Segway has opened orders for the Xyber Air, a $1,999 e-bike that adapts the styling of last year's Xyber into a lighter, street-legal package. The bike uses a 750W rear hub motor with 80 Nm of torque and can be configured for Class 1, 2, or 3 operation, with speeds up to 28 mph in Class 3. A Hybrid Mode allows throttle up to 20 mph while pedal assist continues to 28 mph, though the source notes some states require true Class 3 e-bikes to have no throttle.
Segway claims up to 58 miles of range from a 717 Wh battery. The bike weighs 84 lb, supports a 330 lb payload, and comes with an 80 mm dual-crown fork, 20x4-inch fat tires, and hydraulic disc brakes. It also includes motorcycle-style features such as traction control, hill-start assist, and regenerative hill descent control. Connected services—AirLock unlocking, GPS tracking, Lost Mode, and over-the-air updates—are included, but some require a subscription after the first year.
Electrek's take is broadly positive, saying Segway kept the moto-inspired look while making the bike fit within existing e-bike regulations and a more accessible price point. The article also notes that the Xyber Air is not the best value compared with models like the Juiced Scrambler, but it expands options for riders who want this style. Shipping begins October 27 through Segway's dealer network and Scheels locations.
