Lugging groceries up three flights of stairs shouldn’t be your cardio for the day, yet the Segway MUXI eliminates that particular urban torture. This short-tail utility e-bike blends the chill vibes of a beach cruiser with cargo bike practicality—like if a surf van had a baby with your smartphone.
Available now for $1,699.99 through Segway’s online store and dealers, the MUXI (pronounced “moo-shee”) delivers 750 watts of direct-drive power with 80 Nm of torque. That 716Wh battery claims up to 80 miles of range, while the 418-pound load capacity means your Costco runs just became feasible without a car.
Algorithm-Powered Pedaling Gets Personal
Segway’s Intelligent Ride System adapts to your riding style while keeping thieves at bay.
The MUXI’s Algorithm 2.0 reads your pedaling patterns through torque and cadence sensors, delivering assistance that feels natural rather than robotic. You can switch between Class 1 and Class 2 modes through the app—because sometimes you need that extra speed boost to beat traffic lights.
Smart security features include:
- Apple Find My integration and Lost Mode
- Remote bike disabling if stolen
- Proximity unlocking using your phone as key
- Over-the-air updates
Fair warning: premium smart features require a subscription after year one.
Modular Design Adapts to Your Life
From solo grocery runs to family adventures, accessories transform this bike’s personality.
Segway’s design emphasizes low standover height and upright positioning for effortless mounting, even when loaded with cargo. Add the Passenger Kit ($199.99) for hauling kids up to 120 pounds, or snap on front and middle baskets for maximum grocery capacity. Nick Howe, Segway’s e-bike head, describes the MUXI as “like a surf van… blending laidback comfort of a beach cruiser with stability of a Dutch cargo bike.”
Safety tech rivals cars: Traction Control prevents wheelspin, Hill Descent Control manages steep declines, and regenerative braking extends range while slowing you down. At 73 pounds, this e-bike isn’t featherweight, but that heft translates to stability when carrying cargo or passengers through city streets.
The single-speed drivetrain keeps maintenance simple but limits steep hill climbing without electric assist. For urban dwellers seeking practical transport with tech sophistication, the MUXI delivers cargo bike utility without the unwieldy footprint.
