Cowboy, the brand behind some of the slickest electric bikes on the road, is making moves. Cowboy had a busy year in 2024, with the launch of the Cross e-bike and updates to its Connect software. The brand's AdaptivePower2.0 tech also saw a performance upgrade last year.

Now, the Brussels-based company has announced it’s shifting bike assembly to France in a bid to improve production quality, speed up delivery times, and make customer service smoother than a freshly paved cycle path.

This is a big win for Cowboy riders (and the planet) because nearshoring means less transportation emissions, higher-quality craftsmanship, and – most importantly – getting your bike faster.

The new move sees Cowboy team up with ReCycles, a French bike manufacturer with over 30 years of expertise. Having built bikes for the likes of Peugeot, ReCycles is now pivoting to e-bikes, ensuring Cowboy’s high-tech two-wheelers get the expert treatment they deserve.

Adrien Roose, CEO and Co-founder of Cowboy, summed it up: “Bringing our assembly to France marks a turning point. This move strengthens our commitment to quality while allowing us to scale efficiently to meet demand.”
