Riders in numerous locations throughout Europe<\/a> can now have their Cowboy ebikes repaired without ever leaving their couch. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through the Cowboy app, you can request a mechanic to come to your home and carry out services like repairs, general maintenance, and the installation of a child seat. The call-out fee starts at \u20ac69. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s imperative that customers are confident that when they invest in a Cowboy ebike, they can service it at a time and place that suits them best,\u201d said Cowboy founder and CTO Tanguy Goretti. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe realise that not everyone has the time, tools or technical knowledge to assemble accessories or service their ebikes themselves, so On-Demand is the perfect service for them,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cowboy has been trialling the so-called On-Demand service for a while, but has now expanded it to all parts of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. <\/span><\/p>\n

Riders in the capital cities of London, Paris, Vienna, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Rome are also covered. Oh and Glasgow and Milan, too.  <\/span><\/p>\n

The On-Demand service is meant to complement Cowboy Care, the company\u2019s  <\/span>\u20ac20-a-month <\/span>subscription maintenance service which covers 14 European cities including Amsterdam, Munich, Brussels, Paris, and London. <\/span><\/p>\n

For anyone who lives far from a repair shop with the expertise to service these complex bicycles or who doesn\u2019t want to pay a monthly fee, I\u2019m sure the option to call a mechanic to your doorstep is pretty attractive.  <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest offering from Cowboy, which has seen significant growth since it was founded in 2017. The startup even managed to reach <\/span>profitability<\/span><\/a> last September. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s at least a one-up from VanMoof, the ebike darling that <\/span>went bankrupt<\/span><\/a> last year following huge losses in excess of <\/span>\u20ac80mn a year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cowboy \u2014 whose premium, tech-enabled bicycles are not unlike those of VanMoof \u2014 has pointed to a couple of reasons for why it, unlike its rival, has managed to stay afloat amid a generally <\/span>tough time<\/span><\/a> for ebike startups. <\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, the company makes and assembles its bikes in Europe rather than in Taiwan, which reduces supply chain shocks. Secondly, Cowboy\u2019s bikes can be repaired at third-party shops instead of only at branded stores, helping it to cut costs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just hope that with new offerings like On-Demand, Cowboy isn\u2019t biting off more than it can chew and bringing its hopes for long-term viability to a grinding halt. <\/span><\/p>\n
