Inventor Dean Kamen initially developed the Segway brand to assist wheelchair users who were struggling to get over a sidewalk, before expanding the concept and exploring its possibilities. Now, Segway has become a byword for innovative electric scooters that incorporate stylish designs, cool RGB lighting, and eco-friendly operations. Its latest release, the Segway Xafari electric bike, has been unveiled at the 2024 CES show in Las Vegas and confirms its status as the global leader in robotics technology and micro-mobility.
Designed for hardened off-road enthusiasts and committed bikers alike, it’s joined by the Segway Xyber, delivering a duo of powerhouse bikes with a raft of impressive features. Delivering fully customizable features, the Segway Xafari introduces active scene perception to carefully analyze road conditions and make on-the-fly adjustments. Combined with active rider analysis, this mode allows the bike to instantly adjust power output, initiating and locking, and headlight activation following the data.
This data is also seamlessly integrated with a range of smartphone health apps using Ninebot’s vehicle networking platforms for additional user insights. Data monitoring of the bike’s real-time speed and mileage can be quickly linked to calories burned and other health-related metrics to bring the rider and bike in line.
It’s all brought together in the Segway Xafari’s all-in-one smart cockpit, where smart applications and intelligent navigation systems can be easily viewed through the full-color display dashboard. It’s a well-considered design that’s matched with the bike’s one-piece gravity-casting frame construction with full suspension and extensive battery life.
Whether you’re heading out for a leisurely ride or hitting tough terrain off-road, the Xafari represents the cutting edge of the e-bike revolution. The Segway Xafari will go on sale in the US towards the end of this year when full specs and pricing will be revealed.
