Make 2025 the year you spend more time on a bike. Whether for exercise, peace of mind, or free parking, life on two wheels can unlock a full season of fun and fitness.
And if you’re looking for the right ride to make it all happen — something both comfortable and convenient — take a look at the Segway Xafari. No doubt you’ve witnessed the e-bike craze take hold everywhere. But if you’ve thought the trend too clunky, complicated, or convoluted, think again.
Segway, the brand that developed intelligent assistive mobility before e-bikes hit it big, set its sights on an intuitive, versatile cycling solution for every day and every rider. The Xafari builds on the simple, stable step-through platform with a suite of performance and tech extras.
If you’re looking for an approachable, capable e-bike to ferry you through town (and a few spontaneous detours) with built-in accessories to simplify life in the fun lane, read on for a look at what the Segway Xafari has to offer.
Segway Xafari: E-Bike for the Fun of It
App > Gear
If the hassles of making your way about town by bike have kept you tethered to the gas pump, worry no more! No need for a bike map, phone holder, lights, cycling computer, and a lock (although you still need a helmet).
In place of all those scattered, expensive doodads is a single, free alternative: The Segway-Ninebot app, a control center, route-planner, bike-finder, security system, and health monitor all in one. This app — when paired with the Xafari — has everything you need for a safe, secure ride.
Set your destination and load directions into the integrated cockpit computer, receive alerts if there’s unauthorized movement on your bike, see your bike’s location if it’s lost, and view maintenance alerts. The Segway-Ninebot app not only has everything to make the most of your e-bike, it will also help boost you, too. Use the app to sync up all your ride data and metrics with your smartphone’s health app.
And most conveniently, the bike engages built-in mechanical and electronic locks when you park it, so leave the heavy hardware at home. And when you — and the app — return, the Xafari automatically unlocks. Goodbye, keys!
Ride Longer
Speaking of gear you won’t need, you can leave the strap-on bike lights in the junk drawer. The Xafari is equipped with onboard head- and tail lights. The Xafari’s Intelligent Lighting System uses sensors to detect ambient light and adjust the bike’s lights automatically.
From low-brightness daytime running lights to 1,300-lumen high beams for visibility in full darkness, the Xafari will adapt as necessary. Plus, the integrated tail lights also function as brake lights, which signal braking to traffic and riders behind you.
Those lights will come in handy for long days in the saddle. With a maximum range of 88 miles, you’ll have battery enough to explore from day into night. Plus, the 936Wh battery carries an IPX7 water-resistance rating, so you can ride in any weather.
And don’t forget, a battery is a battery after all. If your phone or accessories need a little top-off, you can plug them directly into the A/C port in the frame.
Comfort, Convenience
All the tech in the world won’t matter if you’re not comfortable. To absorb all the bumps and potholes along the way, the Xafari has 70mm of rear travel suspension, and 80mm of front suspension with eight levels of step-less damping adjustment (and full lockout).
And don’t stress about your measurements; the Xafari’s adjustable seat, stem, and display screen will accommodate riders from 5’1″ up to 6’2″. For those ferrying more than themselves, the built-in rear rack will haul up to 55 pounds.
Regardless of how and where you ride, you can dial in your pedal assist for ease, speed, or fun. The motor packs a stout 750W of assisted throttle power if you want it; choose from 12 different levels of assist.
Or, let Segway’s trademark gyroscopic tech adapt to the inclines and your pedaling automatically.
Bike Smarter, Not Harder
Going for a bike ride should be fun — it doesn’t have to be excruciating. And it certainly doesn’t require a closet full of expensive gear.
The Segway Xafari is designed to simplify the ride while enhancing the experience. Part utility, part comfort, and just enough tech to turn a few heads, the Xafari offers an easy way to tame life on two wheels.
