Segway, a brand historically known for its quirky personal transporters, is making a serious and calculated push into the performance electric mobility market. At CES 2026, the company has shifted its focus from gimmicks to grounded, high-tech transportation solutions, announcing a trio of new electric two-wheelers designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of riders. The headline-grabber is the Xaber 300, a proper electric dirt bike aimed at off-road enthusiasts, but it's joined by two more accessible e-bikes and a suite of innovative safety accessories. This launch signals Segway's ambition to be a major player in the evolving landscape of personal electric vehicles, blending advanced technology with practical, user-friendly design.
The Xaber 300: A Serious Electric Dirt Bike Enters the Arena
The most exciting announcement from Segway's CES booth is undoubtedly the Xaber 300, an electric dirt bike that marks a significant departure from the company's previous, more stylized offerings like the Xyber. While full technical specifications such as battery capacity, exact motor power, and range are being held back for a launch later in Spring/Summer 2026, Segway has revealed several compelling features. The bike will offer three distinct power modes, designed to mimic the performance of 150cc, 200cc, and 300cc gasoline-powered dirt bikes. This allows a single bike to grow with a rider's skill level, eliminating the need for multiple physical bikes. For experienced riders, a virtual electronic clutch aims to replicate the tactile feedback and control of a traditional mechanical clutch, a crucial feature for precise power management in challenging off-road conditions. The Xaber 300 also includes a selectable traction control system for different terrains and, notably, built-in parental controls via a companion app. These controls allow guardians to set top speed limits and create geofenced riding areas, a direct response to growing public concerns about teen riders on powerful electric vehicles.
Key Technology & Safety Features Across New Segway Lineup
- Intelligent Ride System: Standard on Myon & Muxi. Includes GPS/FindMy tracking, geofencing, and remote "Lost Mode" disable.
- TurboTuned Algorithm 2.0: (Myon) Coordinates motor and battery for smooth power delivery based on pedal force, cadence, and terrain.
- Electronic Shifting: (Myon) Proprietary system with handlebar controls and app-based fine-tuning, compatible with standard derailleurs.
- Stability & Safety Tech: (Muxi) Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, regenerative braking, and Traction Control System.
- Parental Controls: (Xaber 300) App-based speed limiting and geofencing for controlled riding areas.
Expanding the E-Bike Lineup: Myon and Muxi
Alongside the performance-oriented Xaber, Segway is broadening its consumer e-bike portfolio with two new models. The Myon is positioned as a versatile commuter and leisure bike. It features a 500W motor with 85Nm of torque, a 722Wh battery promising up to 80 miles of range, and is available in Class 1, 2, or 3 configurations to suit different local regulations. Its standout technological feature is a new proprietary electronic shifting system, controlled via handlebar buttons and fine-tuned through a smartphone app, which promises to reduce maintenance and simplify gear changes. Priced at an accessible USD 1,999, the Myon is available for pre-order immediately. For a more relaxed riding experience, Segway introduced the Muxi, a short-tail, beach-cruiser style e-bike. With a 750W direct-drive motor, a single-speed drivetrain, and a focus on stability, it includes features like Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. Starting at USD 1,699, the Muxi will go on sale in March 2026 and can be outfitted with cargo and passenger kits, emphasizing its role as a casual, social vehicle.
A Focus on Safety and Smart Technology
A consistent theme across Segway's new lineup is an integrated focus on safety and anti-theft technology. Both the Myon and Muxi e-bikes come equipped with Segway's Intelligent Ride System, which includes GPS tracking, integration with Apple's FindMy network, and a new "Lost Mode" that allows owners to remotely disable the bike and its battery if stolen. Beyond software, Segway announced two innovative hardware accessories. The Rearview Radar, priced at USD 99.99, uses millimeter-wave technology to detect vehicles approaching from behind up to 230 feet away, providing the rider with audio and visual alerts. The Xiro Dropper Post, available for USD 299.99, is an automatic seat post that lowers when it senses the bike slowing to a stop, allowing riders to easily plant both feet on the ground for stability.
Conclusion: A Strategic Pivot for a Legacy Brand
Segway's CES 2026 showcase represents a clear strategic pivot. By moving beyond novelty items and focusing on a cohesive family of electric two-wheelers—from the practical and affordable Myon and Muxi to the performance-focused Xaber 300—the brand is positioning itself as a comprehensive solution provider in the micro-mobility space. The heavy emphasis on modular safety features, smart connectivity, and user-customizable performance suggests Segway understands that modern consumers demand more than just transportation; they want integrated, intelligent, and secure mobility experiences. While the final verdict on the Xaber 300's performance awaits its full spec reveal later this year, Segway has successfully demonstrated it is no longer just the company of balancing scooters, but a serious contender in the future of electric ride.
