Segway, best known for its self-balancing scooters, is branching out into electric bikes with its first-ever model, the Xyber. Designed to make an impression, this new eBike combines performance, smart tech, and a design that hints at its ambitions to take on the growing high-end eBike market. The question is: will it?
The Xyber packs a 6,000W direct-drive motor, delivering serious punch off the line—hitting 20 mph in just 2.7 seconds. For those looking to push the envelope, a dual-battery setup enables a top speed of 35 mph, along with an impressive 112-mile range. It’s a setup that speaks to both city riders and weekend explorers. Compare that to the 100 miles range on Zero Motorcycles’ FXE supermoto-styled electric commuter.
- Motor Power: 750W rear-mounted direct-drive motor
- Charging: 10A fast charging capability
- Range: Up to 112 miles with dual 1,440 Wh batteries; 56 miles with a single battery
- Suspension: Front suspension travel of 110 mm; rear suspension travel of 100 mm
- Throttle Modes: Three modes—Eco, Sport, and Race
- Acceleration: 0 to 20 mph in 2.7 seconds
- Torque: 175 Nm peak torque
- Pedal Assist Levels: 12 levels of power assist
Handling is another standout, with 110mm inverted dual-crown suspension and fat 20×5.0-inch tires designed to take on uneven terrain as easily as smooth city streets. With 175Nm of torque, the Xyber offers plenty of grunt for tackling hills or accelerating from stoplights. Stopping power is covered by Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, while an IPX7 water-resistance rating adds durability for less-than-ideal weather. Of course, we’d need to test the Xyber to validate any of this, but on paper, the specs and styling are on point.

What sets the Xyber apart in a crowded field is its tech-forward approach. Riders get features like GPS tracking, Apple Find My compatibility, and a 2.4-inch TFT display to keep tabs on ride data. A companion app connects everything, letting riders fine-tune their experience. There’s even a solid nod to security, with dual locking mechanisms, a high-decibel alarm, and anti-theft GPS ensuring some peace of mind when it’s parked.
From a design perspective, the Xyber leans into a minimalist, modern look, with clean lines that reflect Segway’s design heritage. It’s clear that this isn’t just a utility-focused eBike—it’s aiming to make a statement.
Whether the Segway Xyber is a game-changer remains to be seen, but its specs and features suggest it’s more than capable of holding its own in the eBike space. For now, it’s another step in Segway’s evolution, as the company moves from redefining scooters to making a mark in the two-wheeled electric scene. It’s available now, but with its performance chops and techy features, it might not stay on shelves for long. Keep an eye out—this is one ride you’ll want to see in action. It sell for around $3,000 on Segway’s site.
