The Segway eMoped C80 scoots you around in style! The sleek C80 can scooter you about at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour and offers an incredibly pleasant ride for individuals who want more than just an electric scooter but a bit less than a motorbike. While it has a lot of high-tech features, such as NFC for unlocking the bike, everything is displayed as simply and naturally as possible. It’s also not necessary to have a motorbike license to ride it.

Design: Segway eMoped C80
The C80 is a contemporary version of the iconic Vespa. The body’s basic, clean, angular lines flow from the handlebars down to a deck and afterward up to the seat. Everything seems fairly homogenous, excluding the front and rear. Although the C80’s deck is broad enough for two people to stand side by side, Should you desire a wider posture, there are two retractable footrests.
The C80’s controls are simple and identical to those found on any motorbike or moped: The throttle is rotated on the right handgrip, and there is a handbrake on either side. The horn is activated by a button on the left handlebar, and cruise control and turning off the C80 is activated by a button just on the right handlebar. Large LED rings adjacent to each button change green, blue, or yellow to indicate which mode you’re in; for example, blue indicates cruise control is on.
A huge display in the center indicates your speed. A power indicator is located on the sides; it doesn’t get much easier than that. Two adjustable side-view mirrors are included with the C80; if you’re wider like me, you might wish they could stretch out an inch or two farther. Turn signals were included on the C80. Given that you’ll most likely be riding it in traffic, it’d be beneficial if you could signal which direction you’re heading. The C80 has headlights and taillights, albeit the latter is hidden behind a tiny deck, making them less noticeable.
App, security, and safety features:
Segway has put a few safety features inside the bike to keep robbers from stealing your moped. You may either unlock the bike through the Segway app or press an NFC card on the C80’s display to switch it on. If you don’t do either – but try to move the bike, the wheels will lock up and make a loud noise. If someone tries to steal the C80, the built-in GPS will notify you of their location.
Furthermore, until someone sits on the bike, a pressure sensor on the seat prohibits the C80 from moving. So don’t try to hot-dog it while you’re on the road! A little key lock on the underside of the C80 prevents anyone from opening the seat and maybe taking the battery. Because it’s not in the handiest location, you’re more so than likely to ignore it’s there if you leave the keys inside.
Performance of Segway eMoped C80
The C80, according to Segway, features a motor that can generate about 600W of nominal power and nearly 750W of peak power. That’s sufficiently powerful for its intended use, but after riding the Apollo Ghost electric scooter — and loving its peak speed of 30 mph — especially as automobiles passed by. If the C80 was built up at quicker speeds, however, it’d be subject to an additional set of rules.
The C80’s motor was rather powerful, although it may struggle on inclines with heavier riders. I’m approximately 185 pounds, and it dropped to about six miles an hour on harder slopes. Because it’s a moped, one can use the C80’s pedals to get it rolling; but, it’s far quicker to just crank the throttle. You may disable pedal start on the Segway app. Even though bumps and potholes, the C80’s complete suspension and 14 2.5 inflated tires provided a comfortable ride. The plush, padded seat was also a huge plus.
Battery life and range: Segway eMoped C80
The Segway eMoped C80‘s battery should generate a variety of up to 47 miles for a 165-pound rider riding at 60% speed in 77-degree weather, according to Segway. In real-world situations, expect less. You may remove the battery from the C80’s seat and charge it independently from the bike by lifting up the seat. Because the battery is so heavy, Segway decided it would be a good idea to provide a handle. The charge of the battery is shown via a tiny button and status LEDs.
Conclusion
When a Vespa zoomed around like Gregory Peck and Jacqueline Hepburn. While whizzing through suburban New Jersey on a Segway eMoped C80 isn’t really the same as going past the Trevi fountain, it’s close. It’s a well-thought-out machine that’s a joy to ride.
The Segway C80 comes in at a cool $2,200. Not a budget e-bike by any stretch, but it’s not going to break the bank for many either. There are currently no accessories for carrying multiple items, though the bike does offer a small hook to hold a bag. It makes the most sense for people that live in areas with less traffic like small towns or beach communities,
