Segway might be best known for its iconic private two-wheelers, but at CES 2025 it will introduce two new electric motorcycles that offer superior functionality at a premium price, but are just as smart as the Segway. I promise, they can just sit down too. among the most productive electric motorcycles you can buy. They can now be reserved ahead of its launch in February at store. segway. com.
Starting with the $2,999.99 Segway Xyber. At a quick glance you might mistake it for a dirt bike – perhaps due to its front moto-style, inverted dual-crown fork suspension featuring 110mm of travel (the rear suspension boasts 100mm of travel) – though Segway prefer to calls it a light-electric-vehicle which conjures up images of it being like a small motorbike perfect for city cruising.
Powered by a 2,880Wh dual-battery configuration with a range of up to 112 miles, while the single battery config can achieve 56 miles. It comes with 12 different levels of pedal-asstance, or three throttle-only modes (Eco, Sport, or Race) – with Race promising to take you from 0 to 20mph in 2.7 seconds. When you need to slow down the Xyber relies on 4-piston and two-piston Tektro hydraulic disk brakes in the front and back respectively, and it comes with a pair of 20-inch x 5-inch tires with flat resistant inserts.
The only factor is that the strength of the Segway says it is a road legal Class 2. Xyber will arrive later this year.
Then there’s the $2,399.99 Segway Xafari which showcases a more classic-looking frame. It comes equipped with a 936Wh battery that has an 88 mile range – and a nought to 20 acceleration of 5.2 seconds – as well as a pair of 26-inch x 3-inch all terrain tires.
Both e-bikes also rely on Segway’s Intelligent Ride System. This suite of smart tech features includes Airlock – a security system which automatically engages in-built mechanical locks and shuts out system access when you walk away (and unlocks when you return) to help prevent theft; Adaptive pedal assist which promises to automatically adjust the level of assistance the battery provides based on the slope angle, terrain, and the rider’s own effort; real-time health and fitness data syncing with Apple and Android apps; Segway’s intelligent lighting system to automatically switch on headlights, turn signals and brakelights; and GPS connectivity to support Segway GPS tracking as well as in-built Apple Find My tech to help you find your bike if you lose it.
As we said before, given their price and what Segway is promising, these new e-bikes have the potential to seriously shake up our best e-bikes list when we have the chance to test them out for a review. Before then, however, look out for our thoughts on the hands-on demo we’re having later at CES with the Xafari and one of the new Segway e-scooters the brand also just announced.
