The Segway Myon: The “Why Is This Not Way More Expensive?” E-Bike
I’m Blake at Savage Bicycles, and I’ll be blunt: most “smart” e-bikes fall into one of two buckets.
- They’re loaded with features… and priced like a small car.
- They’re affordable… and the “smart” stuff is basically a sticker and an app.
The Segway Myon is the rare third bucket: feature-rich and attainable. It rides like a real bike, it’s packed with the kind of tech you normally only see on premium models, and it does it without demanding a luxury-bike budget.
That’s why Savage carrying the Myon matters. It changes what riders in Surprise can reasonably expect for their money.
The Myon’s Core Trick: It Collapses the “Either/Or”
Most buyers are forced into a tradeoff:
- Do you want comfort and simplicity?
- Or performance and features?
- Or security and tech?
- Or affordability?
The Myon’s whole identity is saying: Why are we picking just one?
It’s built to cover the real spectrum of riders we see at Savage every day—commuters, cruisers, gadget people, “I just want to ride more” people—without feeling like it was designed for only one personality type.
“Tesla Logic,” But Applied to a Bike
Here’s the comparison I keep coming back to when people ask what makes the Myon different.
A Tesla isn’t just fast. It’s the experience:
the car is quietly doing helpful things in the background—security, lighting, updates, convenience—so ownership feels calmer and more confident.
The Myon has that same vibe.
Not in a cringey “we put a screen on it” way. In a “this bike is thinking about the stuff you’ll care about after the honeymoon phase” way:
- Airlock-style protection (so the bike can lock down and reduce tampering headaches)
- Motion alerts / a sentry-mode mindset (so you’re not relying on luck when it’s parked)
- Auto headlights and taillights (visibility without remembering switches)
- Turn signals integrated into the bike (not a dinky add-on)
- A connected Intelligent Ride System that ties the bike and app together for real ownership benefits
And here’s the important part: none of that matters if the bike doesn’t ride well. Which brings me to…
Power That Feels Like Momentum, Not a Motor
You know that feeling when an e-bike helps, but it still feels a little… strained? Like it’s politely assisting you?
The Myon doesn’t do polite.
It runs a 500W rear hub motor with 85 Nm of torque, and torque is the thing your body understands immediately. It’s the difference between “I guess I’ll make it up this hill” and “cool, we’re going up this hill.”
It also supports Class 2 (20 mph) and can be configured to Class 3 (28 mph) in the app where legal—which matters if you’re commuting or just want rides to feel efficient instead of slow.
Then there’s the battery: 722 Wh removable with claimed range up to 79 miles. Real-world range always depends on terrain, assist level, rider weight, wind, tire pressure—the usual truth. But this is a legitimately big battery, which is why the Myon makes “range anxiety” feel like an old hobby you can quit.
Comfort Isn’t Soft. It’s Control.
A lot of bikes confuse comfort with “squishy.” That’s not comfort. That’s vague handling.
Real comfort is: the bike tracks straight, absorbs the garbage pavement, and doesn’t beat you up over a longer ride.
The Myon’s setup is exactly that:
- 80 mm front suspension with preload adjustment
- 27.5 x 1.95 multi-surface tires that feel stable and predictable
This is the kind of bike you can ride for an hour and get off thinking, I could keep going, not I need a chiropractor.
And when it’s time to stop, it stops like it should: hydraulic dual-piston disc brakes with 180 mm rotors. That’s not just performance—it’s peace of mind, especially when you’re riding around traffic or carrying gear.
The “Yes, I’m Actually Seen” Safety Package
If you’ve been riding long enough, you know visibility isn’t optional. It’s survival.
Myon comes with an automatic 600-lumen headlight, brake/tail lights, and integrated turn signals—meaning the bike communicates what you’re doing in a way drivers can actually process.
It’s also made for real riding conditions, not sunny brochure weather:
- Body: IPX5
- Battery: IPX7
Translation: if the forecast is ugly, you don’t have to cancel your life.
One Bike. Three Personalities.
Here’s where it gets fun. The Myon makes sense for different kinds of riders for different reasons:
If you commute:
You’ll love it because it turns trips into something reliable: power, speed options, braking, lighting, and a tech/security layer that makes parking less stressful.
If you ride for comfort:
You’ll love it because it’s stable, confidence-inspiring, and it makes riding feel easy to start—and easy to keep doing.
If you love the newest gadget:
You’ll love it because it feels modern in a way that actually improves ownership, not just “look at my screen.”
This is exactly why the Myon is such a big deal for Savage: it doesn’t force you into a single identity to enjoy it.
The bottom line (and the real reason we’re excited)
The Myon isn’t trying to be the most expensive bike in the room.
It’s doing something more disruptive: bringing premium features down to earth. Feature-rich, confidence-inspiring, and priced in a way that makes people stop and go, “Wait… seriously?”
That’s the game-changer.
