Segway isn’t content to stick to scooters. The brand’s first short‑tail cargo ebike, called MUXI, brings utility bike capability into a compact, Vespa‑like silhouette.

A low standover height and upright riding position make it easy to hop on and off, while a 716 Wh removable battery powers a 750 W rear‑hub motor delivering 80 Nm of torque. Segway claims up to 80 miles of range depending on terrain and assist level. The direct‑drive, single‑speed drivetrain and 20‑by‑3‑inch tires prioritize smooth power delivery over outright speed.

Safety and convenience features abound. The Intelligent Ride System layers adaptive pedal assist with a 600‑lumen automatic headlight, brake lights and GPS‑based security alerts.

Hill Descent Control, regenerative braking and traction control provide stability when descending with a full load; the bike can carry up to 418 pounds including rider and cargo. Hydraulic disc brakes and the wide tires help absorb bumps on pothole‑strewn city streets. A TFT display keeps the cockpit tidy and easy to read.

Segway pays attention to the small touches: there’s a built‑in cupholder, optional front and middle baskets, a rear passenger seat kit and an upcoming Xiro automatic dropper post for even easier stopping. The MUXI is available in Olive Rush or Dusty Sage and starts at $1,699.99 through Segway dealers.

For men seeking an alternative to car trips or bulky long‑tail cargo bikes, this short‑tail e-bike offers a balanced blend of practicality, performance and maneuverability.
