The future of urban commuting just got a whole lot cooler with the release of the Cowboy Cross & Cross ST, aptly dubbed the “Cybertruck of e-bikes.” Well, maybe ‘Curvaceous Cybertruck of e-bikes’ would be a better fit. This innovative ride combines cutting-edge technology with rugged design, delivering an unparalleled experience for city dwellers and off-road enthusiasts alike.

During my recent visit to Amsterdam, I had the privilege of getting hands-on experience with the Cowboy Cross. From bustling city streets to rugged off-road trails, this e-bike tackled every terrain with ease and finesse. What sets it apart? Let’s dive into the details.
Sleek Curves, Unrivalled Strength
Gone are the days of boxy, angular designs. The Cowboy boats sleek curves and rounded edges, setting it apart from the crowd. But don’t let its soft lines fool you; this e-bike is built to withstand the toughest of rides, with a sturdy frame that’s as resilient as it is stylish.
Performance Redefined
The Cowboy Cross isn’t just another e-bike; it’s a powerhouse on wheels. Equipped with a larger battery (540Wh) that’s 50% more the size of its siblings, this bike offers extended range (60–120 km) and improved performance. Whether you’re cruising uphill or navigating rough terrain, the Cowboy Cross delivers Adaptive Power that effortlessly adjusts to your riding needs.
Comfort Meets Durability
Say goodbye to bumpy rides and sore backs. If you live in cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, or Brussels, you know how bumpy a ride may get over the cobblestones and uneven pavements, but worry no more. The Cowboy Cross features integrated adjustable front fork and saddle suspension, providing a smooth and comfortable journey, even on the most uneven surfaces. Its fatter tires offer enhanced grip and stability, making it the ideal choice for urban commuters seeking a reliable and enjoyable ride.
Bold Colors, Lightweight Performance
Sporting a thicker frame and available in three striking colors, the Cowboy Cross exudes style and sophistication. From classic black to vibrant hues, there’s a color to suit every rider’s personality; Mushroom, Moss or Lava. Despite its robust build and larger battery, this e-bike remains surprisingly lightweight, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The Cowboy Cross weighs 27.9 kilograms, and the Cross ST weighs only 26.5 kilograms, including battery and integrated rear rack. Both are lighter than the Veloretti Ace/Ivy 2 and only a few kilograms heavier than the VanMoof S/A5. I bet there is no bike in this category that can match this weight.
Unleash the Fun with Live Challenges (app update)
Riding a Cowboy Cross in the wild promises much more fun. Live Challenges will boost your body’s potential, especially with Apple Watch and Health Integration. This is something its siblings will also take advantage of; Cowboy is bringing an exciting app update, which will enhance the biking experience, transforming the streets into playgrounds where riders can challenge themselves.
During my test ride of the Cowboy Cross in Amsterdam, while utilizing the new app, there was a moment. I’m confident that anyone witnessing it would agree that this update is truly worthwhile. Well, I couldn’t pause because I had to ride another 150 meters. :) This update will be available soon for the entire Cowboy family.
The Verdict
In a world where sustainability and convenience reign supreme, the Cowboy Cross stands out as a true game-changer. With its unparalleled performance, sleek design, and unmatched comfort, it’s no wonder why this e-bike is being hailed as the Cybertruck of its category. Your urban adventure awaits. Take it anywhere you like — whether it’s a sandy beach, the summit of a hill, or your beloved corner café — and enjoy the smooth ride.
