I just tried Segway's new Myon e-bike at CES 2026 — and it might be the best yet for commuters

If its newest ride is any indication, Segway could soon be known for its electric bikes as much as its scooters. At CES 2026, I had a chance to test ride the Segway Myon, a new e-bike tailored for commuters and city riders, and was impressed with its performance, features, and price.

Here's a quick rundown of all that the Segway Myon offers, and how it handled on an indoor test track in Las Vegas. It could definitely be in the running as one of the best electric bikes, but we'll have to test it more to find out.

Starting price: $1,999

Ebike class: 2 (3 outside of California)

Last year, Segway introduced its first two ebikes, the Xyber and the Xafari, which were aimed at more of an outdoorsy and adventure-seeking set. The Myon, by contrast, is a bit more sedate in its specs, but should have a wider appeal for those who want an everyday ebike.

That's not to say the Myon is without its amenities. It features a 500-Watt rear hub motor (750W peak) with a max torque of 85 nm, which should be more than powerful enough to get you up most hills.

Segway also outfitted the Myon with an electronic shifter, which was really smooth in my test ride. I simply thumbed a small switch on the right handlebar to shift up or down. Right below this is a small rocker switch that lets you adjust the level of pedal assistance.

Below that is a thumb lever for the Myon's throttle. When I pressed down on that, the bike accelerated smoothly and quickly, and before I knew it, I was rocketing around the track at 20 MPH.

Over on the left handlebar are controls for the turn signals in the handlebars, as well as a button to navigate the center display, and another for the electronic horn. (The bike also has an old-school bell, giving you a belt-and-suspenders approach.)

Similar to the company's electric scooters, the Myon comes with Apple FindMy, as well as remote locking, and GPS and a Lost Mode (where you can remotely track the bike) if you sign up for a subscription.

Loads of accessories

Similar to Rad Power, Segway is planning to offer a host of accessories for the Myon, including a rear rack with radar; when attached, lights on the handlebars will light up if the bike senses that a car is approaching you from the rear too fast.

Other accessories include a dropper post, a top tube for increased rigidity, as well as front- and rear-mounted baskets.

Initial impressions

I've ridden my share of ebikes, and Segway's newest model feels very well-rounded. At $1,999, the Myon is not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but given the features it offers, such as the electronic shifters, and security features, it seems a reasonable price.

I'll have to wait until there's warmer weather to give the Segway Myon a full rundown. But, from my initial impressions, it was very comfortable to ride, its controls were well within thumb's reach, it shifted easily and it responded quickly to my inputs and pedaling.

The Myon is currently for sale, though unlike Segway's scooters which you can buy online, the Myon has to be purchased through a local bike dealer, which you can find at Segway's site.
