TRANSMISSION
The Cowboy 3 e-bike uses a new single-speed automatic transmission to enable smooth gear changes and user-friendly drive. The new version also features a Gates carbon belt drive that, according to the manufacturer, offers maintenance-free clean ride up to 30,000 kilometers.
BATTERY
The removable 360-Wh battery that is perfectly integrated into the frame.

SPEED
The maximum speed is the 25 km/h (15 mph) prescribed in Germany. The manufacturer specifies the maximum range as 70 km (43 miles). This is made possible by the removable 360-Wh battery that is perfectly integrated into the frame. The frame is made entirely of aluminum, which means that the e-Bike, even with a battery, only weighs 16.9 kg.
BRAKING
When it comes to braking, the start-up uses Tektro discs that are hydraulically controlled. Probably the biggest innovation in hardware is the possibility of attaching fenders specially made for the Cowboy 3. This enables the Belgians to drive in the rain without the tires throwing dirt from the road onto the driver.
SMARTPHONE CONTROL
Everything is controlled from a smartphone application; the Cowboy 3 does not have a control screen. The users not only have the opportunity to view traditional information (speeds, range, various parameters) but also to start navigation and control the lighting systems. The brake lights and the headlights are – just like the previous model – integrated into the frame.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Cowboy also integrates the new bike with numerous new functions. This includes automatic unlocking (when you approach the bike), theft alert to be alerted if the bike is moving, accident detection (to call an emergency contact) as well as some information on the quality of air.
PRICE
The Cowboy 3 is now available in the Belgian company’s in-house online shop. The only two options when buying are the choice of the fender and the color (there are three – black and two shades of gray). The price is €2,290 (about US$2,600).
