In December last year, Segway-Ninebot unveiled its first electric bike series dubbed Ninebot C-series and made up of the C40, C60 and C80. Segway has now unveiled the topmost variant with a 24h power pack, a 20 mph top speed and 52.8 miles range for the global market on Indiegogo. The model is launched as Segway eMoped C80 and starts at $1,899.
The Segway eMoped C80 is a moped-style electric bike and will be available in two attractive colours. The body is made of plastic but is said to be durable and won’t scratch easily. The e-Bike also adopts the Ninebot AirLock + NFC unlocking method which means it can be unlocked using an NFC-enabled smartphone or an NFC card. The car lock is also directly integrated into the rear wheel of the electric bike.
In addition, the C80 also features a simplified instrument control cluster. There is a light ring at the left and right sides of the handlebar with three different colour codes; yellow, red and green, all indicating the different state of the e-bike. The ring lights flash yellow when the bike is on standby. It lights up green while driving and red shows the bike has a fault. There is also an instrument cluster in the middle which shows the speed and battery power.
Further, the control buttons on the handlebar have also been simplified. The left side is the horn control button, and the right side is the start/fixed cruise/battery cover button.
In terms of safety, the entire vehicle weighs less than 50kg, the body is equipped with separate infant and child seats and it has a centre-mounted two-stage shock absorber. For braking, the Segway eMoped C80 adopts a front disc brake system while the rear has a drum design. It also comes with IPX7 water resistance.
The newly designed 1152 Wh lithium-ion battery can take you on a long journey of up to 52.8 miles range on a single charge. The detachable battery can also be removed in a snap with a weight of just 13.2 lbs. The bike also comes with auto cruise which can be activated by simply pressing the multi-functional button located on the right side of the vehicle and select your desired speed.
