    LEVA-EU member Segway made a bold statement at this year’s Micromobility Europe conference, unveiling its latest designs in shared mobility that incorporate AI technology, sustainability, and modularity. The two-day event, held in Brussels, Belgium, on June 17-18, brought together thousands of city leaders, startups, and investors to explore the future of urban transportation.

    Launch of Segway’s first AI-powered e-bike

    Returning to the Micromobility Europe showroom, Segway introduced the B200, its first shared e-bike that has been equipped with artificial intelligence. Building on the company’s Segway Pilot Lite AI box, launched at last year’s conference, the B200 integrates advanced safety features such as pedestrian and sidewalk detection, lane monitoring, and a newly introduced Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system.

    “Both versions of the Segway Pilot Lite share the same purpose – to enhance safety and operational efficiency through advanced AI technologies,” said Zack Yan, Vice General Manager at Segway, in a statement to industry publication Zag Daily.

    The B200’s BSD system delivers real-time obstacle alerts using dashboard indicators and audible warnings, offering nearly 300 degrees of safety coverage. This feature, combined with a dual-core CPU, wide-angle lens, and 8GB of eMMC storage, aims to set new benchmarks for rider safety in the micromobility sector.

    Advancing sustainability through recycling

    Segway also took the opportunity to spotlight its sustainability initiatives, showcasing its use of recycled metals and plastics in vehicle manufacturing. The company has previously received Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Verification Statements from TÜV SÜD for models including the Max S90L and Max Plus X, the first shared e-scooters globally to earn such recognition.

    “This is the first time we showcase the direct recycling process in such a detailed way,” Yan explained. “Our intention is not to position ourselves as the sole leaders, but rather to share our journey and experiences openly. We believe that sustainability is a collective effort, and by demonstrating our approach, we aim to contribute to the broader conversation within the micromobility industry. Through partnerships, collaborations, and open dialogue, we hope to create a ripple effect that encourages the entire micromobility industry to prioritize sustainability.”

    According to Segway, the use of reclaimed materials significantly reduces carbon emissions, particularly during the raw material extraction phase, which is typically the most polluting stage of production.

    Embracing modularity for fleet efficiency

    In addition to AI and environmental advancements, Segway revealed its new Modular Design concept. The system allows for interchangeable components—such as dashboards, handlebars, and stems across different vehicle models, enabling fleet operators to customise and upgrade their fleets with greater ease.

    “Customisation is a fundamental contributor to success in the shared micromobility industry, which enables operators to tailor their fleets according to different regulations and rider preferences,” said Yan. Modular designs also enable operators to extend vehicle life-cycles and reduce operational costs.

    With this holistic showcase, Segway underlined its commitment to shaping a smarter, safer, and more sustainable micromobility future. “This year’s Micromobility Europe conference is a very important milestone for Segway,” Yan concluded, “showcasing our product methodologies, business strategies, and our vision for the shared micromobility industry ecosystem.”
