- Segway announced the Xaber 300 is now on sale and shipping to authorized US dealers as of today.
- Xaber 300 is powered by a 21 kW peak motor that delivers a claimed 60 mph top speed and 0‑50 mph acceleration in 5.5 seconds.
- Battery uses a 72 V 44 Ah pack of Samsung 50S cells, giving just over 3 kWh capacity and a quoted range of up to 62 miles (100 km) in low‑power mode.
- Frame is a forged aluminum chassis derived from Segway’s Dakar racing prototypes, paired with adjustable Marzocchi suspension (220 mm travel) and four‑piston hydraulic brakes with 220 mm rotors.
- Software suite includes multiple ride modes, traction control, regenerative braking, GPS connectivity, geo‑fencing, over‑the‑air updates, and a virtual electronic clutch that mimics a traditional transmission.
- Price is set at $5,299, with sales through authorized Segway Powersports dealers.
- Market competition is rising as other major players enter the lightweight electric dirt bike segment, and Segway’s manufacturing scale and electronics expertise signal a push toward mainstream adoption.
Why it matters: Riders gain a high‑performance, relatively affordable electric dirt bike at $5,299, while traditional gasoline‑powered off‑road manufacturers face heightened competition as Segway’s scale and electronics expertise accelerate the shift of electric dirt bikes into the mainstream powersports market, expanding options for eco‑conscious enthusiasts.
