Anton in a nutshell:
- Length: 180 cm
- Cycling distance: 5 to 10 km
- If you have a computer problem, no matter how big or small, our IT Support Engineer Anton is your go-to man!
- He’s a real city dweller.
- Long-distance cycling is not his thing, but over the last four months, he has cycled an impressive 1,600 kilometres on his Cowboy over the many cobblestones in Ghent.
- He traded in his company car and motorbike for an o2o lease bike and guess what: he has absolutely no regrets!
Why did Anton go for the Cowboy Classic Performance?
“Since I live in a big city and use my bike mainly for commuting and other trips within the city, I obviously use my bicycle primarily for small journeys averaging 5 to 10 kilometres. Every now and then, I do a slightly longer ride of 20 kilometres. So a speed pedelec wouldn’t be right for me, but I obviously do enjoy pedal assistance up to 25 km/h. So it didn’t take me long to decide to go for an electric bike.”
After I tested the Cowboy bike of one of my colleagues, it was a no-brainer: it had to be a Cowboy, and it was.
“But why a Cowboy then? There were a number of things that really made the Cowboy stand out for me. After I tested the Cowboy bike of one of my colleagues, it was a no-brainer: it had to be a Cowboy, and it was.”
Below is a summary of what Anton finds so great about the Cowboy 4:
- It is a light bike (18.9 kg) that you can easily lift up to store it away, or take with you by car or on a train.
- The carbon drive belt means it’s a maintenance-free bike, and you don’t have any hassle with lubricating a chain.
- There are no manual gears, so you can just set off easily from a standstill.
- The built-in lights ensure that you are always well illuminated when riding, and that your lights won’t get stolen.
- There are no loose brake cables on the bike that could get tangled up.
- Thanks to the narrow handlebars, you can easily get the bike through a door, into the car or into a crowded bike rack.
- The built-in Quad Lock holder means you can use your mobile phone as a navigation tool.
- You don’t need to stand your bike next to a wall socket in order to charge it, thanks to the easily removable battery.
- The optional luggage rack with panniers means that I can carry a reasonable amount of equipment and shopping.
- And finally, it’s a looker: the matte black finish is understated yet stylish.

How satisfied is Anton with his steel horse?
“I am very satisfied! In terms of mechanics or software, I haven’t had any problems, the bike just keeps going, every time. The pedal assistance is also intuitive and does what it needs to. I think the only downside to this bike is the seat’s racing position, especially for longer distances. It’s tiring for my wrists and hands, and unfortunately, you can’t raise the handlebars of this bike. Shorter people will find the racing position less of a problem, but taller individuals should look at the Cowboy Cruiser instead.”

Would you choose this bike again?
“I would definitely choose a Cowboy again! But due to the racing position of the seat, I would go for the Cowboy Cruiser. I find the Cruiser just a little more comfortable for someone of my height.”
