Segway has announced the Xyber Air, a new electric bike that carries over the motorcycle-inspired styling of its original Xyber while offering a lighter, more accessible design intended for everyday riding. Priced at $1,999.99, the Xyber Air supports Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bike operation, giving riders more flexibility in where and how they travel.
Arriving October 27, the Xyber Air targets riders who appreciate the aggressive styling of a small motorcycle but want something suited to commuting, recreational rides, and streets where electric bicycles are permitted.
The original Xyber, introduced in 2025, attracted attention for its distinctive design and off-road capabilities. Segway’s latest version retains that visual identity while shifting toward a more practical, street-friendly experience.
Three Riding Classes, One Electric Bike
One of the Xyber Air’s biggest selling points is its ability to operate across multiple e-bike classifications.
Riders can select Class 1 operation with pedal assistance up to 20 mph, Class 2 with throttle or pedal assistance up to 20 mph, or Class 3 with pedal assistance reaching 28 mph.
A dedicated Hybrid Mode combines throttle operation up to 20 mph with pedal assistance up to 28 mph, eliminating the need to manually switch between modes.
The bike uses a 750-watt motor producing up to 1,600 watts of peak power and 80 Nm of torque. Segway claims it can accelerate from 0 to 20 mph in nine seconds.
A 717Wh battery provides a claimed range of up to 58 miles per charge, with charging taking approximately seven hours.
Segway’s Algorithm 2.0 uses cadence and gyroscopic sensors to adjust pedal assistance in real time, aiming to deliver smoother acceleration and a more natural riding experience.
Actual riding permissions depend on local regulations, so the ability to switch classes doesn’t automatically grant access to every bike path or trail.
Motorcycle Looks With Everyday Practicality
The Xyber Air retains the angular frame and distinctive X-shaped front and rear lighting of its predecessor.
Its 20-inch wheels wear wide, 4-inch tires, while a dual-crown front fork provides 80mm of suspension travel. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors handle stopping duties.
At 84 pounds, this is still a substantial electric bike. Riders carrying it upstairs or lifting it onto a vehicle rack will want to keep that figure in mind.
The Xyber Air supports riders between 4 feet, 8 inches and 6 feet tall, with a maximum payload of 330 pounds.
Smart Features Go Beyond the Handlebars
Segway has equipped the Xyber Air with its Intelligent Ride System, bringing connected security and convenience features into the experience.
AirLock automatic unlocking, Apple Find My support, GPS tracking, motion alerts, and a remote-disable Lost Mode provide several ways to monitor and secure the bike.
A full-color TFT display handles navigation and ride information while offering phone-connected music controls and call management. Automatic brightness adjustment helps keep information visible as lighting conditions change.
Additional technology includes traction control, regenerative hill descent control, hill start assistance, and a 600-lumen automatic headlight.
Segway says certain connected features require a subscription after the first year, though the announcement doesn’t specify ongoing pricing.
Pricing and Availability
The Segway Xyber Air goes on sale October 27 for $1,999.99 through Segway’s online store, authorized dealers, and SCHEELS locations nationwide.
Optional accessories include a $79.99 fender set, a $79.99 rear rack capable of supporting 22 pounds, and a $99.99 weather-resistant frame bag with an integrated combination lock.
SCHEELS will offer professional assembly, setup, and ongoing service through its bike shops.
For riders interested in the original Xyber’s styling but looking for something better suited to daily transportation, the Xyber Air presents a potentially appealing alternative. Its selectable riding classes and connected security features make the strongest argument, particularly for riders who want a single bike for commuting and weekend use.
More information is available through Segway’s official website.
