Segway Xafari

What the Segway Xafari is built for

The Segway Xafari is a fat-tire e-bike whose wide tyres grip on sand, snow, gravel and rough trails.

It has a 750 W motor, 80 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 936 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 88 miles (142 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

In the United States the Segway Xafari sells for $1,500.

Where the Segway Xafari may be ridden

Segway Xafari is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) and Class 3 (pedal assist up to 28 mph) under the three-class system most US states use. Class 3 e-bikes are kept off some bike paths and trails, and several states set a minimum age and require a helmet for them. Riders can switch between classes in the settings, and the class it is ridden in decides where it may go.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Segway Xafari safety certification

The brand's listing for the Segway Xafari does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
