# Experiential Next-Gen Electric Bikes The Cowboy Bike Offers High-Tech Features By Joey Haar | Published 2018-04-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-bike References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/cowboy-2) & [cowboy.bike](https://www.cowboy.bike/) Electric bikes offer lots of benefits over cars or even mopeds and scooters, but the Cowboy bike aims to make electric biking more amenable to those who already bike on a regular basis. While pedal assistance is certainly a selling point, the bike is full of technological features that drastically up the convenience of the vehicle over a traditional, "analog" bicycle. One of the most impressive parts of the Cowboy bike is its onboard navigation. The bike comes standard with a touchscreen at the center of the handlebars, giving riders the same mapping that drivers are accustomed to. That dashboard also tracks rider data to give users up-to-date, accurate information about how far they ride, what their average speed is, and more. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think that such a tech-heavy bike would be a target for thieves, but the Cowboy bike also comes with remote locking and unlocking through the aforementioned dashboard, making it even more secure than a traditional ride. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Experiential Next-gen Electric Bikes:** The trend of incorporating high-tech features and onboard navigation in electric bikes enhances the riding experience and convenience for users. - **Pedal Assistance for Regular Bikers:** The trend of offering pedal assistance in electric bikes provides an attractive option for those who already bike on a regular basis. - **Secure and Tech-enabled Electric Bikes:** The trend of integrating remote locking and unlocking features in electric bikes improves security and reduces the risk of theft. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electric Bike Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the electric bike industry have the opportunity to capitalize on the demand for experiential next-gen electric bikes with high-tech features. - **Technology and Navigation:** Companies in the technology and navigation industry can explore partnerships and innovation opportunities to provide onboard navigation systems for electric bikes. - **Security Solutions:** The security industry can leverage the trend of secure and tech-enabled electric bikes to develop products and services that cater to the specific needs of riders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dutch-Style Cruiser eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-cruiser.md) - [Functional No-Frills E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-cross.md) - [Comfort-Focused Dutch E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-1.md) - [Tech-Enabled E-Bike Customizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-connect.md) - [High-Tech Carbon E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia.md) - [Smart Connected E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delfast-top-3.md) - [App-Controlled Custom E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-electric-bike.md) - [Outdoor Adventure-Focused Smart E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-ebike1.md) - [AI-Enhanced Smart Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aienhanced-smart-bikes.md)
