It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Anyone have any experience shipping a Cowboy e-bike to the states?

Could you post a link to exactly what ebike this is?

Here's their US website: https://us.cowboy.com/

Looks like they aren't available in the US but they are planning on entering the market: Probably worth waiting or buying/making another similar bike.

But surely some other person has already found a way. I don’t wanna wait I want it now lol

Import it or get someone who lives where they sell them to import it for you if you don't care about the money or official support/repair.

I didn't even know you couldn't buy them here, but I would imagine you'd have to pay a VAT tax or something if you had to import from Europe.

I’d love to pay some extra tax if it meant I was shipped a bike, but I don’t know how to do that

Try contacting the company directly and ask

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I did try that and was unsuccessful, hence this post ha

Looks like patience or knowing/trusting someone who lives in an area they do sell in to help you import it are your only options.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I wonder if there are any resellers that would ship it for me. I’ll revisit this post if I’m successful.

Maybe... Good luck!
