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.

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.

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
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.
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!
Could you post a link to exactly what ebike this is?
Maybe this?
Yeah, that’s the company.
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.
