Segway is preparing to expand its modest but growing e-bike portfolio with the launch of an all-new model called Myon, a commuter-focused electric bicycle that aims to bridge traditional bicycle styling with future-facing safety technology. The bike is scheduled to make its official debut at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in early 2026.
Unlike Segway’s existing moto-inspired Xyber and low-step Xafari, the Myon shifts toward a more conventional bicycle silhouette. The company positions it as an everyday e-bike designed for both daily commuting and relaxed leisure riding, a clear move to attract riders who prefer classic bike aesthetics without sacrificing modern technology.
Nick Howe, head of e-bikes at Segway, described the Myon as a versatile platform for riders of all experience levels. According to him, the goal was to create an e-bike that feels just as natural for first-time users as it does for seasoned cyclists, while subtly integrating technologies inspired by the automotive industry.
Rear-Facing Radar Brings Auto Safety to Two Wheels
One of the most notable features teased ahead of launch is rear-facing millimeter-wave radar, a safety system more commonly associated with modern cars. Segway’s RearView Radar is designed to warn riders of approaching vehicles without requiring them to divert their gaze from the road ahead.
The system monitors a 150-degree field of view, with detection reaching up to 230 feet behind the rider and spanning 20 feet in width. It supports multiple safety alerts, including:
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
- Lane Change Warning (LCW)
- Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
When the rider activates turn signals while an active blind-spot or lane-change alert is present, the system increases the frequency of the warning to prompt added caution. Riders will also be able to customize alert types and sensitivity levels via the Segway Mobility App.
According to Segway, the technology delivers situational awareness similar to “having eyes in the back of your head,” allowing cyclists to stay informed without shifting attention from forward traffic.
Radar as a Paid Upgrade, Not Standard
Rear-facing radar isn’t entirely new in the e-bike world, with brands like Specialized already offering similar systems in its premium Turbo lineup. However, Segway will offer its radar unit as a paid optional upgrade rather than a standard feature on the Myon.
Pricing for both the Myon and the RearView Radar add-on will be revealed on January 6, when the bike officially goes on sale. For context, Segway’s radar offers shorter range than Garmin-powered systems found on some premium e-bikes, about 230 feet versus roughly 460 feet on certain Specialized models, but it still represents a major safety step for Segway’s commuter-focused lineup.
A Strategic Expansion in a Competitive Market
Segway’s push into a radar-equipped commuter e-bike comes at a time when the global e-bike market is becoming more crowded, technologically complex, and increasingly expensive. Despite these challenges, the brand continues to invest in accessible, technology-driven electric mobility.
By combining a traditional bicycle look with forward-looking automotive safety features, the Myon positions itself as a bridge between the past and future of urban cycling. If Segway executes on its promise of affordability and practical innovation, the Myon could become a compelling option for riders seeking everyday utility with an added layer of digital awareness.
With its official unveiling just around the corner, the Myon signals Segway’s intent to remain a serious player in the evolving world of personal electric transportation not just with scooters and moto-styled e-bikes, but now with a tech-enhanced commuter platform built for the modern city.
