Segway Xafari or Segway Xyber: Which Segway E-Bike Should You Get?

Segway has unveiled two new electric bikes that are bound to excite our adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Segway Xafariand the Segway Xyberare both engineered to tackle the roughest of terrains and deliver high-precision, high-performance rides. 

That said, while these two electric bikes feature similar levels of power, off-road capabilities, and advanced technology, they seem to appeal to two completely different types of thrill-seekers. This begs the question: which e-bike is the right fit for you?

In this blog, we’ll compare the Segway Xafari and the Segway Xyber to help you decide. 

Xafari vs. Xyber: Head to Head Comparison

The Segway Xyber and Xafari are designed for different riders. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you choose the right one.

Design and Build

The Segway Xafari and Xyber each bring a distinct style for various riding needs.

Though it features the more "e-bike" look between the two, the Segway Xafari does not, by all means, look like your typical e-bike. This trekking e-bike stands out with a distinctive look characterised by a thick step-through frame and a design that is both edgy and sleek.

On the other hand, the Segway Xyber leans heavily into the off-road sport performance side, with a powerful motorcycle-like design achieved by a frame that accommodates two riders. It's a bold and futuristic look that actually reminds us of the C3Strom Astro Pro

Power and Speed

Both the Segway Xafari and Xyber pack serious power designed for distinct riding situations. 

The Segway Xafari reaches a solid top speed of 32 KPH, with a 750W motor that provides 80 Nm of torque—enough to tackle hills up to a 25% grade. This model also features a stepless gear system that adapts smoothly to your pedalling rhythm and physical effort. This means you can enjoy a consistent boost, whether you’re riding on flat paths or climbing steeper trails.

In contrast, the Segway Xyber, though also powered by a 750W motor, delivers significantly more torque and speed. With 175 Nm of torque, it accelerates from zero to 32 KPH in only 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 60 KPH. Its hill-climbing capacity is similar to the Xafari, handling up to a 26% grade, but the Xyber’s extra power makes it more well-suited for tackling tough, rugged terrain.

Range and Battery

When it comes to range, both the Segway Xafari and Xyber offer solid battery setups.

The Segway Xafari is equipped with a high-density 936Wh battery that provides up to 58 KMS of range, which is perfect for extended outdoor rides. Using high-capacity 21700 battery cells, it holds one of the largest battery capacities available in this e-bike category. 

Meanwhile, the Segway Xyber delivers more range (up to 77 KMS) with a robust 1440Wh battery. For even greater distances, you have the option to add a second battery to double the capacity to 2880Wh and further boost the range to an incredible 150 KMS.

Ride Quality

Though designed to excel in different riding environments, the Xafari and Xyber are both built to deliver comfortable and stable rides.

The Segway Xafari is fitted with wide 26x3 inch tyres that provide strong traction and stability on varied surfaces. Combined with a full suspension system that offers 80mm of travel in the front and 70mm in the rear, it efficiently absorbs impacts you might get from trails and moderate off-road terrain.

On the other hand, the Segway Xyber is engineered for tougher terrain. With 20x5 inch all-terrain tyres and a dual suspension system that provides 120mm of travel in both front and rear, the Xyber delivers excellent traction and grip that keeps you stable even through rugged conditions.

Tech, Safety, and Other Features

Segway has packed both the Xafari and Xyber with smart tech and security features, each tailored for a specific riding experience.

For the Segway Xafari, adaptive technology forms the core of your ride. Intelligent headlights adjust automatically to lighting conditions, while proximity sensors lock or unlock the bike as you approach or walk away. The multi-functional dashboard keeps you updated on speed, distance, navigation, and even tracks fitness stats. 

On the security side, advanced features like AirLock, motion detection, and GPS tracking through Apple Find My ensure your Xafari stays safe and within reach.

The Segway Xyber, meanwhile, boasts cutting-edge tech built for high performance. Equipped with Active Scene Perception, the Xyber adjusts power output based on road conditions. In addition, its colour display smart cockpit offers quick access to navigation, music controls, power assist, and real-time data tracking for metrics like speed and mileage. 

Meanwhile, the hidden wheel hub locks and comprehensive anti-theft measures keep your Xyber secure.

Wrapping Up

In the end, both the Segway Xafari and Xyber offer highly impressive features and state-of-the-art technology, but the choice comes down to your specific riding needs. 

If you're after an all-terrain e-bike that handles both commutes and outdoor adventures, the Xafari has you covered. On the other hand, if you're looking for a high-performance, off-road ride that can tackle rough terrain at high speeds, the Xyber is the way to go. 

No matter which model you choose, both the Xafari and Xyber offer a different level of performance and tech, which makes them absolute game-changers for your next ride.
