Who we are
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, Cowboy creates the world’s most connected electric bike for urban riders. We continue to transform the bike and mobility industries, from point of sale to point of service. Our mission is to build a better bike, create a better self, and leave a better world.
Cowboy now has customers in more than 2,500 towns and cities across Europe, getting close to 100.000 bikes sold. Cowboy is the winner of the Eurobike 2017, the Red Dot Bicycle Design Award 2018, the Red Dot Best of the Best award for product design in 2019, 2021 and 2024, one of TIME Magazine's "Best Inventions" of 2022, and the Wallpaper* Smart Space Award for Most Revolutionary Personal Transport in 2023.
Like many companies in the micro-mobility space, Cowboy has gone through a period of significant change in 2025. Now in 2026, we are entering a new chapter with our new majority shareholder, Rebirth.
This phase is about strengthening our foundations: the product, our processes, and our teams.
