Segway-Ninebot unveils two high-performance e-bikes: Xafari & Xyber
In the dynamic realm of electric mobility (e-mobility), China-based Segway-Ninebot has once again captivated eco-conscious consumers with the unveiling of its latest high-performance e-bikes: the Xafari and Xyber. Amidst the rising trend of moto-inspired e-bikes, the Chinese manufacturer has stepped into the spotlight with a promise of elevated personal electric riding experiences, blending the thrill of a motorcycle with the convenience and eco-friendliness of e-bicycles.
First in the spotlight is the Ninebot Xafari, a name that itself echoes exploration and adventure. Designed and developed to offer SUV-like comfort to riders, it comes equipped with front and rear suspension and adaptable ergonomic elements catering to varied shapes and sizes. The list of tech-savvy enhancements includes Active Scene Perception, which vigorously adjusts motor assistance based on the condition of roads and rider input.
The Xafari also boasts anti-theft features like GPS tracking, location-based alarms, and AirLock technology to ensure security. The Xafari integrates flawlessly with health apps through a color display with smart applications for ride stats, and combines a low-step frame with a strong 913Wh battery pack. With a potent 750W hub motor and three-inch-wide rubber, it promises an unmatched riding experience on both city streets and rugged trails. Thus, it will cater to demands of both daily urban commuters and off-road enthusiasts.
Taking the riding experience and excitement a notch higher, Ninebot introduced the Xyber, which comes equipped with a powerful hub motor boasting a claimed torque of 175 Nm (130 pound-feet). While detailed power specifications are yet to be revealed, it is quite evident that this model outshines its sibling in terms of sheer power. The Xyber has a substantial 1,440Wh battery that promises an impressive range of 95 miles on a single charge. With a dual-suspension setup and a motorcycle-style double-cradle frame, it radiates a healthy and moto-inspired persona. The long saddle and dual-crown fork of the e-bike further augment its striking features.
In spite of the anticipation surrounding the Xafari and Xyber, Segway-Ninebot has kept the full specs and pricing details for both e-bikes under wraps. However, industry insiders suggest that both of these e-bikes are slated to hit the U.S. market before the end of this year. Enthusiasts eagerly await more information as the company continues to fuel excitement in the e-biking landscape, promising an exciting fusion of performance, technology and innovation.
