The Belgian brand Cowboy unveils a new electric bike located halfway between its current Cowboy 4 and Cowboy 4 ST: here is the Cruiser, available from July 3 at a price of 2990 euros.

Launched in 2017, the Cowboy brand has managed to make a name for itself and a place in the connected electric bike market. In 2022, the Belgian company marketed its fourth generation of VAE, the famous Cowboy 4 and Cowboy 4 ST. They are now joined by a third version called Cruiser, the brand tells us.

This Cruiser is located halfway between the two current models: it uses the closed frame of the first, but opts for the more curved handlebars of the second. “This new e-bike was developed following feedback from the urban community of Cowboy, who requested a more upright, Dutch-style riding position to improve posture and visibility on the road.“says the company.

A smooth evolution

Cowboy also specifies that it has installed a new, wider saddle that is supposed, logically, to promote comfort thanks to a larger seating surface.

There is also talk of a higher gear ratio.to allow a more relaxed driving“. For its part, the raised and curved handlebar tends to favor a more natural position of the hands. For the rest, nothing changes. Here, it is above all a question of a smooth evolution above all centered on the format of the biclou.

This Cowboy Cruiser thus uses the technical specifications of its friends: removable battery whose capacity has not been specified – we imagine that it is identical to the others -, carbon belt, hydraulic disc brakes, mudguards and anti-skid tires. – 47 mm thick puncture. Its weight reaches 19.3 kg, more or less the same value as the Cowboy 4 ST.

By the way, don’t call the Cowboy 4 and Cowboy 4 ST that way anymore: their names are changing.

Quadlock and Google Maps on the menu

The technological guarantee of the brand obviously remains relevant: the cockpit thus integrates a quadlock support and a wireless charge. The perfect opportunity to put down your phone and take advantage of the latest feature of the Cowboy app: a navigation service based on Google Maps. A real plus.

“The new Cruiser will be available for testing in stores and through its convenient network of test riders, bookable on the website“, concludes the brand. As a reminder, the manufacturer aims to recruit 300 new partners in 60 cities of the Old Continent by the end of 2023.

Testing and directly buying a Cowboy in one of the partner shops will thus be possible. The cities of Paris, Lille, Nancy, Lyon and Marseille are currently concerned in France – after-sales service only for the latter two.

As for the price, the Cruiser aligns with its cousins: 2990 euros, for availability from July 3, 2023.
