Cowboy 4

比利时 Cowboy 公司的目标是借助设计和技术,减少城市的汽车使用量,提供一种更加环保和放松的出行方式。这家初创公司推出了第四款电动自行车,不仅将自行车重新定义为一种优雅的生活方式和休闲的出行方式,还推出了一系列全面的骑行服务。  这些服务包括:在发生故障时通过实时聊天获得帮助、盗窃警报、自动开锁,和通过应用程序进行 GPS 跟踪,以及用于通知紧急联系人的碰撞检测软件。无论骑手遇到何种情形,他们都会得到多方面的支持和保护。在美学角度,这款电动自行车外观流畅、纯粹,令人瞩目,没有焊接接头、按钮或齿轮。所有缆线皆无缝地穿过后下叉和车框,而所有螺钉和螺母都设计与车架齐平。电机对骑手在踏板上施加的力做出直观的反应,并使用算法,计算任何给定时刻所需的功率。其结果确保,功率和速度精确适应骑手,无论平原还是丘陵区域,骑手皆可舒适、可持续和高效地抵达目的地。  其他新功能包括:更宽的防刺穿轮胎,即使在崎岖不平的街道上,也能应对自如,内置 GPS 控制导航,并有业界的新型无线充电座集成在 Cowboy 4 两款型号的把立中。

The goal of the Belgian company Cowboy is to free cities of cars with the help of design and technology, offering a more environmentally friendly and relaxed alternative of transportation. With their new e-bike, this start-up company presents its fourth model that not only redefines cycling as an elegant lifestyle and casual form of mobility, but also introduces an array of comprehensive services to cycling. These services include getting help via live chat in the event of a breakdown, theft alert, automatic unlocking and GPS tracking via app, as well as crash detection software for notifying an emergency contact. Whatever happens to the riders, they are given versatile support and protection. Aesthetically, the e-bike catches the eye with its clear, purist appearance without welding joins, buttons or gears. All cables are seamlessly routed through the chainstay and frame, while all screws and nuts are designed to be flush to the frame. The motor reacts intuitively to the force with which the rider pedals and uses algorithms to calculate the required power at any given moment. The result is power and speed that are precisely adapted to the rider and with which the e-bike brings riders to their destinations comfortably, sustainably and efficiently in both flat and hilly areas. Other new features include wider, puncture-proof tyres suitable even for bumpy streets, built-in navigation via GPS control and the industry’s new wireless-charging cockpit integrated into the stem of both Cowboy 4 versions.
