Segway has been making “micromobility” machines since before they were called that, and at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the company is showing off everything it has learned in that time. The company has brought a wide variety of products to the show, including a pair of e-bikes.
Electric bicycles are the new hotness right now, and Segway-Ninebot (to give the company its full name) is jumping into the industry with both feet. While the Xafari looks like any other e-bike, the Xyber almost looks like a motorcycle.
The Xafari is designed to be a go-anywhere e-bike and features a single-piece Gravity casting frame, a full suspension, and all-terrain wheels. In addition to pedals, it also gets a 913 Watt-hour high-energy density battery that it says offers 30 percent more range than competitors’ bikes. It can be recharged in as little as four hours and powers a 750W motor.

Meanwhile, the Xyber features a motorcycle-class double cradle frame to ensure stability over any landscape. The frame is also capable of accommodating two batteries for 1,440 Watt-hours of capacity, which gives it a range of up to 95 miles. Meanwhile, the motor delivers 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) of torque, which gets it from 0-19.8 (31.8 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds.
If you want something a bit smaller, Segway also offers the eKickScooter E2 Pro. A folding scooter, its 750W motor gets it up to a top speed of 15.5 mph (25 km/h), and it has a range of 16.8 miles (27 km). It also comes loaded with tech, like traction control, turn signals, and a small screen that shows information about your speed, state of charge, and more.
If you’re seeking even more compact mobility, consider the Ninebot S2. It resembles the classic Segway (or what some may refer to as a hoverboard) with a central column that goes between your knees, aiding in steering.
It has a top speed of 11.2 mph (18 km/h), a typical riding range of 21.7 miles, and it comes with a Bluetooth speaker built in to play your music. What is perhaps most fascinating about the Ninebot S2 is that it can be used to power the Segway Gokart Pro 2.
Essentially, the wheels slot into a go-kart frame, and suddenly you can tear up the chalk racetrack you drew in your cul-de-sac. Segway claims it has a top speed of 26.7 mph (43 km/h) in race mode, and that it’s designed for drifting.
Cooler still, if it’s too cold to ride or kart in your neighborhood, you can bring the whole thing inside, and it has been designed to turn into a sim racing rig when you plug it into your computer. With an auto-centering steering wheel and paddle shifters, it should make you feel like you’re racing whether you’re outside or in the living room.
Finally, Segway’s CES booth is being rounded out by the Navimow i Series smart lawnmower. An improvement over its existing H series, the tool no longer requires you to set out a boundary around your yard with wires, and can better track its location and cutting accuracy. It also has a built-in vision system to help it avoid obstacles. More information, like pricing, is expected soon.
