@@WattsNotGas yea the C4 (classic) is a style beast... I drove hundrets of kilometers in hamburg and everyday people asked me "whats that? Electric? Brand?" But the Cross, is the next step... c3 and c4 drivers want a "mountainbike near" new version and that's it.
Thanks for the review. Pretty rare at the moment. Do you think this bike without gears does make sense for hilly terrain or even mountain areas as well? Like the new concept but without a proper gears shifting system it feels a bit unready for me. 🤷🏼♂️
July / August is when you'll see more reviews pop up. I'll be testing it more in depth. Hills, depends on how hilly. The gears isn't the issue, the built in gears and tech do the job. It's the rearwheel 45 Nm hub that might be a bit too weak for real hilly terrain. I would go for a 60+ Nm mid-hub if you are in mountain area.
@@WattsNotGas Hei, thanks for your response and suggestion. Oh, I did not know that there are built in gears. I could not find those information anywhere. Really sad with the motor though. 😐 Maybe we have to wait two more years or so to see some improvements. 🫣
Did you feel the 28kg of the bike while driving or the assistance was powerful enough to make it lighter? I like the bike but I am afraid about this increase of the general weight… compared to the cruiser model.
Sorry if unclear, there are no actual gears - it is indeed the Adaptive Power. I'll make a video on it once I get ahold of a Cross for a complete review.
waiting for mine... delivery in july 🙃
already had the C4 with leasing and i loved it 👍
C4 was great. A shame they are ending that line (for now).

@@grueneauen The motor is ok, sufficiently powerfull for most cities, but not mountains. I don't think that's what it's been built for.

The assistance is more than powerfull enough. However, without support its more difficult now due to the extra weight.
@@WattsNotGas Is there a kind of "boost button" like the Vanmoof one?
do you think it's suitable for longer commuters? 14km ish?
Oh yeah for sure, 14 km is not that much!
Hi, I can’t find anything about gears on the cowboy website. Did you mean adaptive power? Or are there actually gears on the cross? Thanks in advance!
