Adaptive Power 2.0

Super. Natural.

Adaptive Power 2.0

With AdaptivePower™ technology, your bike thinks for itself. Encounter any resistance on the road, and it instantly adapts to what's around you. Gain superhuman strength just when you need it – and experience the most natural ride feel ever.

Version 2.0

New 2024 update

Since 2023, AdaptivePower has been making hills feel flat, heavy loads feel weightless and headwinds a breeze. Thanks to this update, you can now tackle hills 50% steeper with no extra pedal power – and when riding on the flat it can save you 10% extra battery power. 

Science. Not fiction.

Technology

Our unique end-to-end hardware plus software offering is what makes Cowboy different to any other bike on the market.

How it works

Torque Sensor

The torque and cadence sensor relays ultra-precise data 200 times per second to measure the force applied on the pedal in Newton meters as well as their exact rate of rotation.

  • Measurement range 200Nm maximum
  • Calculations 200 per second
  • Version 2.0 2.0 2024

Motor Controller

Calibrated in-house by our engineers, the motor controller continuously analyses the electrical power output of the rear-hub motor to provide the rider with the optimal level of assistance at all times.

  • Torque 45Nm maximum
  • Adjustments 1000 per second
  • Version 2.0 2.0 2024

Operating System

This is where the magic happens. Data from the controller and sensor are combined in the comm module using a unique algorithm to create the AdaptivePower ride feel.

  • Built-in GPS device
  • Algorithm executions 20 per second
  • Version 2.0 2.0 2024
