- Segway unveiled the Xaber 300, a full‑electric dirt bike that marks the company's entry into the powersports market.
- The Xaber 300 produces a peak power of 21 kW, delivering a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) and accelerating from 0‑50 mph in 5.5 seconds.
- The bike weighs 187 lb (85 kg), giving it a power‑to‑weight ratio of 0.25 kW/kg.
- Its battery is a 72 V, 44 Ah pack with just over 3 kWh capacity, built with Samsung 50S cells.
- Segway claims the Xaber 300 can travel up to 62 miles (100 km) in low‑power mode, but range drops to roughly 30 miles (50 km) in higher performance modes.
Why it matters: The Xaber 300 gives Segway a foothold in the electric powersports segment, offering riders a high‑speed, lightweight alternative to gasoline dirt bikes and e‑bikes alike. Its 21 kW motor and 62‑mile range could attract off‑road enthusiasts looking for cleaner, high‑performance rides.
