We heard about the eMobility Experience, a test track for demo rides of all the e-scooters, e-bikes and whatever other micromobility vehicles came to play in Las Vegas, even though we didn't make it to the show in person.
Many of the products shown weren't new, like Bird's new consumer suite of vehicles, like the Bird Bike, Bird Flex and Birdie, and the City Robin step-through e-bike. There were a number of companies showing off new versions of their products.
The theme for this year is smart, connected vehicles. These little electric vehicles are being built with more powerful onboard computers that are connected to apps that can help riders do things like find their vehicle, track fitness goals and control bike functions.
There were new bikes, scooters and connected tech at the Consumer Electronics Show.
The Segway is a vehicle.

Segway, the electric micromobility manufacturer that not only sells personal vehicles but also supplies a number of the world's shared operators with vehicles, came to the Consumer Electronics Show with a new kick scooter line, the P-Series, and a new moped-type e-scooter, the E
The P60 and P 100S scooters have wider handles and footboards. They have turn signaling, a tail light, multiple ways to lock and unlock the vehicle, and more. The E110a has room for two, plenty of storage space, and lots of smart features. The Segway-Ninebot app will have a battery management system and the ability to connect to smartphones, if it is anything like its last generation.
A cake.

The Swedish maker of lightweight electric motorbikes brought its work series to the U.S. for the first time. The series of professional motorbikes have been shown in other countries. The Ridecake app was updated to include features to allow professional fleet managers to monitor and manage their vehicles.
All current and upcoming models, as well as a majority of the existing Cake bikes, can be connected with the new data service-enabled Cake Connect module. The update to the app will include anti-theft security, as well as real-time riding information.
Professionals using the cloud-based management system will get real-time data, including live location of their fleet with position of all bikes, mileage, range and battery status for all bikes, and access to diagnostic data. Over the air, the system will allow for updates, anti-theft features, and custom ride modes.

Delfast claims that its electric Top 3.0 bike can go up to 200 miles on a single charge. The smart bike has an onboard computer that can be set to receive software updates and to be locked up. It can sync with Delfast's new mobile app to provide on-demand analytics, lock and unlock the bike, arm and disarm the bike alarm, track total mileage, odometer and speedometer metrics, monitor the bike power and estimate range, locate the bike, control lighting and other smart features
Niu.

The Niu BQi-C1 e-bike, a vehicle the company teased but finally shared pricing and tech specifications for, was shown up this year.
The step-through bike is powered by a 500W continuous and 750W Bafang hub motor in the rear and can reach top speeds of 28 miles per hour in the U.S. The U.S. version will have both a pedal assist and a throttle, while the European version only has pedal assist. The BQi will have many smart security features. It will be priced at $1,499 in the U.S., which is a pretty good deal for such a powerful e-bike.

One of the three products that can be ridden is one of the five products that Okai came with. Let's start there. The carbon fiber frame of the e-bike is lightweight. The bike has a 750W motor, swappable batteries, and a large screen.
The needs of the growing scooter-share industry were addressed by the launch of the ES600 sharing e-scooter. It has a swappable battery system with built-in handles on each battery, a low center of gravity, and a suspension system. It has side and front light indicators, as well as side-mounted headlights. The ES800 is an off-road performance scooter with a serious 1800W motor, 12-inch off-road tires, a 35% incline climb rate and dual shock absorbers. The heavy-duty vehicle is 30% heavier than most e-scooters to provide more stability.
You can't ride the products. The smart helmet, made with antibacterial materials, was unveiled by Okai. The audience that is being required by cities to include helmets is likely also geared toward this group.
The helmet can be used to connect to the Okai app, which allows riders to change front and rear displays to improve visibility. A smart integrated speaker can be used to listen to music while on the road.
Okai came to Vegas with a backpack that has an ultraviolet light disinfection chamber, a fingerprint sensor for secure access, integrated device charging, and a customization strip that can be linked to the vehicle's status.
Bosch.
The Bosch connected smart e-bike system was awarded an honor at the Consumer Electronics Show.
The eBike Flow app acts as a key, a control unit, a display, a battery and a drive unit. The connected bike can be updated over-the-air, record personal ride info and fitness data, personalize riding modes, and display information like battery charge status and next service appointment on the home screen.
Moon bikes.

There was a Moonbike to keep things interesting. The company's electric snow vehicle is not new, but it was the first time people got to see it in person. The snowmobile has a 3 kW electric motor and a top speed of 26 miles per hour.
It is much lighter than your traditional snowmobile, which might make it easier to maneuver and play around on. It has a snow track on the rear and a single ski in front, and its battery can go about 12 miles in sport mode or 22 miles in eco mode. A full charge would take a long time.
