E-bikes are expensive, ugly, heavy and difficult to use? That may be true occasionally - but certainly not with Cowboy 3, which GIGA editor Stefan accompanied for a few days in the urban jungle of Berlin.

Cowboy 3 in the test: top design and decent equipment.

Justified question: why do you even need an e-bike? Well, keywords such as incline, acceleration, headwind and luggage come into question as arguments. Even in flat Berlin, a bike with an electric motor can be quite useful. But see for yourself, here in the video:

The Cowboy 3 is a “smart and networked design bike with electric drive”, as the Belgian manufacturer describes it. Indeed, the design is successful and looks completely modern - anyone who likes a businesslike, minimalist look could fall in love with the Cowboy 3 at first glance. Noticeable feature: the seat tube is particularly wide, as the exchangeable battery is located here.

In terms of price, it is in the midfield at 2,290 euros. In return, you get an aluminum frame, an aluminum fork, a carbon fiber belt instead of a boring bicycle chain, powerful hydraulic brakes and stylish rims with a metal alloy. The bicycle lighting prescribed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is also included in the scope of delivery of the Cowboy 3 but must be attached additionally. The already integrated lighting does not meet the legal requirements in Germany.

Reflectors at the front and back are also mandatory according to the road traffic regulations and these are also included by the manufacturer. There are mudguards - but in the end, we are missing a luggage rack and a bike stand on Cowboy 3. Overall good equipment, but still expandable in places.

Battery and driving behavior.

The elongated battery can be easily removed (secured by a lock) and is fully charged in around 3.5 hours with the 100-watt power supply. Wear is of course also an issue here. After 500 charging cycles, according to the manufacturer, 70 percent of the original operating range should still remain. A replacement battery currently costs 400 euros and is available directly from the manufacturer. Two integrated torque and speed sensors diligently collect driving data. These are used to automatically control the 250 watt rear hub motor. The maximum torque is 30 Newton meters.

The Cowboy 3 has a range of up to 70 km, at the 25 km / h assistance speed that is usual for pedelecs.

The Cowboy 3 is comparatively light at 16.9 kilograms. Some e-bikes weigh almost 25 kilos - that makes a difference in everyday life.

Cowboy 3: The real potential only shows the app.

The full range of functions of the Cowboy 3 can only be seen on the mobile phone. After you have familiarised yourself with it, you can call up all kinds of useful features in the associated app: Unlock the e-bike, switch the lights on and off, check the charge level - and these are just the basics. In addition, Cowboy 3 can be tracked via GPS, which should spoil thieves' joy.

The smartphone app is stylishly designed, but not particularly intuitive to use. Perhaps one day an update will bring us stronger contrasts and a better overview. Speaking of updates: the bike itself can also be further optimized by the manufacturer using software, for example fine-tuning the motor control or smart features such as automatic fall detection. The Cowboy app is currently only available in English, but the team in Brussels is currently working on a German, French and Dutch version.


Cowboy 3 in the test: our conclusion.

The Cowboy 3 can stand out from the wide range of e-bikes. If you like it carefree, automatic and digital, you get a cleverly put together package that consists of half a bike and half software. This is a route that more providers will definitely take in the near future. The Cowboy 3 drives ahead here and shows us what is possible.
