Business Developer & Account Manager, Flanders, Belgium

Who we are

In 2018, Cowboy introduced the most beautiful, simple, and connected electric bike for urban riders. With a vision to be the ideal mode of transport, Cowboy has transformed the electric bike to be a fully connected ecosystem that our riders experience every day. Over time, the cultural impact we imagine is one of creating the living city - urban environments that are more mindful of us and the way we want to move and more sustainable for all its inhabitants.

We are a disrupter in the market with ambitious goals, winning Red-Dot awards in 2018, 2019, and 2021. We enhance the riding experience by unifying intelligent technology, delightful design, and meticulous customer service. Our mission is to become the most desirable micro-mobility company in Europe & US by 2025.

In May 2021, Cowboy launched its fourth model, introducing a new frame with a wireless phone charging feature. Our bikes, on-demand test rides, and repair services are available in more than 10 European countries and our bikes are available across the U.S.A. In January 2022, Cowboy raised $80 Million of funding from international investors led by HCVC and Siam Capital with continued support from previous investors Index and Tiger Global in the Series C round.

A Cowboy is someone with the courage, despite their fears, to follow their own intuition and to move their own way. Courage is the human emotion shared among our riders and with us as a brand.

A new electric bike for urban riders.With electric bikes traditionally viewed as expensive, cumbersome and poorly designed, Brussels-based Cowboy is reinventing the category by blending design elegance with affordability and technology that connects owners to their bikes through a mobile app, featuring a secure key, live stats, and GPS tracking.Why become a Cowboy? Move around your city easily without breaking a sweat. Cowboy makes every trip enjoyable and efficient. The intelligent motor-assistance system has built-in sensor technology, measuring speed and torque. This technology adjusts intuitively to pedalling style and force, delivering an added boost of motor-assisted speed at key moments: when you start pedalling, when you accelerate, or go uphill. A battery that gives riders the freedom to roam for 50km, and takes just 2.5 hours to fully charge. This battery is integrated into the frame under the saddle and is easily removable. Alongside design and efficiency, safety is Cowboy’s top priority. The electric bike has integrated front and rear lights, as well as a built-in brake light that lights up when the hydraulic brakes are used. The bike and battery together weigh in at 16kg, which makes this Cowboy one of the lightest electric bikes on the market. The Cowboy app has on-board navigation so commuters can get to their destination even faster and more easily, an on/off button so only the rightful owner can unlock their bike and a data dashboard that, among other things, tracks speed. Founded in 2017 by start-up entrepreneurs Adrien Roose Karim Slaoui and Tanguy Goretti, Cowboy is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.Follow Cowboy on Instagram @Cowboy_HQ, on Twitter @Cowboy_HQ, on Facebook @CowboyHQ, and find more information at www.cowboy.bike
