Segway has revealed two new electric bikes, the Myon and Muxi, promising to “lower the barrier to entry and make cycling genuinely accessible for everyone”.
Both bikes appear more conventional than the brand’s previous offerings, but use Segway's Intelligent Ride System.
This system includes electronic shifting, automatic lights and advanced security features, including Apple Find My and AirLock, and a new Lost Mode that enables you to disable the ebikes remotely.
Alongside the bikes, Segway has announced a new range of accessories.
This includes the Xiro Dropper Post, which senses when riders are slowing to a stop and lowers automatically, as well as a rearview radar.
There is only one spec level per bike, with the Muxi priced at $1,699.99 and the Myon at $1,999.99.
Segway Myon
The Myon features a step-through frame design that integrates some innovative features.
Segway has equipped the bike with electronic shifting, despite the low cost.
This sees easy-to-press +/- buttons on the handlebar, connected to a proprietary servo control unit mounted on the seatstay, which then operates a cable-actuated Shimano Cues derailleur.
The brand says this keeps the cable length minimal, reducing wear, and enables shifting to be fine-tuned in the app.
The Myon also benefits from automatic lights, which increase or decrease output depending on the surrounding environment.
It also integrates indicators and brake lights to the rear of the bike, helping to keep other road users aware of your intentions.
A 500W hub motor, combined with a 722W battery, powers the bike, which is said to provide 85Nm of torque and an 80-mile range.
Segway Muxi
The Muxi features a stylish, borderline retro design that is said to offer utility and versatility.
The bike features a 750W hub motor and a 716W battery, and uses a simpler, singlespeed, direct-drive setup.
Segway says the bike has good cargo-carrying capabilities, offering a Passenger Kit that includes a seat, foot pegs and wheel guards.
To help in this respect, the bike features a Hill Start Assist function to prevent rollback when starting on an incline, Hill Descent Control for confident descending and reduced brake wear, and Regenerative Braking for improved efficiency.
It also features a Traction Control System, which detects wheelspin and modulates power to help keep riders in control.
