Cowboy, the design driven electric bike company, has hit an impressive £3.6 million with five days of its crowdfunding still to go. The maker of the world’s best connected e-bike has funded 306% of its original target of £1.2m which was reached in just 12 minutes, making it one of Crowdcube’s most successful mobility tech campaigns.
Cowboy has extended its raise to 14th January; up to then the public can invest via Crowdcube for as little as £17, with £1,027 being the average investment to date. Potential investors can find out more here.

“With only five days to go we invite other investors to join us as we continue our journey to transform urban mobility in an intuitive, modern and stylish manner.”
