Segway, a pioneer in self-balancing scooters, has made a bold comeback at CES 2025 with a range of innovative products, including two powerful e-bikes, a 50mph scooter, and an advanced robot mower. The company has shifted its focus from goofy self-balancing pods and paintball-shooting go-karts to more practical and exciting offerings.
The e-bike lineup features the Xafari and Xyber, both announced last year, with additional details on pricing and ordering. The Xyber is the more imposing of the two, with a motorcycle-like design and a starting price of $2,999.99. It boasts a rear-mounted 750W torquey direct-drive motor that can propel riders from zero to 20mph in just 2.7 seconds. Although it's classified as an e-bike, it has pedals and caps out at 20mph, with an off-road mode that allows speeds faster than 28mph in areas where it's legally permitted.
The Xyber's impressive specs include a 2,880Wh dual-battery configuration, providing a range of up to 112 miles between charging, and 12 different levels of pedal assist, as well as three ride modes (Eco, Sport, and Race) of throttle-only operation. It also features 110mm of suspension in the front and 100mm in the rear, a 1,330-lumen headlight with smart light features, and a 2.4-inch TFT display showing real-time information like speed and battery charge.
In contrast, the Xafari is designed for customers with more traditional tastes, featuring a low-step frame and wide tires for maximum comfort. Starting at $2,399.99, it rocks a 750W motor with 80nm of torque and a 936Wh removable battery, providing up to 88 miles of range in the lowest power setting. Both bikes sport Segway's Intelligent Ride System, which includes automated features like headlights, bike locking, and adaptive pedal assist.
Segway's true DNA, however, lies in scooters. The company is releasing its third-generation kick scooters, ranging from entry-level to high-performance super-scooters. The GT3 Pro leads the pack with acceleration of zero to 30mph in just 3.9 seconds in Ultra Boost Mode, a top speed of 49.7mph, and a range of up to 86 miles on a single charge. The GT3 is also great for hill climbing, with the ability to tackle slopes up to 38 degrees, and features a very advanced suspension system with coil-sprung, hydraulically damped shocks in the front and rear.
Segway is also highlighting its "SegRide" ride enhancement system, which includes the geometry of the scooter, ergonomics, and the angle and curvature of the handlebars. The company is also releasing its F and E series e-scooters for commuters, as well as its Max G3, described as the luxury sedan in its lineup of scooters.
Lastly, Segway is upgrading its lineup of robot lawn mowers with the Navimow X3, which will go on sale in spring 2025. The new robots are designed to cover a lot more ground than the previous generation, with the ability to climb slopes of up to 27 degrees, IP6-rated waterproofing, and improved AI capabilities that can recognize pets and other wildlife. The X3 can also integrate with smart home systems, allowing users to activate it using Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
While Segway didn't reveal pricing details for the Navimow X3, the company's focus on innovation and performance is clear. With its latest lineup of e-bikes, scooters, and robot mower, Segway is poised to make a significant impact in the tech industry.
In conclusion, Segway's CES 2025 showcase demonstrates the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation. With its powerful e-bikes, high-performance scooters, and advanced robot mower, Segway is set to revolutionize the way we travel and maintain our outdoor spaces.
