When the ebike can\u2019t power you past 25km\/h, the racing-style posture of the vehicle isn\u2019t so useful.<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, it\u2019d be cool to have a bike that puts you in a slightly more vertical posture. I realize that I live in Amsterdam though, so I\u2019m definitely biased towards this style of riding. I\u2019m sure people in other cities would feel differently.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the last issue I have with the Cowboy 4 is the price.<\/p>\n<p>For an ebike that has hundreds of custom elements, it feels thrifty to say that it costs too much \u2014 but here we are. At\u00a0\u20ac2,490 (roughly $3,000) it\u2019s a nose above a perfect price.<\/p>\n<p>If it sold for closer to \u20ac2,000 (around $2,400), it wouldn\u2019t even be a question whether this is the ebike you should buy. Again, I get\u00a0<em>why<\/em> it costs what it does, but I wish it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s also a close race between Cowboy and VanMoof. It feels as though each time one releases a new vehicle, they edge in front of their competitor \u2014 and the Cowboy 4 is no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, this is my favorite ebike on the market.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a certainty that some may prefer the VanMoof S3, but, for me, the removable battery and smoother operation of the Cowboy 4 means it edges the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the latest ebike from Cowboy does almost everything right. It seems as though the company has genuinely listened to consumer feedback and made a vehicle that shows dozens of small improvements.<\/p>\n<p>It may not be perfect, but damn, it\u2019s getting pretty close.
