Like many premium electric rides, Cowboy’s e-bikes make short commutes easier, especially those involving hills or a lot of stop-start traffic. Its latest bike is an attempt to address another challenge: comfort. The Cowboy Cross is the company\u2019s first \u201call-road\u201d model, with thicker, bigger tires, seat suspension, inverted fork suspension and a substantially bigger battery for more extended trips\u2014or simply fewer trips to the charger.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a substantially different offering from Cowboy, which previously aimed its products at European cities with established cycling communities and infrastructure. With the Cross, the addition of a rear rack fused to the frame and an expanded range of 120km (in ideal conditions) both mean it\u2019s designed for more involved trips beyond a simple jaunt around your neighborhood.<\/p>\n
With that larger battery and suspension, the Cross ST weighs 26.5kg \u2013 over 58 pounds \u2013 more than the company\u2019s <\/a> and C4 models, while the standard Cross is even heavier at 27.9kg. It\u2019s a substantial e-bike. Once again, you can choose between step-over and step-through frames, and the Cross will launch in three colors: dark green, dark brown and black. All of them have an almost-satin finish, and the company has changed up the paint it uses to make it more resistant to scratches and grazes.<\/p>\n
