Segway, known for its self-balancing scooters, is expanding its e-bike lineup with the introduction of the Myon model. This new e-bike, set to debut at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, is designed to cater to a wide range of riders, from beginners to experienced cyclists. The Myon features a traditional bicycle look, in contrast to Segway’s existing e-bike offerings, and is targeted at everyday commuting and leisure rides.
The standout feature of the Myon is its rear-facing radar system, a technology borrowed from the auto industry to enhance rider safety. The millimeter wave radar provides cyclists with real-time alerts about approaching vehicles, their direction, and proximity, improving overall situational awareness without the need to divert attention from the road ahead.
“It’s like having eyes in the back of your head, helping you stay vigilant of your surroundings while focusing on what’s ahead,” said Segway’s Head of E-Bikes, Nick Howe. The radar boasts a 150-degree field of view, further enhancing rider safety on the road.
