Segway isn’t just defined by its namesake stand-up scooter anymore. Since being acquired by and merging with Ninebot, Segway has added traditional electric scooters, a dirt e-bike, and at one time a pretty sweet chair to their portfolio. Now, they’re getting in the increasingly popular urban e-bike game. At CES 2025, Segway announced the Xyber and the Xafari, a pair of e-bikes with some serious two-wheeled horsepower and almost equally impressive range.
Two bikes, two very different rides
The Segway Xyber and Xafari have a number of differences between them, but if you’re familiar with e-bikes, you won’t be surprised by the main one — one’s got chonky tires, the other one don’t.
Xyber is the chonky tire option, and it’s heavy duty in more ways than one. For example, the huge dual-battery array sitting under the seat. Together, those two batteries account for 2,880WHr of power, giving the Xyber a 112-mile range on a single charge. This is the e-bike you want for off-road adventures.
There are three operating modes — the battery-conscious eco mode, sport mode, and race mode — and the latter will take you from zero to 20 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. That’s quite the rush for an e-bike, but it’s certainly got the tires to keep you balanced when you hit the turbo button.
Those three modes are just for when you’re only using the throttle to move. Let’s not forget that the Xyber is still a bike — you can move by pedaling the good old fashioned way, with 12 levels of electric pedal assist if you get tired or run into some hills.
The Xafari is a bit more chill, but it’d be a mistake to cast it off as the less powerful version of the Xyber. It’s got the same 20 miles per hour top speed, although it doesn’t have the kind of acceleration you’ll get with the Xyber in race mode. Besides the smaller tires, the major difference to watch out for is the smaller battery, a 936Whr unit that gives the e-bike an 88-mile range on one charge.
However, the Xafari may well be the, dare we say it, more practical option of the two. There are a lot of features to love here, especially for bike commuters. The battery has a USB port for charging other devices, and the e-bike includes a rear rack and in-frame softshell and hardshell bags, making it much easier to haul everything you need for the day ahead. The Xafari also has adjustable handlebars, stem, and center display — Segway says anyone between 5’1″ and 6’2″ will be able to find just the right fit.
Security features are the same for both the Xyber and Xafari — the e-bikes will shut down with mechanical locks and a software lock when you walk away, and you’ll get an alert on your phone (in addition to a loud alarm sounding on the e-bike) if someone tries to make off with it. The e-bikes also work with Apple Find My, and are equipped with GPS chips you can use to keep tabs on your e-bike’s location.
Long story short, the Xafari is your urban commuter e-bike, and the Xyber is your off-road hot rod. They’re both available for pre-order now, with the Xafari priced at $2,400 and the Xyber priced at $3,000. Both will ship in February, but they’ll be delivered to a nearby dealer rather than directly to you, so you’ll need to work out where the nearest location you’ll be able to pick up your order is.
Yes, you can get a Segway to mow your yard
If you can make electric things that move, the world is yours. In the past few years, Segway has branched out beyond just hauling people around — they’ve got an automated electric mower, the Navimow, that looks a bit like what you’d imagine an outdoor robot vacuum would look like.
It works in much the same way, too. The latest model being showcased at CES, the Navimow X3, is outfitted with a 300-degree wide-angle camera and a mapping algorithm that helps the bot plan efficient mowing routes, detect obstacles, and stay within the bounds you set.
It’s not just meant for your front lawn, either — thanks to efficient route planning and a larger cutting width, the Navimow X3 can mow a 5,000 square meter area within a day. Obstacle detection can navigate it around trees, and the bot can handle up to a 27-degree incline. So, if you’ve got a lot of grass to mow, or a park to maintain, the Navimow X3 can handle it.
There’s also a GPS chip in the bot for tracking, in case it gets lost or stolen. Segway has also kindly included pets as potential obstacles when building out their machine learning algorithms, so the Navimow X3 will indeed stop if the family dog gets a little too curious.
Scooting into the future
Segway also gave some love to their line of e-scooters at CES. Lots of options, but they’re all getting similar upgrades, including the same physical and software lockdown security system found on the Xyber and Xafari e-bikes. Their new SegRide technology adjusts the angles of the wheels and handlebars to maximize stability, and is tailored to the size and shape of each one of their e-scooters. With their SegRange technology, they’ve tinkered with the wheel motors and drive system to wring out a little more efficiency, resulting in a 20% improvement to range on a single charge across the board.
All of their new 3rd generation scooters are also getting improved traction, anti-lock brakes, automatic headlights, and a display in the center of the handlebars showing battery life and other information about the scooter.
On top of all that, Segway has peppered in range, acceleration, and top speed improvements for the flagship Max G3 e-scooter and the performance-focused GT3 Pro and GT3 options. Better suspension and stability and lighter frames are coming to their more commuter-oriented lines, including the F3 Pro, F3, E3 Pro, and E3.
Most of the 3rd generation e-scooters will be available sometime in the spring or summer, with the exception of the GT3, which is available for pre-order now for $1,500, a $200 discount off its regular retail price. The GT3 Pro will be available in April.
