mudflaps should be standard, curently waiting on mine. Also had a flat tire but soon after I got the chance to order a free kit from cowboy to prevent this in the future. They give usefull tips and ofcourse it is just pure joy to ride the bike! -
Arnaud
The cowboy bike is awesome!!! It is a real pleasure to ride it. Fast & Easy! -
Steffen
Eigentlich ein tolles Fahrrad. Ich hatte allerdings direkt zwei Probleme. 1. Der mitgelieferte Akku war direkt defekt. Der Kundenservice hat gut und schnell reagiert. 2. Die Reifen... Ja, wie lassen sich gut fahren. Für einen deutschen Winter absolut ungeeignet. Trotz der von cowboy eingebauten Pannenschutz-Bänder heute einen Platten bekommen. Nur durch normalen Rollsplitt auf der Straße. Schade. -
Christoph
Nice Design and powerfull Not the Standard -
Fritz
The Bike ist working absolutely seemless with ist support. The wheels are not good, i have to repair the pneu after 100 kilometers. It losses its air. -
Peter-Paul
What a great bike, it puts the fun back into cycling! Every commute is a great excuse to use the bike :) -
Jan
It’s a true special experience to ride this cowboy. The support is so gentle but powerful at the same time that it is great joy to ride the cowboy. The bike should have mudguards standard to my opinion. It’s a shame they are already out of stock. The issue i had with the battery was solved fine. The nee battery works smoothly. -

Hallo Cowboy, Meine bisherigen Erfahrungen mit dem Bike sind überwiegend sehr gut. Online- Bestellung, Versand, Lieferung,Verpackung und Aufbau des Rades - alles so wie man es sich wünscht👍. Es ist mein erstes E-Bike und ich bin sehr zufrieden nach meinen ersten Kilometern. Momentan einziger Kritikpunkt sind die Reifen. Nach insgesamt ca. 60 gefahrenen Kilometern hatte ich einen platten Hinterradreifen. Das ist natürlich sehr ärgerlich und sollte so nicht vorkommen! Allerdings ist das Problem wohl bekannt, denn Ihr habt mir ja schon einen kostenlosen Ersatz per E-Mail angeboten👍. Und das sogar bevor ich das Problem hatte😉. Die doch notwendigen Schutzbleche habe ich auch schon bestellt . Wenn dann diese Dinge angebaut bzw. ersetzt sind, hoffe ich auf viele störungsfreie Kilometer mit dem Bike🤗. Thomas -

Really easy and fun to ride, silent and fast. I ride it every day and it’s so convenient. I even have questions from people in the street asking me “what is this bike ? It’s so nice!” . One negative point : the original tires are really not good enough. -
Tanguy
The Cowboy helps me every day to be on time at work ! No more public transport, no more lost time, only a bike in the wind and rain. I'm happy ! :D -
Hans
It is just the essential of driving a bike without the "fancy" tech in a eye catching design. -
Nils
I have mount new tire and a stator at my bike, as well as some fender. Now it is nearly perfekt. -

Günstig und flüsterleises dahingleiten mehr als genug Reichweite und sehr sehr stylisch und minimalistisch. Hervorragend. Das Design übertrifft alle Designs der Konkurrenz. -
René
Every time I go to work using my Cowboy, it makes me happy. And every day I am able to go by bike, I am looking forward to. And all that without heavily sweating, even though I got 22 km to work and a fairly long hill to climb. Thank you, Cowboy! -

Fast, swift, slick... Changed the way I move around in Paris. Metro & trains can strike as much as they like... don't bother me :-) -
Bram
I love the bike, but once the motor stopped working, the service has been awful. For more than 3 weeks I've been waiting and trying to get my bike fixed with no result. Cowboy clearly has to invest in their service(partners). -
Steffen
Es fährt sich einfach super und macht auch sehr viel Spaß -
Stephan
Das Fahren macht Spaß! Es wäre aus meiner Sicht sinnvoll, eigene passende Anbauteile anzubieten! Weiter solltet Ihr darüber nachdenken, dass man das Fahrrad auch ohne Smartphone nutzen kann, Das wäre manchmal schon einfacher! -
Fatih
Cowboy is a perfect and new bike experience. Riding is so much fun but at the same time very convenient. I have the same feeling when I used my first iPhone, intuitive, easy and feels great. -

Gerd
It is perfect for the City: Cool Looking, fast, light weight and good distance with the battery -
Wout
Good, Nice looking bike however ... after 1 month, i've had 2 flat tires and i feel that my bike isnt as smooth as in the beginning. Mudflaps should be integrated from the beginning, the lock from the battery gets filled with dirt. 70 km with 1 battery charge is also an illusion. I use this bike to commute to work, it has to be reliable. Walking 7 km after the late shift is no fun. -

The cowboybike works very well and is easy to use. Equipped with everything you need -

cool Design, perfect driving... -
Mario
The last 25 years I was a convinced car driver. The bike change my completly thinking about mobility and mobility concepts in cities. At first cowboy was just a try for myself and a new toy. Now it changed my live. Im not stressed about traffic and traffic jam. I haven't driven a car in munich since. And by the way - I feel much healthier. Cool bike, great story, fantastic support from cowboy if you have questions or something else. The only what I miss is the possibility to start the bike without the app, because if yor phone accu is empty, you cant start the bike. Maybe a kind of electronic key could be a good solution in future and next bike versions. -
Werner
Das ebike lässt sich super fahren, es ist schlicht, für ein ebike hat es ein leichtes Gewicht. -
Jan
A simple electric bike that does what it needs to do - get you there fast. To me the app interface is an advantage rather then a disadvantage. Design looks sleek too. And it's Belgian. -
Jean-Claude
The cowboy certainly looks great and is by far the most innovative bike on the market. Also the people at the helpdesk are very nice. The problems are: product quality and procedures. My bike’s engine didn’t kick in from the start. A check at the factory could have easily avoided this. I then received a replacement bike. Why couldn’t I simply get a new bike? On the replacement bike, the rear light did not function. It was apparently the battery, and I received a new one quite fast. This too could have easily been checked before. Now I’m looking forward to ride a cowboy where everything's fixed. -
Daniel
For the most part, I love my Cowboy. It's fast, comfortable, sturdy & stylish. A true pleasure to ride. But, the punctures... My Oh My, the punctures. I've had more flat tyres in first 2 months than i ever had over the 2.5 years riding my old road bike. I ride in anxiety, wondering when the next puncture will arrive. -
Mario
Great look, superb boost, low-weight, robust design, smooth riding experience, single-speed, integrated lights, stunning! -

Top Design and Technology -
Maarten
Even though there are some issues with the bike, it's really awesome to ride on a cowboy. -

Ich liebe mein Bike. Es sieht super aus und fährt sich einfach super. Der schmale Lenker ist sicher nicht jedermanns Sache, aber im Stadtverkehr durchaus sinnvoll -

Love the design and smooth ride -
Attila
Excellent manufacturing quality, perfect components (break, seat, tires). The electric motor just helps exactly as much as it is necessary. -
Jenny
When I am on my Cowboy it is as if I am flying, it feels great. The bike moves easily. The only thing missing are the mudgards. I came to work covered in mud a few times. I hope the gards are available soon. -
Stefano
it's extremely cool! -
Nicolas
because it rocks -
Gaetan
It does what is promised, and its clearly explained you buy a basic bike and the changes are personal. So you turn it into your exclusive bike. -
Frederic

Pierre
Easy and comfortable to drive -
Niels
Cycling is fantastic. First thing I did is installing mudguards (full, not the Cowboy design). In the Netherlands this is a must. Battery life is very decent and as advertised. What's really strange though is that I had quite a few power offs while riding. I. haven't figured out what causes this behaviour, but it's annoying. Build quality seems to be very good, and the bike looks great of course. A way to power on/off from the bike itself would be a big improvement, especially for those who don't mount their phone while riding (I use a Garmin Edge I use on my racing bike as well). -
Timothée
Best bike I ever ride! My last one was a foldable bike and it is not the same ride experience so far! Now, I like to ride in Brussels by day or even by night! The power and the battery are there! Thank you! -
Volker
an older Cowboy - it doesn't -
Stefan
exactly the kind of bike I need in the city ... -
Lobsang
I love the speed and design -
Steven
Nice, smooth and cool ride (altough still a bit stiff on bumpy roads). Battery is very much OK. Only cleaning after rain makes clear the battery is on a space where dirt and sand searches their way... Hopefully approval with mudguards... -
Thibault
Easy to use. Nice app. Great riding feeling. -
Rik
Wonderful design, no gears, onfortunately a flat tyre this morning -
Anita
The bike looks great and is very easy to drive even on gradients up to 13%. It's also very easy. I highly recommend it. -
Gerlach
Great bike, looking absolutely smashing in its design. I needed to get used to contacting cowboy-support through the app, but I discovered that its working fine. Great support by a great team. -
Reiner
it looks good, is fast and maks fun -
Tom
Riding the Cowboy bike is just fun. -
Sven
Fährt sich super. Tolles Design. Super Support Service. Kann ich nur empfehlen. -

Great city bike, superbe feeling when riding it. New mudguards should solve a lot of the pain points from my experience. I would still consider adding shock absorbers. -
Fabian
Practical, iconic, easy, connected -
RB
The cowboy certainly looks great and is by far the most innovative bike in the market. Also the people at the helpdesk are very nice. The problems are: product quality and procedures. My bike’s engine didn’t kick in. A check at the factory could have easily avoided this. Also, the app did not register all the trips. I then received a replacement bike. Why couldn’t I simply get a NEW bike? On the replacement bike, the rear light does not function. This too could have easily been checked before. Now I’m waiting for what will happen next. -
Adriaan
Great bike, especially now that I discovered the off road mode where it doesn't restrict your speed. The only downside is that they chose looks over convenience. Very annoying that you have to install your own mud guard. The light is also great to be seen, but you can't see the ground when it is dark. They give an additional light but that's another accessory to charge. I wish they would create a commuter version where they preinstall a good mudguard and a better light. -
jn_nthsk
Super fun, reliable, wherever I go people ask me about the bike, Extremely good looking 😍 -
Sebastian
simple...I just love riding it :) -
David
looks incredibly good and drives the same! -
Robert
The Cowboy bike is exactly the e-bike i was searching for. The bike looks sporty, and runs like this. Good quality and a nice clean design. The engine and the engine control are realy good. The bike drives just super natural. One gear and the automatic engine control are just the perfect solution for me! I realy love the concept behind this bike. -
Christian
I use my bike to commute to work, two times a week, 20 km one way. I very much like the design of the bike and the automatic gear. The fact that you really have to pedal to feel the comfort of a electric bike made me decide to buy this bike. After three weeks and a couple of flat tires, which took me a long time I bought me some more reliable tires (schwalbe marathon plus). I know the tires who come with the cowboy give a nice feeling while riding but to me their are not reliable. I also bought some accessories recommended by cowboy for more comfort but I find out that a lot of them really don't fit. The rear mudguard of the Sks bluemels 45 28' glossy doesn't fit because the metal part that attaches the mudguard to the bike is to short. The front mudguard of the Sks edge all 46 is to wide to fit the fork, I had to saw it of to partially use it. Th rear luggage rack Btwin 100 ain't wide enough to be attached to the bike. So I believe it's a very nice bike to ride but you must be aware ( an handy) of the necessary adjustments that comes with it when you wan't more comfort. -
Mitchel
The Cowboy is a beautiful bike. The pedal assistance is superb, if it works. My cowboy had some software related problems. I have not been able to ride it for nearly a month now. It's being fixed at Cowboy's. Another issue I had was that the steering wheel was too low for me. I can't blame Cowboy for that because I knew you couldn't raise it before I bought it. Nevertheless it was a problem that had to be solved. I raised with BBB stem riser which works great. I gave the bike three stars because of the issues I had with it. All in all it's a fantastic vehicle and I still love it despite the annoyances. Please Cowboy fix it fast so I can enjoy it again. I really like riding it! -
Karina
The cowboy bike is a dream ! I use it for every day, and I am arriving with a big smile in the face after each ride. Only one point: we needed to change the tires because they had been quickly flat - but an issue we knew when ordering the bike from the reviews online. -
Jos
Good Looking and A jou to ride -
Michael
Since I have my Cowboy I go to work everyday by bike. It relaxing and it's fun. -
Toine
Riding the bike is pure awesomeness, it feels like you’ve got the exact power needed. It steers great, you can feel the limits effortless. Only thing to mention are accessoires, these can get a little tricky because of the ‘non-standards of mounting’ options. -
Wim
Fast, no problems with the battery -
Wibke
Fast and lightweight -
Wiebren
Great bike, makes me want to pedal more & faster, so it still feels like an effort but one I enjoy -
Ryan
It is a very responsive bike, it gives you that extra power right away. The only thing suggestion I have is for the app. I would like to track my actual mileage vs battery capacity with my riding style instead of the ‘promo’ mileage. -
Tabe
The bike is almost perfect! I understand the concept of a lean high quality design. However, I think more customers can be reached in case you also advice them in buying the right additional accessories (e.g. kickstand, mudguards, luggage rack and height adjustable stem). Nevertheless, I enjoy using the Cowboy every day to my work! (I even got rid of one of our cars ;-)) -
Jonathan
Great bike, nice design. Bad tires. -
Volodymyr
This bike is fucking good -
Rémy
The bike is fun, a very nice design. He is pleasant to pilot. The handlebar is slightly too short. The pedals slide but can be replaced easily. The brakes are good for unengaged driving. All in all it is a very good bike. To be upgraded according to your desire to ride. -
Sebastiaan
450 km later I haven't used my car for a month. My daily commute (30km) has become a pleasure with this bike. Like every bike getting a flat is a matter of time and when the day came; it took me about 30 min to change the tire. It does take some skill and I'm thinking of getting 'better' puncture proof ones in the future. Fenders are a must, fortunately I installed some immediately. Overall riding the cowboy is a wonderful experience and the company offers excellent customer support. All I wish for is the possibility of ordering spare parts and accessories through the cowboy website and app. -
Willem
to ride through the Noardilike Fryske Wâlden in the north of the Netherlands on the bike gives me every tour a smile on my face even when the winds blow! -
Wouter
It's my first ebike and i love the design and concept. I commute 10 km single and now it's way easier to bike it. It gives me good exercise and lower cost and i just love to bike it; the sensor is giving me the right amount of support. I was skeptic about not having gears, but i really don't miss them and i agree it would have been redundant. I installed the SKS Edge mudgards which fit the design. All in all a friendly price for a great bike! -
Jonas
Weight of the body is too strong front-heavy. This makes it too nervous at higher speeds. There is a lack of accessories for customizing the bike. -
Kevin
The bike rides amazing, nice design. And you can ride with everybody together, when the other rides 18km/u you van ride also 18km/u without gears! -
Roman
Great bike for young people willing to still use there own muscle power. The bike is lite and sporty. There are no gimmicks like mudguards, carriers or displays. The engine is not very strong – so if the bike is used in mountainous regions, you will need much more of your own power compared to "normal" eBikes. Pros: 1. the seamless support of the motor (best ever!) 2. The minimal weight 3. The Design an of course the price 4. the effective range of 70km is realistic when the area is flat Cons: The most disturbing thing are IMHO the tires. They are loud, hard and I had a punctation after just one week by a really small piece of glass. I changed for the "Schwalbe Marathon Supreme" tires. They look very much the same and are realy quit, softer and have a good protection. They are a few grams heavier than the "Panaracer" but I prefer to come home rather than save a few ounces. At the first look, the bike seems to be of very high quality - no welding seams, no rattling...The second look shows some minor imperfections. 1. The Brake-Levers are very simple and (compared to my normal Bike) a little shaky. 2. there are no cable grommet seals for the brake tubes in the frame so water may penetrate the inner frame when it's raining. 3. there is a little (easy removable) paper sticker with the frame-no at the bottom bracket bearing but no punched hallmark but that's what my insurance wants What did I miss? 1. A bike that is controlled and featured with the phone should have an USB-Connector to reload the device. 2. the possibility to order the Bike with other tires and with additional equipment (carrier, mudguards, Lights,...) 3. The app should show the distance since the last recharge 4. Insurance for Germany I would buy the bike again but would not recommend it for older or somehow handicapped people. -

Harald
best investment into tech since the iphone xs max -
Andrej
Great design and all is well matched. I like that the motor is completely silent and doesn’t feel like a motor, just like magic power support. A suggestion for improvement would be to work on the front light. Could be more focused for better illumination of the track. But all in all I am totally happy and riding the bike is really fun. -
David
Smooth -
Marco
It's the best bike, that I was driven for a long time!!!!! -
Michael
Great Bike -
Neil
Very smooth performance, it is the cycling equivalent of an automatic car. -
Tom
Bad quality tires mounted by default. I recommend to mount Schwalbe or Conti e-bike tires (I had 2 flat tires within the first 500km using the advised 4 bar). -
Wim
I like the bike for its ergonomity and the intuinitive support it gives but having said that I have already had 2 flat tires within 3 weeks/1000km Nevertheless I am still content with the lane grip. -
Godehard
So much fun to ride the cowboy bike. In Göttingen we have a lot of hills. Now it s easy to enjoy all these nice places around ( all so in the Forest) and to have a Picknick sitting on the wall from „Plesse burg“ with a wonderful view down to the „ Leine-valley“. Wonderful -
Christophe
It's a great bike, I like every ride with it. The tires are of poor quality, after only 400km they were both punctured. One more disadvantage is that my total driven distance was reset after updating the app. -
Johann
Love the design, minimalism, speed, price and the curious looks you get from people. I have been asked 3 times about my bike from random people on the streets. I see some room for improvement in the head light range and the currently still missing mud guards. But that is complaining on a very high level. -
Pascal
he bike is great in principle. But the tires have to be replaced by better ones! Here cowboy acted late with the rim tape! That was bad for the image! The forums are full of it! There would have to be a way to charge the phone on the bike, because the cell phone battery is quickly empty. or the app consumes a lot of battery. Or it would have to give a speedometer that connects to the bike via Bluetooth, and a kind of Bluetooth key, so that the phone is only needed for company updates. I wish a suspension for front and saddle. A bike stand should be standard! Two holes in the frame for bottle tumbler holders should also be standard. These holes could be covered with black screws. So everyone can think about what he wants to build on his bike. -
Maaike
I love the bike. When I cycle it feels like me and my Cowboy against the world. Though in a few elements I noticed the bike maybe wasn’t created to ride on every day like I do. -
Pascal
I just enjoy the ride, easy drive without gears or greazy chain. Good breakes and steering and I love the design. -
Philippe
Joy of riding! Feels good. I feel I have control and I look great -
Benni
fast, reliable, good looking. -
Werner
This is really the bike you need: easy to use, fast, very nice feeling when driving -
Erik
Riding my Cowboy bike is as natural as riding on my race bike (10.000km/year)and this was the most important criteria for me. I tested 3 other bikes - including speed pedelecs - and the Cowboy is by far the best one! -
Daniel
Es ist ein cooles Fahrrad, was allerdings bessere Bereifung und vielleicht ein paar Anbauteile als Standard haben sollte. Sonst bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Fahrrad. Es lässt sich gut fahren und macht Spaß. -
Pierre
Design -
Xavier
Almost peferct. Perfect to ride, perfect to use, perfect to load. Just a bit difficult to customize with accessories. -
Karl
It's great but they need to work on the app, a tiny bit buggy -
Dietrich
Short review: very good looking bike confortable position for me 1,87 m Rides without any noise Connection via smartfone did not work properly in the beginning (after 40 km the battery support did not work anymore. Got it fixed in 1 week by repair station in Berlin organised by Cowboy. Chat support with cowboy is very good I changed tires to unflattable and I did not trust the original ones for rainy asphalt because they don't have tread. Got mudguards installed I am happy with it so far! -
Dirk
Tyres are not of high quality. (Original)Mudguards only available in december (but it's raining now) -
Peter
The bike is conceptually great! But it could be in some respects much improved. -
Robert
I went with the Cowboy about 400 km. My problems so far. The App has passed twice, the Cowboy just turned off. The tires (Panaracer), are bad, had already 2 plates. I changed you out. Conclusion: The Cowboy is a briiliant bike with exceptional handling and looks just great. Only the above mentioned problems should be solved or a spare tire made available, as these Panaracer are not suitable in the big city turmoil. That some People rebuild the Cowboy with terrible accessoires (stem, suspension seatpost etc.) I find terrible. Then buy a trekking bike. Let the brilliant Design as it is! -
Arjan
Super bike -
Julien
Design and stylish.. -
Fernando
Bike is excellent, what I like most is how easy is and fast is to start moving, makes you very agile in the city. The battery level could be more accurate, sometimes battery drops faster than expected, or real battery level was not displayed with accuracy when started biking. -
Mitchell
Very special bike to ride! -
Mario
This Bike is really great! I love the simpleness and speedup this Bike is almost perfect synchronized. One thing is very poor the panaracer wheels works only for 20km... it’s better to change the Original Equipment -
James
The bike is so beautifully designed to make it as simple as possible. It’s great that it does not have buttons or settings and uses standard components for the brakes etc. The power kicks in seamlessly. The only issue is the maps on the app doesn’t work that well and the tires are not made to withstand tougher terrain. -
Gaetan
So fun to ride a Cowboy. Love the experience and connectivity. -
Ronald
Great bike to ride, fast and special -
Victor
I don't like: no mudguards, 30km/h support shuts off as battery reaches <50%, front light is not bright enough at real darkness, I like:everything else :) -
Maria
Simple and fun -
Paul
The bike is phenomenal and it was an instant crush for me. As soon as you press on the pedals, the bike seems to glide over the road. I love the fact that there are no gears, it really feels like an automatic bike, giving you an edge in the urban environment. In a month, I have not had a single problem with the app or the pairing with the bike. I am also very happy with the support chat and the delivery (within 3 days!). I'm a little disappointed the bike didn't already come with mud guards (for Brussels it is a little problematic) and ended up buying some 1 day before the announcement of the custom ones. The accessories are also a little cheap (in particular the USB rechargeable front light which has less than an hour of charge available...). -
Dagmar
Love the design and mechanics of the bike. But I do sure miss mudguards and a kickstand to make the usage of the bike more practical. -
Niek
Simple and beautiful -

fabolous bike,a dream to ride. -

Too much attached to smartphone: no smartphone, no bike. -
Maarten
Very good bike, really fun to ride -
Bram
It’s an amazing experience with a well thought out digital approach. -
Michael
Es fährt als wenn ein Engel schiebt Cowboy ist ein richtig gutes City-Bike für mittlere Distanzen, z.B. 20 km eine Richtung. Top Unterstützung beim Antritt, großartige Beschleunigung, prima Reichweite mit 70 km, zudem mit nur 16 kg auch S- und U-Bahn tauglich auch über Treppen. Freude am Fahren jeden Tag! Wermutstropfen: kleine Kinderkrankheiten mit dem Ladegerät und den Reifen (leicht plattbar) und keine Schutzbleche. -
Thomas
tolles Fahrerlebnis und super Optik -
Glenn
Ever since I test rode this bike I immediately fell in love with the electric assistance! It’s a joy to ride this bike and lift off when the traffic light turns green :D Although riding the bike is great, I find it disheartened Cowboy didn’t include the necessary accessories for the commuter. No bike stand, no mudgaurds ( they'll start shipping soon), no luggage rack. Apart from that, I recommend this bike if you're willing to invest in the necessities. -
Bernhard
works extremely well and is cool -
Michael
2 flat wheels in the first month. Rear brake damaged after 1 month. No prepared wholes for a bottle. Smooth ride is only possible on even surface. No mud guards -
Andy
Just a great bike! Easy, good-looking and hi-tech. -
Hanne
The Cowboy bike drives in such an easy way that I enjoy driving to work every day, even if it's 16km one way! I'm proud to be seen with it. -
Markus
I love it's reduced design, the functionality in the city, the smart e-performance when needed and its maintainability. -
Andre
I really like the cowboy, it is an absolut pleasure to ride it. The motor kicks in and supports perfectly whilst the bike can be handeld almost like normal singlespeed bike because it is so lighweight and well balanced. The only thing I‘m currently looking for is an alternative tire eventhough the slicks look great on the bike they are sometimes not easy to handle on a weet road and I had two punctures in one week. Hence I still love the bike and was the absolut right choice. -
Henning
The design of the bike is simply ingenious. Many people don't even realize that it's an e-bike. The same goes for the weight. Extremely light for an e-bike. What I don't find so successful are the coats of the tires. They have almost no tread. What I was thrilled about was the support. Super fast and helpful answers. -
Michael
Ich mag das minimalistische Design. Keine Schalter, kein Firlefanz. Das Fahrgefühl ist überragend. Ich hatte zunächst Bedenken wegen der Rahmengröße (ich bin 192 cm groß), aber es passt. Für mich das perfekte Pendlerfahrrad für die Stadt! -
Lukas
Great bike, great design. App isn't working 100%, but cowboy sure is on the right way! -
Christoph
Leicht, wendig, geile Beschleunigung. Mann ist an jeder Ampel der erste, auf der anderen Seite. Der Akku ist optisch super in den Rahmen eingefügt. Ich pendel pro Tag 30km. Der Akku hält seine 70km wie versprochen. Das aller schönste ist, keine Einstellungen kein geschallte, einfach aufsteigen, losfahren und Spaß haben. Wenn mal was nicht stimmt, hat mein einen klasse Support an seiner Seite. Kann das Bike ohne Probleme für die City weiter Empfehlen. -
Milan
it makes a lot of fun and is so much cooler than „normal“ bikes! -

So, I love my Cowboy, but the bike sold is in NO WAY fit for purpose. To make it into a usable city bike, I’ve swapped out the handlebars/added a front-loader, added mudguards (obviously...), and swapped out the tires for Schwalbe anti-puncture ones (I got a flat within 15 days of riding on the tissue paper thin tires that come as standard). The lack of a stand (or the real option of adding one) is a disgrace, especially given we’re talking about a pretty eBile, which I don’t want to get scratched up. But... it’s a dream to ride and looks gorgeous. So if you’re a medium height woman who doesn’t mind spending a load of extra money at the bike shop... buy a Cowboy. -
Uwe
Everything what was promised has been fulfilled -
Peter
Cool nice urban e-bike -
Jérôme
So far, just perfect for city (riding in Paris): amazing acceleration, good brakes, quite confortable even on pave streets, lightweight (can ride without assistance easily). All good, now let's see the reliability, so far no issue. -
Peter
Great design and great biking experience in all its simplicity; just ride, no hassle with gears and other stuff. -
Rodolphe
Good look price and utility -
Stephan
Das Rad fährt sich toll. Lediglich der Komfort lässt zu wünschen übrig. Ein Fahrradständer wäre sehr wünschenswert. -
Simon
Awesome bike! Does what it says, so smoooooth. only improvement would be to offer a less aggressive position and a few capacity lights on the battery for charging. -
Freddy
the bike feels very rigid (I weigh 100kg) for it's weight, the look and the finish are superb, one problem : I have the feeling that the engine gives less assistance when the battery is at about 70% of it's full power, is that possible ? -
Sven
Smooth bike. It's riding like a rocket. -
Wolfgang
Fast, simple, Perfect design, app, batterie..... convenient, good purchase price (Fenders are necessary) -
Nikolaus
Perfectly matches my expectations and is great fun to drive -
Fabian
Great quality parts, sleek design -
Rolf
Super Fahrrad für den täglichen Weg zur Arbeit. -
Nik
Engineered from scratch having the modern urban cyclist in mind. -
Wannes
I really hated biking before, now I look forward to start my day by taking my Cowboy. -
Prem
Cycles well. Position of handle bar too low. Front light is too diffuse to help navigate in dark areas, so it's a shame you need the extra light. -
Detlef
Very easy to ride and seamless Support, however sometimes Bluetooth Connection issues. -
Nic
SLIM: Sometimes Less Is More -
Leo
Supper simplified driving: No gear shifting, just push the peddles, break on time and steer! -
Marty
Nice and simpel -
CARLOS
Because the autonomy of the bicycle: 70 km battery load. Secondly the wider tires. They are better to ride over some cobblestone in Antwerp and safe over the tram tracks. -
Pieterjan
Great bike, stylish and drives really well, ideal daily driver for the city. Some smaller negative points: - you can't go faster than 25... even when you're legs can, the bike holds you back - i'm quite big, and the size of the frame is a little small, so have to extend saddle bar to a maximum - the standard tire on the bike... i'm not yet convinced this is the right on for the bike. Some positive points: - Go to work, without sweating, looking cool - Battery life is more then enough for the city, home - work - assembly quite easy - The brakes brake, like push and stand still (quite important in the city) - No chain oil on your pants! - Fly off when the light turns green - The app is easy to use and you know immediately when to charge the battery - bike is not to heavy, so easy to take in 4,5 / 5 -
Johannes
Super nice bike that takes me quickly where I where I want in a comfortable way -
Ruben
I stopped riding a bike 25 years ago for a minor knee problem that did not allow me to pass a hill or bridge. With the Cowboy bike this problem just disappeared. The electric bike developed from scratch, keeping it simple, brilliant. Organic support, hard but ergonomic position, disc brakes (why have they longtime been criticized)... and what a look!!! -
Mathieu
Easy to ride, fast and furious bike with a great design! -
Hervé
Gorgeous, technically as expected but still a bit buggy (tyres, mudguards, noisy pedals) -
Vincent
Great bike! Riding it is great every time again. However for more comfort you really need fenders and some suspension when riding 22km to work, not taking only the asphalt roads. Besides that, I would recommend the cowboy bike to evreryone! -
Jan
Smooth ride, nice design -
Charles
Great design and very comfortable to ride. There's a clear difference with the Bosch bikes, which provide more assistance - the Cowboy is still a bike, which is what I (and the designers) wanted, nd not an electrical scooter. -
Alex
Cyckling reinvented! -
Andreas
the simple styling, the super drive and the good service via the app -
Gabriele
I like my 'Cowgirl' bike very much 😊 🚴♀️ and the support let me cycle a lot more than before! The light and the battery and the security functions are brilliant on this very stylish bike! Very soon after arrival I had to change the tyres and get mudgards...... this I would have wished to be already on! The support is always there to help!!! I would suggest the bike for a sportive person not for a person who is looking at a bike with a comfortable ride 😉 -
Michael
Das Rad entspricht genau meinen Vorstellungen und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Freue mich auf die Schutzbleche, die den Fahrspass vollenden. -
Olivier
I like the fact that Cowboy has no gears and the intuitive power assistance works very well. Following the many stares and thumbs up I get, I think many people like the design of the bike too. -
Vincent
Very trendy! And a good bike! -
Kris
The cowboy is everything I wanted in a way, giving me support when and where I need it (as seen on the website). There’s only a few flaws I experienced regarding the bike. When in cold weather (heavy rain) the battery lifespan is depleting really fast. As I use it for commuting there’s not always a way to park it rain free. This depleted my battery 2 dots in only a 2 hours time, which is a shame. The other minor issue is the noise when braking... but the rest works as a charm and I’m a happy cowboy 🖖🏽 -
Jonas
It looks great but the dust gets in everywhere -
Steffen
Smooth ride, great looks a reduction to the absolute necessary. -
Wim
This is a great bike, it rides well, looks great, is functional (although looking forward to the custom made mudguards) and the (battery) range is good. Ordering and delivery are an effortless process. Customer service responds quickly and in a meaningful way. -
Frederik
It's just the best in his class. Direct support, belt drive system and no gears makes cycling in the city a breeze. -
Dietmar
Da Bike könnte vorn eine Federung und eine Lenkerhöhenverstellung vertragen. Schutzbleche als Zubehör wären auch super, denn leider muss man das Bike sonst nach jeder Fahrt putzen. -
Felix
I drove many Ebikes trial. The cowboy was the only one that convinced me. Light, quiet and, above all, incredibly stylish. I can absolutely recommend the bike especially for the city and prefer the majority of other bikes. Thank you for being part of the cowboy family. Problems that other users have in part, I can not confirm absolutely so far. -
Silvio
Es ist ein super Fahrgefühl, immer die optimale Unterstützung vom Motor. Und sieht geil aus. -
Gerhard
Kein USB anschluss -
Matthias
A beautifully designed bike, which is great for driving -
Klaus-Jürgen
Es ist leicht, schneller Antritt, leichter ruhiger Lauf mit wenig Rollwiderstand -
Daniel
I love my Cowboy Bike because it gives me the performance I need for my daily route and it just looks extremely good. -
Helmut
Schönes Design; Ideal für die Stadt; gute Fahreigenschaften;Bremsen könnten etwas stärker greifen;macht einfach Spaß es zu Fahren! -
Manuel
Ich fahre jeden Tag ca. 40 km. Nach der ersten Woche und ca. 200km hat das Fahrrad laute Geräusche von sich gegeben. Als wenn jemand mit dem Hammer gegen den Rahmen schlägt. Außerdem hat das Vorderlicht im Stand intermittierend angefangen zu flackern. Die Kommunikation mit Cowboy war stets zeitnah. Ich sollte davon Videos drehen und Ihnen per Mail zusenden. Wie sich herausgestellt hat, war der Freilauf defekt. Es dauerte ca. 2 Wochen und ich bekam ein neues Hinterrad mit einem Link der mir beim Einbau helfen sollte. Der Einbau gestaltete sich zunächst nicht einfach. Schließlich war ich bei zwei von Cowboy auf der Website vorgeschlagenen "Kooperationspartnern" in meiner Stadt. Diese waren sehr unfreundlich und keineswegs hilfsbereit. Es machte den Anschein, dass sie von ihrer "Kooperation" mit Cowboy bisher nichts wussten. Ich habe das Hinterrad dann schließlich selbst eingebaut. Mittlerweile bin ich insgesamt 500km gefahren. Das Rad gab dann erneut Geräusche von sich. Diesmal war es die hintere Scheibenbremse. Ich musste das Hinterrad erneut ausbauen, das konnte ich ja mittlerweile, und die Bremsbacken mechanisch auseinander drücken. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass das Fahrrad dauerhaft zuverlässiger läuft. Nach diesen Erfahrungen und knapp 2000€ Verkaufspreis würde ich nicht noch einmal ein Cowboy kaufen. Bei jeder Fahrt stelle ich mir die Frage: Welche Überraschung erwartet mich heute? -
Manfred
My best bike ever....but not on rainy days..... -
Wolfgang
It is a totally new feeling to ride a bike. It's fast, it's simple ... and it's just incredibly cool. -
Stephane
This bike is magic ! -
Bart
LESS is MORE, NICE DESIGN, USER FRIENDLY, nice PRICE high QUALITY, EASY TO USE ... -
Rene
Perfect -
Nico
Not comfortable at all. Seat and bike are to rigid. -
Pepo
Great design, greater mobility compared to normal bike, good value for money. -
Jan
I like the minimalistic design and the way of riding. -
Martin
A sick design / eyecather. Full black stealth bike 😉 good speed and performance . -
Alexandre
Very easy to use and enjoyable ride, excellent design. Nice feeling of speed in the streets, especially after each stop. But not really adapted for steep hills. -
Martin
Nice design, powerful -
Alexander
cowboy bike is exactly what I hoped for. It is feeling natural to ride. Just riding, no gear shifting, no hassle. It was never so much fun to ride a bike, never so easy to start in the morning. On each traffic light I’m way ahead of everybody else. I recommend to use tires with more profile and puncture protection. Apart from that the only thing missing is mudguards. Hope they are a released soon to make the bike complete. -
Peter
I ordered the bike mid August - after a (very) convincing test ride - and received it already two weeks later (which might be exceptional reading other customers' reviews), I like how the bike is super responsive and I find it very stable and comfortable to ride (I'm quite tall), the design and aesthetics makes other (e-)cyclists turn heads. I'm aware other customers sometimes have connectivity/battery issues but 1 month later everything works fine ... next week I'm moving to another place, my daily commute will increase from 13 to 25 kms and I'm really looking forward to that :-D Now I'm impatiently waiting for the mudguards to be available (like every one else in the community :-D) -
Pascal
Bike is a beauty but just like everybody else in the other reviews, I fail to understand why you guys haven’t released the mudguards yet. It is simply ridiculous ! makes a horrendous experience - I arrive wet at work every single day - and it truly makes so sense you wouldn’t even recommend something compatible while we wait for Cowboy-branded ones. Day of my test ride, the bike (2018 model) had mudguards, if it hadn’t, I certainly wouldn’t have bought mine. -
Geoffroy
The bike is powerfully strong, yet super easy to ride. When I'm on my bike, taking the streets, I believe that nothing can stop me. The feeling of freedom is even more intense when there is trafic, as I am smarter/faster than the auto drivers. It's a real pleasure to ride my #BlackThunder (as I named it). Well done Cowboy team, you've ignited a new passion! -
Lars
Enjoying the bike, but many little annoying things of imperfection. Cracking noise from the cranks, instantly flat tyres, rubbing noise from the rear wheel, high friction when peddling without motor... Then new tyres don't sit well on the rim for some reason and now I have a wobble bike. Too much work and fixing for buying something "new", seems pre-mature mechanically :( Otherwise pretty happy with the system and how it all works, the app and stuff. Well done! -
Xiaodong
I like everything of Cowboy, but I think the tire could be better and more resistant. I had 2 punctures in the first month but my friend already had more than 10 punctures in 2 months. -
Stephan
Dies ist ein klasse Fahrrad der Zukunft. Ich bin höchst zufrieden und freue mich über jede neue Tour ! Danke liebes Cowboy Team! Ihr habt einen sehr guten Kundenservice! Gruß Stephan -
Jörg
Das Rad macht Spaß und es handelt sich bis auf Kleinigkeiten um ein durchdachtes Konzept. Begeistert bin ich von der hochwertigen Verarbeitung und dem Preis /Leistungsverhältnis. Das Rad dient mir in erster Linie zum Pendeln zur Arbeit und macht dabei noch viel Spaß. Die perfekte Antriebsregelung macht in der Ebene eine Gangschaltung überflüssig, an Steigung kommt aber schon einmal der Wunsch nach einer Untersetzung auf. Von meiner Seite sind es im Wesentlich 3 Punkte die ich Verbesserungsbedürftig finde. 1. Das Frontlicht. Auf unbeleuchteten Wegen ist das Licht absolut unzureichend und ein Sicherheitsrisiko. Technisch gesehen wäre es kein Thema gewesen ein FRontlicht einzubauen, dass den Weg vollständig ausleuchtet. Hier geht mir die Anpassung als Citybike zu weit und ich finde es schade das man so gezwungen wird ein Zusatzlicht (Diebstahlrisiko) zu installieren. Vielleicht ringt sich Cowboy ja dazu durch ein vernünftiges Frontlicht als kostenpflichtiges Extra im Austausch für das vorhandene Modul anzubieten. 2. Ein Einschalten ohne Smartphone wäre nice to have. Da ich sowei so einen Schlüssel für das Schloss benötige , wäre es schön wenn das Rad zum Bsp. durch den Akku-Schlüssel eingeschaltet werden könnte. 3. Nice to have wäre auch eine Auswahl von 2 oder 3 Unterstützungstufen per App. Insbesodere dann wenn man sich etwas mehr betätigen möchte ohne gleich wieder gegen den kompletten Gegenwind ankämpfen zu müssen. Bis auf diese Kleinigkeiten bin ich absolut zufrieden mit dem Kauf und erachte auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für absolut fair. Für alle die Angst haben, weil es "nur" einen Webstore in BRD gibt. Das Team von Cowboy reagiert umgehend und kompetent auf Anfragen, so das ich mir keinerlei Sorgen um eine Ersatzteilversorgung mache. -
Charly
Great value for money -
Christian
A real pleasure to ride the Cowboy for every commute ! -
Josh
Great bike. Intuitive ride. But uncomfortable and a bit un-thought-through. (Mud guards, kick stands, tyres!!) -
Giel
Smooth pedal assistance and great design -
Alexander
Meine Pendelstrecke wird zum Vergnügen! Am Anfang gab's ein Problem mit der Bluetooth-Verbindung, aber jetzt läuft es problemlos. Ich hatte auch schon den ersten Platten, das scheint mit den Reifen unvermeidbar zu sein. Der Support ist sehr freundlich und hilfreich! -
Thorsten
I am extremely delighted with the bike... I use it to commute a distance of about 15 km (one way). It feels a bit like having super strength, especially when riding uphill. The contact to the cowboy team and the support are great! The only downer so far was a spontaneous drop in the battery level (25%) - this only happened during the first charging cycle and was answered immediately by the support team. I'm very happy with the bike, I can only warmly recommend it! The option on mudguards and a stand would be a good addition. Keep it up! -
Nico
Because this is the less comfortable bike i've ever tried. I can't enjoy any rides as soon as the roads are not perfect. And we know that in Belgium it is not the case. The seat is solid and small, the bike is extremely rigid and nothing is done for the comfort. -
Cedric
Perfect! Fun to ride. -
Fabrice
Great bike. Nothing to think about except riding it. -
Roberto
Other way of moving -
Daniel
I would give the bike 4 stars and a half actually...it rides very smoothly and always knows when to give the extra boost. The commuting is so easy now. No more struggling when cycling on a windy day or a steep bridge. The app works perfectly and even though I was looking for functionality over looks, I am surprised by how many people say that it is a beautiful bike. The only downside...the mudguards. I know I am stating the obvious but it is a mess every time it rains. I tried with a short ass-saver but it was not enough. What I kind of worry about is the sand that gets inside the battery compartment. Every time I come home I need to carefully clean it with a brush. So I cannot wait for the day when you guys unleash the mudguards! For the rest I am over the moon with the bike and how accessible the whole team has always been for questions, test ride etc... -
Joeri
The design and the riding quality are really great. -
Arne
Positive: Well thought-out no-frills design. Great motor. Great service. Negative: App-dependence is annoying. Panaracer tires look great, but I already had two flat tires in my first month driving. Steering feels different (and not as good) compared to my test-drive during eBike Days expo in Munich. -
Kevin
Nice design and great experience with it during the first 30 km. After the 30 km there was a malfunction with the rear gear. It's been almost a month and i'm still waiting on the new wheel. I hope that when it arrives I finally get to drive it. -
Jean-Francois
I like the bike very much: it is agile and the electric assistance is very smooth. I like very much the design without gears. A lot of fun so far... -
Boris
Das Fahrrad sieht klasse aus, es ist schnell und leicht. -
Florian
Das Cowboy-Bike hat zweifellos ein überragendes Design. Es fährt sich und funktioniert wunderbar. Allerdings wurde die Lieferzeit bei mir um 2 Tage überschritten & da man die Lenkerhöhe nicht verstellen kann und es ein maximal Gewicht von 110Kg hat(inkl. 16,5Kg Bike), ist es nicht für alle Körpergrößen/-gewichte geeignet. Ich fahre mit dem Fahrrad jeden Tag 46Km und komme ohne Federung erstaunlich gut in der Stadt zurecht. Preis/Leistung ist hier optimal und mit ein paar Anbauteilen kann man das Bike super ausstatten. Die intuitive Ansteuerung des Antriebes macht das Fahrradfahren zu einem Erlebnis. Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden und kann das Bike jedem empfehlen, der von seinen Körperproportionen zu dem Bike passt. -
Oliver
Nach einer ewig dauernden Anlieferungszeit von mehr als 40 Tagen, kam endlich das Cowboy. Insgesamt ein hochwertig wirkendes bike. Leider fallen dann doch, die unsauber gefertigten Schweißnähte, an der Hinterradaufhängung auf, auch dass die Standardbohrungen für genormte Fahrradständer fehlen ist semioptimal. Fährt man Nachts, fällt auf, dass die integrierte Beleuchtung gerade mal 10m weit Licht ins Dunkel bringt u. man gezwungen ist, die mitgelieferte Zusatzbeleuchtung anzubringen u. zu nutzen. Auch wenn es ein ebike unter 2k € ist, ärgern einen die billig wirkenden u. wenig halt gebenden Pedale sehr. Positiv sind das/der/die: - Abrollverhalten der Reifen, - sehr leise E-Motor, - schnelle Restmontage bei Anlieferung, - Geschwindigkeit - einfach zu verstehende App mit gutem Navi - sehr gute Sitzposition - Gewicht. -
Simon
Great bike. Your first ride will be an experience you‘ll never forget. I‘ll bet you‘ll see a smile in your face and enjoy a great feeling inside. -
Vadim
good design -
Stefan
If you are in a area that is not completely flat the bike gets to its limits quite quickly. All in all its fun to ride it and you can move through the city very smoothly. -
Markus
High quality, very innovativ, great design -
Eric
Does not help enough in steep hills. The brakes are rattling (making a rattling noise...) I hope they are well fastened... -
Keno
Great Riding in electric and non electric Mode. So you can use the Cowboy similar to a regular fixi bike for a workout session. Tires are still working after 140km on different roads. For the coming winter well mudguards a definitely a must have. -
Franz
It’s better than I ever thought -
Mario
The bike is unbelievably fun to drive. I use it mainly for my 10km ride to work, but more and more often I catch myself thinking on what other occasions I can use the Cowboy instead of the car. That’s definitely a good thing (for me and for the environment). Even when I had a bumpy start (defective back light), I was supported by the cowboy team and they helped me with my problems. -
Uwe
It is very easy to take it and ride it also for Long distances. -
Hannes
Great bike.. feels like gliding over the streets. -
Raymond
It is just a fantastic bike -
Patrick
The driving experience is excellent. The frame and the arrangement of the handlebar are, in my opinion, not suitable for larger persons (I am 1.90 m tall). I have changed the stem and handlebars, now it's okay. It is ideal for commuting. I really enjoy riding every day. -
Christian
I love to ride this bike to go to work. This commute time is now enjoyable. -
Stefan
the bike has a fantastic design and a simple functionality, just jump on it and ride it without any complex gear shifts, it is easy to ride directly from the start as you get e-support immediately, a perfect cowboy for the city and with 16kg the bike is in comparison to other e-bikes easier to handle. -
Maximilian
Main reasons why I decided for buying a cowboy were the price, the fact that you almost don't feel like riding an E-Bike (very well calibration between pedalling power and engine support), belt drive, the off-road mode, the free SIM card for GPS tracking and the control via app on your phone. Points to improve are missing USB port for charging my phone, missing additional fingerprint sensor for enabling w/o the phone, non available original mudguards, tires are too fragile, missing app features like distance since last charging, no charging level indicator on battery, remaining distance estimation, handlebar fixation makes noise and is becoming loose from time to time, the pedals make funny crack noises if I put weight on (not best quality?), non brand-free option, one frame size only, and "only" 110kg as maximum load. Apart from these points of improvement, I love riding the bike and don't know any better alternative. -
Till
Fast and smart -
Christian
The best Bike ever -
Leo
Riding the bike feels great. The parts are high quality and everything just feels smooth. The acceleration is intuitive and makes it easy to bike as fast or slow as you want/need. The fact you can still go 25km/h quite easily even when the battery is dead should be highlighted more, since that's really a big plus compared to other e-bikes. -
Robert
Mein Bike ist Super cool ich bin nie so gerne Fahrrad gefahren wie jetzt und nach meine Knie OP fahre ich jeden Tag mein Auto steht in der Garage -
Wesley
The cowboy bike is a smart bike. It ain't like another electrical bike coz you still need to do the effort to cycle. It's light and therefor agile. It rides like you're hanging in someone's wheel, or feels like someone's pushing you just enough to launch you. Helping you across hills or when you need to push against a strong wind. Cowboy helps you through those difficult moments,but doesn't take away the fun of cycling. -
René
Excellent concept in its simplicity and efficiency. Nice design too. -
Cedric
Feels great to ride the city... I definitely recommend cowboy. So far no flat tyre 🤞... just some noise on my belt that I need to take action on -
Wim
See one and you want one, try one and you buy one -
Jasmine
It is pleasant to ride and looks fantastic. -
Raf
It looks good, feels great and drives fast! Very natural support by the electrical assistance! Top! -
Daniel
Everything fits together perfectly: great design, usability, value for money! No regrets until now. -
Daniel
I love the bike and its design but there are some little things that can be done better. The support ist great! -
Koen
Smooth Purchasing process for a great bike which is easy to ride. -
Heike
Perfect bike... So much fun! -
Martin
Eigentlich fünf Sterne, ich komme mit einer Akku Ladung aber max 60 km und der Lenker ist für mich etwas zu niedrig und lädt sich nicht verstellen. -
Chris
It’s very nice to step on the vehicle and feel the traction rightaway. -
Carmen
It is great and light -
Yunus
Battery just shuts off -
Arne
Ich habe ein massives Problem mit der Elektrik, der Support ist aber nicht erreichbar. Bis der Fall geklärt ist, ist das Fahrrad eigentlich unbrauchbar. Absolutes no go. -
Andreas
Some more options and we have 5 Stars -
Ulrich
Riding the cowboy is always great. Dynamics, sports, design. Great fun. I did not like that I experienced a flat tire twice in the beginning and found out that a nail was stuck inside the tire injuring the tube also after it was renewed. The strange thing: the nail came in without an outside tire injury during riding. Somehow it must have come in during construction. Bad luck for me, don’t know how this can happen. -
Dennis
The Cowboy gives me wings and is very intuitive to use. I have some minor quibbles but would certainly recommend this bike! -
Didier
Great bike but the app needs some serious upgtade. Especially regarding the trip history -
Bernd
Cool look and perfect function -
Friedrich
looks smooth, good to ride, deficiencies uphill -
Christopher
The bike totaly changed my daily way to work. No more traffic jams, no more overpriced gas for the car. The bike is fast, looks great and i get the workout i am usually to lazy for...thumbs up! -
Eberhard
It’s extreme fun to ride the Cowboy. The motor controller is tuned perfectly, the „fade out“ when the max speed is reached is great and practically unnoticeable - no „hitting a rubber wall“ when accelerating. The built in front & back lights are great and useful, however it would be nice if they would be legal for use in Germany (I don’t know what’s the legal requirements in the rest of the EU), i.e. no need for the additional lights which come included with the bike. I have problems with one of the pedals (the bearings started to make noise after 1 day or so). I still need to contact Cowboy for this, so I still hope this will be an easy fix (replacing the dud pedal). One downer so far is the fact, that the next partner repair shop, the app shows, is more than 200km away. Especially in southern Germany the partner repair shops are still very(!) rare. I hope this situation will improve. The iPhone App is ok, but an Apple Watch companion app (at least for switching the Cowboy on/off) would be really, really useful! -
Tim
Beautiful minimalistic design with no-nonsense integrated technology. Schwalbe tires are substandard though. -
Tom
Immediate defects: problem with battery and tires (+ delivery a month later) -
Stefan
The bike is lightweight simple and an eye catcher -
Tino
Drive iT and You Will now the answer🤟 -
Philippe
What a great bike to commute to work. I’m as fast as by car but now I arrive stress-free. The design is wonderful and the ride is smooth. Too bad there are still no mudguards for the 2019 model but I found some which fit perfectst and look stylish. -
Christian
A Firmwareupdate killed the bike -
Mike
Awesome bike. Speed is great. Only problem are the tired. -
Christoph
I was fallen in love with the bike when I saw at the web side and I 'm still in love. I use the bike meanly to go for short city trips on a daily base . Every day I looking for a reason to ride my bike. It is a perfect bike for what is made for. It fast and it makes a lot of fun to ride, it looks great, and it avoids to use the car. -
François
I feel like superman -
Ivan
Great bike! Great service! Great overall! -
Benjamin
Nearly perfect bike. Good battery range and very smooth engine control. But it is a bit disturbing that you have to use you phone every time to switch it on and off. Maybe a simple switch would also do it. -
Thorsten
Es ist genau das was man zum normalen Fahrradfahren braucht. Es fährt so kinderleicht wie ein Auto mit Automatik. Alles intuitiv. Beste Entscheidung für Stadt, Straße, Waldwege...in Norddeutschland. 🤠 -
Kaj
My Cowboy is light and easy to grab and go for a ride. I use it to commute 15 Km to my work, but have also caught myself on going for a ride just for the fun of it. To make it really fit for daily use I had to purchase a lock and mudboards, and am still looking for a stand that fits. The boards and lock the friendly worker at Cowboy recommended, are nevertheless beautiful and could have been designed by the guys and girls from Cowboy themselves. So 4/5 means: good job, great bike, lots of fun riding it! -
Michael
Es fährt sich richtig gut. Einen Stern Abzug für fehlendes Zubehör wie Schutzbleche, Gepäckträger und Ständer, die sich auch nur sehr schwer aus dem freien Handel nachrüsten lassen. Die App ist nicht schlecht, benötigt aber deutlich zu viel Akkuenergie. Bei meinem Mittelklassehandy wird die Akkukapazität bei einer längeren Tour (3h) nicht ausreichen. Trotzdem würde ich das Rad wieder kaufen, da es sich wirklich sehr gut fährt. -
Michael
Offroad Mode! ;-) -
Testfahrten
The Cowboy Bike is fun to ride. The motor support works fine and makes accelerating to top speed very easy. The bike has a cool design that makes people turn their heads. -- I'd give a five star rating if the tires wouldn't run flat so easy, especially when the streets are wet. I wish future versions of the bike have more robust tires. -
Christian
I am very enthusiastic about the very clean design, the equipment and the workmanship. Sometimes I miss a suspension fork because of the partial bad roads and bike paths in Berlin. -
Thomas
The bike’s design is top. Riding it is fun. I cannot go slower than top speed. I love cruising around. But there is room for improvement: my second firmware update went wrong and I needed support resetting the bike. In the second week, I had a flat tyre. The battery of my bike loses 13% over night sometimes, or the indication must be wrong in the evening. I think, the indication needs tuning. Personally, I would like to have the possibility to buy more fitting accessories from cowboy, or the possibility to choose a better/other tyre right from the start, like the configurators from car companies. I visited some of the service partners for buying accessories in Munich, but they had no idea about the bike and no parts available. In total, I love the bike. We have grown together, and I am looking forward to owning the accessories announced in the faqs. Your service team is very fast and friendly and wish you all the best to continue improving. -
Ludwig
it's great fun to ride the bike. I've never ridden as much bike as I've had the bike since. I drive my bike to the office every day. -
Mathieu
It’s a world of freedom with the cowboy bike -
Marius
Unfortunately I cannot recommend the bike yet. There are two reasons for this: First I had to wait 34 days for the bike. Then, after less than three weeks, the bike started making strange noises. Now I can't ride it anymore, because something is wrong with the engine and the rear wheel. The service then informed me that I should wait a few weeks for a spare rear wheel. Since I wanted to drive to work with it every day, I am now reminded every day that I paid 2,000 € for a non-functioning bicycle. I am very disappointed. The only positive thing I have to say is that the design is really cool and that the bike would be really great if it worked. -
Martin
The 2019 Cowboy is the first e-bike on the market that ticks all the boxes: replaceable battery, smartphone integration, great ride, sleek design. -
Jens
My last bike got stolen, so I needed a new bike and had seen the Cowboy advertisement as well as an article on this new stylish ebike before that. It looks really stunning and drives well when the battery works. That however is the problem so far. About two weeks ago did the bike shut down on my way home from work - maybe it’s worth to say, that my city is really hilly and some of the uphill passages are impossible to cycle without the battery support. I thought this might have been a reminder on not having charged my bike after two weeks as said in the manual. Worked fine after charging that night until the day before yesterday. This time I was still within the 14 days in between charging and the battery simply died on me. I left home with three lights and 54%. When I arrived at work was I down to two lights, but didn’t check the percentage. After work was there only one light left and the App said I had only 2km left. Needless to say, that I didn’t make it home and had to push my Cowboy in between. Bad timing to ask for my comment, because so far my Cowboy didn’t prove reliable at all. -

The Cowboy bike is a dream come true. I use it everyday as my primary mode of transport and am fully satisfied with it. The electric assistance is wonderful and works exactly as wished, and for this price, I’m convinced it’s most probably the best e-bike on the market. My only improvement points would be the fact that the bike is shipped without mudguards and a kickstand and the need to use the app to turn on the electric assistance. -
André
This Bike is a "wow". A bike as it should be. No nonsense but just driving. You are extremely fast in the city and also in the countryside. The engine is a bit noisy under extreme conditions, but that seems okay. I have already recommended it to several friends. They also bought and are also excited -
Michael
Ein absolut tolles Fahrrad, Preis und Leistung stimmen, der Kundenservice ist super. Egal wo man gerade ist, wird man aufs Bike angesprochen! Zurecht, es fährt nicht nur gut, es sieht auch gut aus 👍😄 -
Agoston
Great bike to zip around in town -
Mathieu
Brilliant bike but still need improvements -
Willie
Design is brilliant, Smooth ride. Light is good, well balanced. Love the communication through the app. I do miss mudguards and an integrated lock. Rear brake a bit less responsive and effective than the front brake, nothing a bit of tweaking can’t fix, just too bad that it’s within five weeks of use -
Joonas
The bike and the app are good combo and the price is competitive. I like it a lot. The only annoying thing is that in everyday use you'll need to install mudguards and a bike leg yourself to make it practical to use. -
Michael
Very stylish, easy to drive. -
Bart
Great bike. Stripped down to the basics. Good value for its price and nice looks that stand out. -
mark
This is the best bike I have ever ridden, it handles beautifully, the brakes are sensitive - no danger of going over the handlebars under heavy braking; as an engineer I appreciate the sophistication of the drive train. I spent a lot of time researching before buying this bike and am confident my decision was correct. -
Rolf-Dieter
Hallo Mélanie, I have Noe Riffen 350km Oma Cowboy bike. I notice that the battery is enough for more than 100km. Unfortunaly, I had to fix the front wheel 2 times because the hose had a hole, an flat tire might be an alternative. The cable guide also loosens on the lower frame and touches the tire. I fix this with a tape. Now I have to bring the belt back to tension based on your description on the website. But driving is a lot of fun. Greetings Rolf-Dieter -
Jorgen
The ride is very smooth and easy. -
Simon
The Cowboy let me ride more with a bike than I used to do. I‘m living in a City in the northern part of Germany. Every trip (work, visiting friends, picking up things from a post Station etc.) I have to make I‘m taking the Cowboy. No matter how far or how ‚hard‘ a climb could be. The only thing I miss are mudguards😊 All in all I love my Cowboy and I would definetely recommend it! -
Henry
It’s a plain naturally bike for a affordable price which makes it much more easier and enjoyable for you to get where you want in your city while discovering completely new exciting trails. -
Christian
Cowboy is the perfect city bike. To work, I only need half the time compared to the car. Cowboy keep it up! -
Alexander
Man muss noch zu viel treten um den Antrieb zu spüren -
Patrick
It feels great to ride. Only thing: there’s a kind of whistling (like birds chirping) sound coming from the motor (I suspect). Might be the reflectors though. -
Dirk
Nice Design, very clean. Perfect for the daily ride to work. People are asking me for my bike, orhers say: oh, this is a Cowboy bike. -
Bart
Simple answer : it not only looks cool, but it is cool! You see people taking a second look when you pass them or pull up next to them. Cowboy offers a smooth ride and I arrive quicker at the office without breaking into a sweat. Only one point of improvement, and the reason I don't give 5 stars: the tires. They are not that good! So come on Cowboy install kick ass tires by default and the sky is no longer the limit :-) -
Donald
I have a little issue with the battery, which has to do with the calibration. When it is solved due to the recommendations by Cowboy, I'll be a very happy Cowboy rider that would change my rade to 5 stars. -
Peter
Great Style and Perfect for city -
Robin
Sure, the bike looks damn good and is very reasonable priced. But the best thing is the driving experience- completely silent and without annoying shifting. This is my 5th e-bike since 2011 and by far the best. I would buy it again immediately. Oh yes - mudguards and more durable tires would be nice. -
Hau
Das Rad hat sehr gute fahreigenschaften und der Akku hat eine hohe Reichweite. Die Verarbeitung des Rades ist gut. -
Nicolas
It works, it’s simple, it’s fast. Drove my car every day, now almost never. No fuss with it. -
Damien
As a business man travelling across the city in suit, I was looking for something classy, easy and effective. Cowboy is exactly that, with a cherry on the cake which is its competitive price :) -
Yannick
Light weight , great assistance, speed, looks.... -
Nicolas
Very fun to drive. Probably better for riding in the city than in longer or rougher places (hills for example). I really enjoy taking corners and slaloming with this nervous bike and also appreciate a lot the feeling of not having to change gears -
Tim
Good price/quality ratio with this bike. I would already miss it! -
Nik
I used to commute by car/train, but now I’m happily cycling 34 km back and forth (charging at work just to be sure). After about 1.000 km I can say: I love it. It’s fast, agile, good looking. And affordable compared to other (uglier) electric bikes. I do hope accessories get released soon, because an extra charger and some fenders would be a great addition. -
Mitchel
The bike is fantastic! You can say a bike like no other if you look too the driving system. Ride perfect🤠! 2 points for improvement is more accessories and a better tube. -
Jens
Looking cool, easy to use and charge. Perfect way getting around in the City! Only thing missing are mudguards! -
Stefan
Fashionably fast! -
Renaat
Great bike of the future! The app, the drive, the fun, the helpdesk! Buy of the year without a doubt!!! -
Nicolas
I really love the design of the bike. It’s minimalist and lightweight. I was looking for an electric bike with a belt, an hidden battery in the frame, but the ability to remove it to charge at home. Cowboy was the perfect combination for that at a reasonable price -
Dries
Very stylish bike with a sporty position and feel. Extremely stiff frame and very responsive pedal throttle. The bike challenges you to ride faster, to ride more, to ride further and that with a big smile in your face. The only downside are the standard tires. They are not up to the challenge to shred. They are very grippy and role like a champ but taking the average Belgium bicycle lane (most of them are in very bad shape) will give you a flat. Cowboy Support is very good and friendly! They help you with all your questions. -
Michel
Simple, easy and powerful with a touch of sportivity. The just effort to keep your health without too many sweat. Beautiful and efficient as my Mac. Maybe the first macbike. -
Tobias
My best bike in my life. I'm so happy. -
Jelle
It is fun to ride and the battery lasts very long but the tyers are not strong and get punctured a lot. -
Charles
The bike is awesome! It drives so smoothly and I reach 30km/u easily. I would buy it again, so happ when I drive it each day. -
Burth
The design is great, the feeling when you kick the pedal for a true lift-off, people staring at you when you pass by.... -
Diederik
Nice bike, well designed. Smooth cycling. -
Horst
I forgot: a hint for those who have difficulties with finding and fixing mud guards: Ibought regular „Bluemels“.The back Wheel was no Problem even though I also mounted a small „BackRack“ Carrier. For the lack of fixing threads for the front wheel guards I used the internal thread of the axis on the left and a 3mm dowel(!) for the small hole in the axis screw on the right side - it really works since 700km now... -
Horst
...almost Perfect! -
Matthias
Super zu fahren, auch für mich mit 193cm Größe, hat für mich die Erwartung, das Auto stehen lassen zu können für den Weg zur Arbeit, voll erfüllt. -
Dieter
Have had more days with issues then days I could use the bike -
Nicolas
It drives great. You can‘t really feel the Motor set in and stop. It’s just very smooth. You just think you got a lot of muscle. Only 4 stars because I got some minor issues, backlight and bottom bracket ball bearing. -
Nicolas
Very cool, design, and useful -
Jonathan
Very Light. A pretty Gooo design Easy to use With the app The assiste do the job and you stil have a cycling sensation -
Jens
Xxxxxxxxxxxx -
Steven
Only issues till now -
Onno
Fast and furious, goodlooking too -
Lionel
La conduite de ce vélo est vraiment incroyable! Fluide mais qui t'accompagne à merveille sur la route au quotidien! En terme de conduite, je ne pourrais rêver mieux! Encore quelques minis défauts de jeunesse, mais qui vont vite disparaître 😁 -
Andy
Great bike but battery sometimes failed -
Maarten
Such a smooth ride, ideal for riding through the city! -
Eric
Super nice bike! Had some problems with the rear light but it was solved perfect by the Cowboy team -
Thomas
The bike is a joy to ride -
Vivaldi
Quick and easy transportation to clients and abroad, perfect leasure between breakfast and design/workshop/on-site-building, the ride home afterwards is just a treat -
Geert
Ease of use and great to go to work by bike 👍👍 -
Thibaud
I love the bike. The design is sexy and the assistance is really helpful in Brussels’ streets. The removable battery is also a plus. It needs some adjustments though, like stronger tires, mudguards and kickstands. But if I had to choose a bike again, I’ll surely choose this one. Long life to Cowboy ! -
Jonas
The only downside are the tyres. Too fragile -
Martin
Nice looking bike -
Luc
Just what I needed -
Koen
Easily my new favorite way to get around town and commuting to work. The bike gives a feeling of control at all times which certainly beats driving. Mud guards would have been a nice addition as fitting good looking guards from other brands is not easy. -
Bart
It runs very smooth and fast. Great design. -
John
Rides constant, smoothly and comfortable . Still sportive, which keep me active and happy a thing I missed on 'normal' ebikes. Also very happy that you do not have to shift gears and that there is an option to go a bit faster on long stretches, 24 k to my work is therefore a fun extra option. The bike rides good even without support and looks good -
Maxime
Great design, very smart bike regarding acceleration, and well connected to the App. It is the perfect bike to commute on short distance -
Xavier
Design top, although lack of design accessories Fulfill my wish to go to work daily by bike without sweating during the trip Lighter than other e-bikes -
loic
I love the bike but the fact that it has no kickstand or mudguards is really annoying sometimes. -
Pierre
Easy to use... I use it when I am traveling with the camper. With its 16 kg this is an ideal weight for the camper. -
Lars
Het is alleen in het Engels , als iemand met je fiets weg gaat word het niet goed aangegeven waar het is en je moet al echt heel dicht bij zijn om je fiets aan en uit de doen -
Lone
In de eerste maand met deze e-bike, heb ik het stuur voor een betere zithouding 10 cm dichter naar me toe gezet. Dit onder andere met een stuurpenverlenger. Comfortabele handvatten maakten het af. Spatborden en een achterzitje voor de fietstassen volgden. Een ringslot voor de veiligheid vast aan de buitenkant van de vork, anders krijg je de accu er niet meer uit. En een zijstandaard voor het gemak. Met weinig wind of hellingen gaat het fietsen ook goed zonder de stroomondersteuning. Een smartphone moeten gebruiken voor een paar km fietsen met gunstige weersomstandigheden doe je niet, dat is te omslachtig. Voor het overige gaat het elektrisch rijden naar wens. Dus een schakelaar op het stuur zou voor mij wel een uitkomst zijn, maar buiten dat ben ik tevreden met deze 2019 Cowboy. -
Dieter
Enjoy the bike alot, but cant drive during days it rains because of the lack of protective mudguards -
David
Awesome bike, design, user friendly and the most important the riding experience is excellent. What a feeling :D -
Peter
Ride very smoothly and nicely desing -
Jimmy
The cowboy gives me every time a smile on my face while biking -
Louis
Great design, great performance! -
David
Overall: I like it so far and dont regret my choice. Had my highs and lows though.. Highs: There's no faster way to get around my city (beats bus/tram). Good feel while riding, responsive and agile. Good looks, got asked about it by random strangers more than once. Cons: Not assembled to own specs; flawed assembly: left break slightly loose. Flat tire on day 2, tube too small, tore. Asssaver fits as a mudflap but on wet streets the front and back wheels will spray water so strongly that only tight fit mudflaps will save your shoes, pants, back. -
Samuel
Perfect commute bike : it's agile, fast and lightweight. The battery life is close to the 70 announced (lot of hills and I'm quite heavy so I lose a few km of autonomy). The bike receives new features or improvements quite often, which is nice. On top of that the look is great and many people ask about it. It's not a perfect electric bike but for the city, what a treat! -
Andi
Ich liebe mein Cowboy, weil es mir jeden gefahrenen Meter Spaß macht und genau das bietet, was ich erwartet habe. Es war eine Blindbestellung ohne Probefahrt. -
Benoit
I truly love the way this bike was designed, avoiding overdesign, very clean, and smooth. This is something you feel while riding it. -
Thomas
Always problems. Samsung S7 not work with the App. Now I have problems with the rear brake. No fun... -
Leen
The design is amazing I love the industrial black look, and the battery capacity is more then I expected -
Patric
Super Bike. Mega Fahrspass. Man fällt auf und wird eigentlich immer darauf angesprochen. Lediglich das Thema Zubehör sollte noch ausgebaut werden. Aber dank Chat und sogar direktem Rückruf aus Brüssel konnte ich eine Kupplung für unseren Kinderanhänger und einen passenden Fahrradständer finden und montieren. Freue mich auf kommende Updates! -
Thorsten
Ich würde es immer wieder kaufen. Hier stimmt einfach alles: Design, Technik, Preis und ein ganz toller Service. So muss es sein... -
Jeroen
I got a new back wheel from Cowboy because after my first ride the free run seemed broken. -
Kalle
The bike is amazing! Fills all my needs that I have for a bike. The only complain is the quality of the tires and the fact that I need to but a lot of the accessories separately. -
Stefan
From the first moment I drove My bike, I fell in love with it. Never tried an Ebike before and I was always sceptical about it but damn, the Cowboy changed My life -
Giuseppe
Fantastic bike that is fun & speedy to drive. Low maintenance because of the belt drive. It also has a great app and a great support team as well! -
Jimmy
Basic materials used, you only pay the design and the marketing. The tyres are not adapted to the bike and flat really quickly, belt that makes a lot of noice, have to customize it by changing brakes if you're taller than 1m75, no stand, mudguards and support for cellphones (the app is central by riding a cowboy). -
Marco
Everything works very good - except the tires... 7 times a hole in four weeks ist too much! The tires are looking cool but are not very resistant... -
Lukas
That's how a bicycle should be. Cycling in the city is fun again. Braking, starting up, braking, starting up, no problem as a COWBOY rider. It doesn't look like an e-bike, is agile and has a low weight, never again without my COWBOY. And if you ever need help, you get it immediately via chat in the app. COWBOY, thanks for this great bike. -
Jean-Baptiste
Magnifique vélo. Très agréable à conduire (plus sportif que confort). Très bonne gestion de la puissance (supris très très positivement). Point noir est la stabilité du Bluetooth et peut un réglage pignon/plateau un peu court. C'est à dire qu'on mouline à partir de 30-35km/h et donc il faut se laisser descendre dans les faux plats. -
Peter
Perfect bike. Wonderful driving experience. Minor things to adapt to, e.g. battery display going too fast from 2 to 0, can be surprising at first. -
Veerle
The bike is very intuitive, you don’t need to change gears, just pedal. The design is very attractive, also young people are very interested in it. You don’t have the impression that you must not do an effort like on a grandma electrical bike, you still have to pedal, when I come from work which is 24km riding, I’m really sweating! I lost the pleasure of cycling a few years ago due to lower back pain but found it back now thanks to Cowboy. -
Glenn
Beautiful design and great pedal support -
Edouard
It’s just a pleasure and fun to ride with the cowboybike. A click, unlock the bike and off you go. -
Stijn
Very beautiful and awesome bike! Although there’s some improvement possible, it’s a thrill to ride the bike! -
Ignace
Superb look, fantastic electric assistance adapted to pedal force. Even when the battery is empty, the low weight of the bike makes cycling easy. So no panic in comparison to the traditional heavy e-bike. I ran flat and had to change the inner tube of the rear wheel, and thanks to the tutorial it was a piece of a cake 👍. -
Jeff
Extremely stylish, easy to ride, other bikers give you free way -
Marco
The bike is really cool and the way to move forward is simply brilliant. Even slight gradients are no problem. I am happy to be a cowboy! -
Stijn
2 flat tires in one trip, -
Thomas
It's a great bike and I have a lot of fun with it. The simplicity is awesome. However, you have to know that it is a bike for the smooth road. It is good on the road but it can sometimes feel hard in case of bumps. I would be happy to buy additional mudguards, an additional charger and a nice designed luggage rack 🙂 -
Dan
good smooth riding over the full distance (70km and more), fast acceleration, easy to handle -
Timm
Because its a lot of fun to ride the bike extremly silent but fast along the streets -
Sven
The driving experience is great! Just chance the tires for future customers. -
Thomas
The bike has a great feel when riding. The off-road mode is perfect for the longer distances, while the road mode is perfect for cruising along the city. Only downside is the lack of mudguards, but they are promised to arrive soon!! -
Carsten
the best driver feeling I ever had on a bike -
Peter
I hadn’t been on a bike for over thirty years. Fed up with using a car even for short distances I started looking for an e-bike. Pretty much every bike I came across wasn’t just that. They looked like grandma’s bike. Until Cowboy came along. A small company from Brussel with a great looking e-bike. I ordered two: one for me, one for my son. A month has passed and the bike is great. It’s fun every trip. Very easy and no nonsense with this bike. Just start and ride. A few small points: after a flat I changed the tires and a noisy belt was fixed with a clean and a bit of soap. Easy do it yourself. Overall a very good bike, beautiful design and fun to use. And at a very competitive price. Never regretted it, not even for a second. -
Frank
Macht einfach Spass -
ERIC
Design, weight, electric assistance are perfect. I even use the bike off-road on small gravel ways and it’s perfect too but I admit having added a suspension tube under the saddle for a little more comfort. -
Daniel
I love my cowboy bike! I find it very stylish (that’s why I bought it on the first place), it even more important: i love to ride it! Even random people on the streets ask me about my new bike when they see me riding by. The battery is amazing, I think the promised 70 km are an understatement. I would always buy it again! -
Marc
I experienced electronic problems between the battery and the engine. No assistance. Cowboy has solved the issue but it took some time and I do not have an explanation of the problem and the root causes. -
Alexander
Support vis App, price vs value and the feeling riding the bike is great -
Manuel
Bike is cool. Lightweight and stylish. Riding is smooth. Bad tires and the noise issue with with the belt are the things that don't make me happy. -
Philipp
I like the easy way to travel with the bike. Driving to work everyday and saving a few kilos of CO2 every week is a good feeling. As an architect, it was most important to me that the bike has a minimalistic look and the battery is well hidden, so COWBOY was my bike to go to. -
Timothy
Amazing bike that does what it’s supposed to do with no unnecessary bells and whistles. But fenders would be great... -
Arndt
Stilish, fast & smart -
Tobias
Great Bike, easy to handle and it makes a lot of fun to ride it! -
Gregor
Nearly perfect, only the squeaking sound of the belt on the first kilometers is a little annoying, but this should go away after some kilometers (i hope). Small hills are also no Problem, only when its very steep you become problems (>10%) -
Patrice
I’m the fastest around the city with my cowboy 😎 it is also the prettiest bike I know. My daily commute is now something I look forward to. -
Klaus
Like a iHarley - the bike you always wanted with an i. Customize it to match your style! -
Frank
I love the bike -
Frank
The Cowboy bike a very agile nice simple bike, which has its weaknesses but the price is fair and I have fun with the bike every day. Thanks to the whole team for the awesome Fahrrad.Macht please keep it up, you are on the right Way 😎😊👍👍 -
Pascal
Is just an amazing riding. -
Volker
Es ist einfach cool damit durch die Stadt zu fahren. Allerdings solltet ihr so schnell wie möglich einen Fahrradständer für das Rad anbieten. -
Florian
- unique and perfect motor integration. Support kicks in with an unseen harmony. - de facto no motor sound at all (V2). - battery removable. - lightweight. - design. - price. These are the reasons for which I recommend the cowboy and would buy it again. It’s a great bike, easy and fun to drive. -
Jan
Great city bike, I have added a BASIL aluminium front carrier which suits good and even updates the cool design -
Jan-Carlo
Nearly perfect. The problem is i had 5 punctures in the last 2 weeks. Changed the tires now to schwalbe pro. The fabriy tires are nearly useless in a city like berlin. And mudguarda are essential!! -
Milaid
Fast, great design and nice integration of the app. -
Andreas
Tremendous look and feel -
Paul
Riding this bike is fun. It just feels good and you are used to it after a few minutes. It is so good, that I am willing to ignore the poor name choice. Come on, guys. Cowboy? Really? 😘 Just one downside: Standard accessoires like mudguards don't fit well and you currently can't get those from Cowboy afaik. With a bit of skill and tools, you can make it work. Just don't expect to use them "out of the box". -
Jörn
The bike rides great and the intuitive assistance is perfect. The ride is very intuitive and lets you do your thing so overall I'm happy, especially for this price! -
Andreas
The bike is just fantastic. Unbelievably smooth. I commute now almost every day across Munich and annoy me no more about the traffic. The missing original accessories, like mudguards, are a bit annoying and an emergency switch for starting without Smartphone would be nice . -
Jörn
Ich Liebe das Bike. Es ist leicht man kann den Akku abnehmen es hat genügend Reichweite und der Drehmomentsensor im Zusammenspiel mit dem von Cowboy selbstentwickelten Motor ist einfach perfekt. Nicht zu vergessen das Bike ist eine Schönheit! -
Matthias
I love this bike. It‘s easy, it‘s fast and it has the most beautiful design! -
Michael
This bike does not only look really slick it also is the best driving experience I have ever had. The electrical support is perfect and knows exactly when to push the bike on. So far I haven’t had any problems and the way to work and back on the bike is a lot of fun. Cowboys customer support is very fast and very helpful. The cowboy app is OK, I hope more features around trip history and stats will be added. The only negative point that I would mention so far was the long waiting time until the bike was delivered. Thankfully this is now over. -
Peter
Good design, solid build. Battery dropped by about 25 percent, while bike was turned off. -
Bo
The bike simply looks as stunning as it rides. During the first two weeks i owned the bike i suddenly found myself using the bike instead of the car for al kinds of trips, simply because it’s so much fun to ride. Only downside so far is the lack of mudguards. -
Patrick
It’s an amazing ride. Fluid, intuitive, the frame looks stunning and for my commute it is an absolute perfect bike -
Roman
Fast bike for the city! Best quality! You don't need more! -
Helmut
A city bike should be be like a cowboy, i’m thrilled -
Rodli
Because the bike is so simple in design and functionality but for me perfect. When I ride the bike I feel free and I love the speed😅 -
Bernd
it‘s my first EBike and i use it often -
Hendrik
Riding this, is as being cool as the Marlboro man smoking a cowboy bike - the more when the lights are on! -
Rafael
I love the design and the intuitive concept of motor support! It is just perfect for fast riding! -
Frank
top design, without „ not necessary“ accessories. Just drive and enjoy ! -
Gerhard
Für mich das beste E-Bike in dieser Preisklasse auf dem Markt. -
Harald
The style is very nice. And the stepless performance don't let you remember, that you are riding an e-bike. I miss a possibility to load the mobile... -
Aage
Great design, technology was perfectly matched for a city bike, very friendly and eager customer service -
Bernhard
Unfortunately cannot recommend it. Several issues I am facing: front and rear breakes are squeaking, the belt makes odd notices, no good kickstand available for this 2019 model. To make sure you won't return the bike with it's flows, return policy says "can only return unused bike". Very displeased, my 15 year old mountainbike makes less weirded noises, has a kickstand and fenders. -
Max
Love my bike when riding through Munich. It’s quite and fast. One star less because after 1 week my belt made some weird sound. But some soap fixed it fast. Also good Support. -
Mario
Best bike ever easy to ride and enjoy! -
Nadine
It looks cool and rides extremely smooth and quiet. -
Sven
The bike is very impressive and innovative. I loved it from the first day of use. For me it is a perfect commuter bike! -
Malte
The best thing about the bike is simplicity. One gear, intuitive cycling. With style. You will love it - it's fun!!! Downside is steering (no way to cycle freehand), tricky accessories (mount a luggage rack but still get your battery out / find and fit mud guards), you need to get used to cycling position (can't change height of handlebar) and my rear axis did squeal right away. I am going to cut a YouTube review as soon as possible. In a nutshell: For that price to get a stylish bike which is fun to ride and I love commuting with it. Some growing pains but it's still a good deal and you will love it! -
Marc
Looks brilliant, and real quick ride -
Michael
Great Design, functional, light an fast EBike -
Florian
Form + Function -
Axel
Bad after sale Service. -
Yves
Great looking bike. Very fast in the city. Outside the city, maybe a little bit slow. -
Kai
The best bike I ever owned. Perfect for getting me to work without breaking a sweat. -
Stefan
Absolut entspanntes fahren -
Johannes
It's really fun to ride the cowboy bike. Too bad that no fenders, luggage rack and stand are built with. The tires are also a weak point. -
Christian
Great design, perfect functionality and connectivity. I love the new feel of just getting so easy to every place I never wanted to ride before. This bike is the most simple but the very best I ever owned (even ebike). -
Luca
My cowboy bike I have received after longing 7 weeks. The first day the bike nail was beautiful, never was it easier to ride a bicycle than with the . well after the first few days the first mistakes started ... And then the rain came and I had to drive through the forest because the Cowboy app guided me through this larger forest piece. After driving through the forest, sounds gradually accumulated .. from grinding from the bottom bracket and the freewheel. With a long back and forth writing with cowboy I was helped in the beginning. However, I was only put off by a colleague who tells me that play the brake lever is normal, however, on the other hand, the game is much less ... Now, as after the said drive through the forest, I reported back to Cowboy and there were then sent me tutorials, with which I should please repair the bike. Very good the noise with the freewheel is gone and he "slips" no longer. Nevertheless, after cleaning the timing belt still grinding noise from the bottom bracket and a wheel which has an imbalance. To ride the bike I have to say, the concept is amazing. It is a lot of fun to cycle through the city by bike, the app control works great and is easy to use. -
Johannes
Cowboy macht Spaß -
Rick
-Cowboy does not provide the promissed mudguards. Why? - The electrical wiring makes mounting a standard kickstand impossible. In Amsterdam you have to have a kickstand else you Will damage your bike. This is a design thing. -
Marc
Easy, fast, lightweight -
Reimund
My Cowboy bike and me - just love at first sight :-) -
Koen
Good bike, nice feeling on te bike. Really miss the mudguards. Range is good when at 25 km/h. It looks very good. -
Wolfgang
Das Cowboy ist im täglichen Gebrauch wirklich super und schon sehr ausgereift, es könnten in der App noch ein paar Features eingebaut werden sowie Zubehörartikel über das Web z.B. Schutzbleche, Ersatzakku angeboten werden! -
Javier
The bike is everything you expect when you buy it. It rides like a charm and looks fantastic. However, it is highly incompatible with standard accesories (even some of those recommended by Cowboy) and the battery has been behaving funny during the first charge, spontaneously dropping about 25% after use. Overall very happy with it, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a commuter bike; but if you are planning to bring your children around on it, look around for other better suited bikes. -
Leen
After you tried the Cowboy, you will never want to ride a normal Bike again. -
Sören
When I was a kid, I wished I had this kind of biking. -
Bram
The bike rides great and the intuitive assistance is perfect, though no suspension means you think about the roads you take just so you don't arrive shaken to the core (hard to avoid in Brussels). The special tires I don't understand, they have no grip whatsoever when going fast on tarmac, perhaps that's why they're called Gravelkings, but I've yet to see a city where roads are more gravel than tarmac. It misses a lot of basic necessities like a kickstand etc, but honestly the ride is very intuitive and lets you do your thing so overall I'm happy, especially for this price! -
Abraham
Great bike, easy to use, pleasant to ride, super to move around in the city! App could do with some improvements! -
Robert
Nice clean simple bike! Na eyecatcher in the city -
Willem
perfect -
René
Das Fahrrad hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen, es fährt sich sehr gut -

The Cowboy is a very nice looking bike with a very high riding comfort thanks to the intuitive assistance -
Thomas
Its a Great Bike -
Valentin
Great bike, but the paint so very fragile. My breaks became very quicky noisy. -
Axel
The cowboy bike is a piece of art - and you can use it every day. The service response is quick and you can feel that they love their product. I became a fan when I read about the bike but fell in love after the first ride. -

The bike has really changed my way of commuting to the office. Don’t use my car anymore whenever weather is ok and - after 20+ years - my commute to the office has turned into fun. Really surprising. But you have to start offering mudguards which don’t ruin the design of the bike and ideally also a stand. I cannot yet comment about quality, durability etc bc I only have the bike for a couple of weeks but if the bike continues to operate reliably, it was one of my best buys in a long time. -

Great design, stunning perfromance! Riding my cowboy makes me feel free... -

As a Dutchman I was in Antwerp in December 2018, I saw the cowboy in a shop window. As a (sports) bicycle enthusiast looking in, I recognized the beautiful design of a true 'naked bike'. My eyes fell on the two burning lamps. Huh, this is an E-Bike ... where is the battery? Walked inside. I discovered the battery and noticed that the bike up close is even more beautiful than I thought. Bit I did not take a test drive. I didn't want an E-bike at all. I'm still too young! Back in the Netherlands I regretted not having cycled. I was looking for a reason to buy this E-bike…. It became a ‘must have’ I went to work by car for 23 years, but of course I can also use the bicycle! Found a reason! 😊 Thanks to the belt I don't get dirty pants when I get on my bike with my suit. Would I really enjoy riding this bike? I contacted Cowboy via the chat. It seemed that I was able to take a test ride in Amsterdam. So I did: 5 minutes on this bike and I was already sold: how wonderful it rides. No gears, but you will be helped immediately when you want to shift. The sensors notice that and you get a boost. It runs very smoothly, the seat is good. Nice stiff frame, great looking tires and strong brakes. The bike is made so beautiful (look at the absence of welds). Modern operation thanks to the app. Pre-ordered! Waiting three months was a very long time. But I received the bike a few weeks ago. Since then I cycled almost daily to work. So cool! Really delicious! And I will certainly continue to do it! Great bike, great company vision and above all a beautiful and good bike. Did I mention beautiful? The most beautiful bike for me! I’m a Cowboy! Yihaa! -
Marc
Design, Quality, Speed and expirience! -
Robert
I was always searching for a bike like this! Now I got it and the searching is over! I highly recommand this bike! I love the simplicity and the natrual biking experience. -
Brecht
Perfect electric bike for the city. Lightweight, agile, intuitive assistance and a beautiful design -
Thomas
The first moment you're using your Cowboy is amazing, but there are many teething problems that shouldn't be in a second version of the bike.

Geneviève
Just wonderful to be literally gliding in the city, not struggling anymore for uphill rides while making sure I keep exercising. I promised myself to use my 🤠 for all work-related rides in Brussels. Only caveat so far is the lack of a mudguard - I fear the rainy autumn, and would love to have recommendations for fixing this. Thank you Cowboy! -
Andreas
I just love my cowboy. Product quality, the app connection and the pedal-assistance are just insane. Have been on a lot of bikes but this one is by far the best and makes my journeys to university, work or training to something i like forward to. Support service as well the best I have experienced from any product I bought until now. Keep up the great work and greatings from switzerland! -
Tuur
Perfect E-Bike. Only a pity there aren't more accessories available. Hopefully this will change in the near future. -
Jérémie
Cowboy is so fast and beautiful. I'm amazed each time I ride it. It really changed the way I comute, for the best of course! :D -
Ward
Fantastic bike, ideal for cruising the Ghent streets 😀👍 -
Julien
- pairing issues with Android - rattling rear wheel - pairing issues when connected with another bluetooth device (eg. headphones) - inconsistent map marker -
Pim
Easy to use. Great looks. Did 350 km on it in two weeks. -
Frank
Just cruising around... No goal, no intention... Just enjoying how smooth the "thing" rides me around... Across the city, across the fields, ... Just 100% pure excitement! -
Laurent
Well built, beautiful and powerfull bike. It seems that the sensor in the pedal understand what you want to do and pushes you with the right amount of electric help. It's amazing. The application is simple and intuitive. The only thing i'm waiting for are the mudgards ;-) -
Matthieu
This bike is awesome. I can cross Lille city way faster than before. The acceleration after a red light is super good. -
Erhan
I really like driving the bike. At the moment I'm mainly using it for longer trips (Mechelen - Brussel) the electric support during the trip is fantastic it really makes you enjoy your full bike trip. In the future I'll also use the bike more often for some shorter trips also during the colder seasons of the year. I'm already looking forward to this bike trips -
Alex
Amazing piece of product. Changed the way we travel across the city. Would love better tires though :) -
Michel
Easy, convenient and great looking city bike -
Tijs
Super easy system, slick and beautiful. Power given feels always just enough. Only downside, mudguards are a necessity in Belgium. Please release them! -
Nicolas
The bike has transformed the way I move around the city! Everytime I have to go somewhere, I am now looking forward for the ride to get there! The assistance is awesome and it feels like you are beating everyone else who is stuck sitting in their cars while you shift through traffic! Great ride! -
Guillaume-Emmanuel
The cowboy bike is stylish, quiet and provided a fantastic assistance. Cruising through town is so much fun, I just can't stop doing it! -
Patrick
Very easy to use and fun -
Hicham
Best bike I've ever owned. Easy as that 🤠 -
Ruben
Exchanged my car for a Cowboy - best decision ever! -
Cesar
Good bike, only struggle i found was with adjusting the belt and the connection with my phone. Otherwise amazing ridewise, acceleration and looks. -
Eric
The simplicity of the bike, the colour, the design and the management are tremendous! Just is missing in my view the possibility to refill the battery of the smartphone somewhere on the main battery of the bike ... 😉 -
Jarrid
Proud to be a cowboy! The team is very helpfull and reacts in less then a few minutes! -
Naomi
My Cowboy is a sleek, sexy machine. I chose it over other ebikes because it had that ‘woo hoo’ factor when riding vs. the others, that no matter the price or the features, felt like driving trucks in comarison to a nimble sports car. This is a young startup company and this is product #1. Although there are some specific things they may offer in the future which will be improvements on choice, options and may affect handling, I felt it was important to get support this start up and their vision. I love my eBike. -
Kevin
Mimalistic bike but everything you need to move trough the city -
Grégoire
Intuitive and easy tu use, does exactly what I hoped for: no more hard climbs, very helpful at starting off, light for an e-bike, and shamelessly design and elegant! Thrilled to have one 😊. Does really all what it claims to do. Amazing support from the team too! -
Richard
This bike is sooo much fun. Has transformed my dull cycle to work into an adrenaline fueled sprint. After sales service is fantastic. Would strongly recommend this bike. -
Sam
Great bike, it's a pleasure to ride it. Use it to go tot work. Enjoy every minute. Thanks! -
Jean
+ design + Quality of material + Speed + App + After sales + Project - accessories - suspension (shock absorbition) - anti-theft feature (embedded in bike) -
Claude
Some problems with the delivery service but otherwise absolutely happy with and excited about my Cowboy Bike. Already got a lot of questions and compliments from friends and colleagues. Simply Awesome Bike -
Loïc
How slow & boring my life was without my Cowboy... Best way to commute to work ⚡or enjoy a countryside ride 😌 -
Louis-Henri
Easy, fun, design! -
Benoit Ottevaere
Just fantastic -
Inge
Grest bike. It changed my life no longer stuck in trafic, no longer arriving sweating and in need of a shower at work! Only a little disappointed by the battery because in Brussels with my weight it doesn’t last for 50 km. But a fantastic bike anyway. -
Timo
Fast and good looking bike, no nonsense. -
Claude

Arthur
The bike is great! Good time will riding it. Even in the cold weather, I'm really excited to use it ;)
I didn't put 5* because there's always room for improvement :) -
Matthias
Simpel, fun to ride & beautiful design!
The lack of mudguards is annoying in bad weather conditions. -
Maarten
Life changer: improve health, lower frustration levels and enjoy the thrills of sitting on a rocket! -
Stijn
Great alternative for various car trips. Bike runs very smooth. The app shows all the info you need and you can easily act on the shown information.
Everything is very easy to use, even the bike assembly.
Great match between design, technology and daily use!
Whenever you have a question, Cowboy helps you out very quickly no matter who you contact. Fantastic teamwork! -
Eric
The battery lasted max 30KM from the start. I have now used the bike for one month and max loading capacity has dropped to 89% of full charge. max distance is now just above 25km on full charge. -
Daniel
Personnally I adore the bike. I was and still am totally charmed by its design, the looks, the brand and also the team around it. Living a bit more than 20 km south from the Brussels border (Brabant) and working at several spots in town, my total biking distance for a normal workday is about 70km (2x35km, charging @work :-). I know that I am an atypical Cowboy-Rider, given that I cover higher average distances than most users, when I ride it. Weak points therefore mainly consist in the absence of any suspension. The strongest point, aside from its sheer beauty is the lightweight. Although I still love the bike after a few months, I may hence conceed that the main target for the Cowboy maybe the city or more proximal suroundings. However if asked whether I would buy it again, the answer is a clear 'yes' :-) -
Robin
I am using the bike 3 times a week for a mixed urban/country circuit of 28km each way. It is actually saving me time compared to the car + bus that I otherwise have to take. Bike gives steady power when needed and is particularly pleasant on uphill. -
Nicolas
Cowboy allowed me to ditch my car & still get to work in the same amount of time while getting some exercise in. I love every minute on the bike! -
Patrick
Great bike, great driving experience, awesome looks. Simple and straightforward. -
Olivier
The Cowboy is a well conceived, well made and well working electric bike, that keeps it's website promises and delivers daily riding pleasure.
I've had much more expensive electric bikes, but this one is close to the zero-default in terms of conception and riding.
The main advantages I would point out are its weight and agility, the fantastic assistance of the motor, making every ride effortlessly enjoyable, the app interface user-friendliness and the frame geometry.
Ah, and, yes, the total absence of commands on the handlebars!!
So far, I've ""loaded"" my Cowboy with: raised handlebars, a ring (it's legally mandatory, guys...), suspended seat, fenders (curana for an awsome look), back rack with ortlieb brown bags, a tail light and a stand. It's now ready for my daily commutes in the city, all-year-long!
Thanks and kudos to the Cowboy Team! -

I love driving this bike. I got the cowboy in the beginning of July and drove about 800 km since. For commuting inside the city it is perfect for me, I live in a pretty hilly city and I do not care about the hills anymore. Yet the bike is not made for everybody, if you are looking for a bike to do longer weekend trips in your free time or have a pretty long commute, you might want to look for a bike with a bigger battery (500 Wh). But personally I can't imagine a better bike for commuting, especially for that price.
I tried to summarise some pros and cons:
Pros:
- Great, effortless riding
- No shifting necessary, one gear is absolutely sufficient inside the city (I actually love the fact that I do not need to hassle with multiple gears)
- Removable battery (this was mandatory for me)
- Stunning design
- Integrated lights
- Belt driven, so less maintenance necessary (and due to the hub motor on the rear wheel the belt should last a while)
- Disk brakes (even though I do not really like mineral oil disk brakes, but for this bike the brakes are totally acceptable)
Cons:
- Real-world range is somewhere between 35 and 40 km (definitely not 50), depending on your weight, speed and the landscape profile (for me this is totally fine, I do a maximum of 30 km a day)
- This is not a bike for long distances like weekend trips, due to the geometry of the bike and the hard saddle long distances may become uncomfortable
- For higher speeds a second (automatic) gear would be great
- Steep hills are a test of your patience as the electric motor clearly works at its limit (the trick is to pedal with the exact amount of force to let the motor work at its maximum without having to do real pedal work on your own - this makes you climb the hill slow but nearly effortless)
I would recommend the bike if you live inside the city and have a commute of up to 15 km one way (mine is 7 which I do in 20 minutes).
I would not recommend the bike if you are taller than 1,90 due to the geometry of the bike or if you want or have to travel long distances. -
Daan
The feeling of riding this bike is just great - I'm using it for my commute (2x20km), and the battery _just_ makes it (25km/h mode).
I've upgraded the saddle (gel) and added an adjustable handlebar stem and a lightweight carrier. I've only noticed one real annoyance so far: the front light is to ambient, and doesn't throw a far enough beam to light the road (esp. off-road) at night. I'will add a small led light on my handlebar to compensate... -
Johan
Extremely cool design, fantastic riding experience (even if you switch off the motor), robust, extremely customer-oriented service... tomorrow I will have biked my first 1000 km, in just 1,5 months. -
Pieter
The Tesla amongst e-bikes. Dead silent, no clunky gears, a carbon belt drive, sufficiently powerful for even the steepest climbes, frequent software updates and a very sexy look. People recognise the bike when you’re driving it. -
Nicolas
Light, easy, smart and cool. -
Max
Nice looking bike for regular drives (no offroad) Delivers what it promises on autonomy. very smooth assistance. -
Iain
Really cool to ride. Simple, light, very fast acceleration.
Good value! -
Erwin
Super cool !
