Segway launches 60 MPH electric dirt bike – and it’s basically a full e-motorcycle

Segway may still be best known for its scooters, but the company has been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) expanding deeper into the electric two-wheeler space. Between its growing e-bike lineup and earlier Sur Ron-style off-road models, the trajectory has been clear. Now with the launch of the new Xaber 300, Segway is diving headfirst into the electric powersports market.

And make no mistake: this is a motorcycle, not an e-bike or an e-scooter.

The Segway Xaber 300 is a full-fledged electric dirt bike packing a 21 kW peak power output, good for a claimed top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) and a 0–50 mph (80 km/h) sprint in just 5.5 seconds. That’s well beyond typical e-bike territory and firmly into lightweight electric motorcycle performance.

Weighing just 187 lb (85 kg), the bike also boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 kW/kg, helping it deliver that kind of acceleration and off-road capability.
