When Segway Takes the Turn into Electric Two-Wheelers

For quite some time, I've been eagerly anticipating the moment when Segway-Ninebot would unveil an electric bicycle! 

In 2021, Segway Ninebot China had teased us with the prospect of a hydrogen-powered motorcycle through a crowdfunding campaign—the APEX H2. Regrettably, it never saw the daylight despite the success of its prototype.

Segway-Ninebot is no newcomer to the e-moped market. In recent years, the company has entered the e-moped sector, first in China, followed by the introduction of several models in the European market. All the technology found in these models is also featured in the XYBER. It’s a proven and reliable technology, having been deployed across multiple markets and enhanced over time with the latest technological advancements.

SEGWAY INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM

AirLock is a wireless proximity security system for vehicles. It automatically locks and unlocks the vehicle based on the user's proximity, and triggers an alarm if tampering is detected.  The system can also be controlled manually via a mobile app or passcode.

Locate and control the XYBER remotely, monitor battery level and remaining range, track and record ride data, and sync with Apple Health and Google Health.

The  dual-component tracking system, using Apple Find My and Segway GPS, provides high-frequency location updates for continuous awareness of the bike's position.

Overall...

In entering the e-bike market, Segway-Ninebot possesses significant strengths: technological, logistical, and strategic. Leveraging Ninebot's acquired self-balancing technologies from Segway, substantial patents have been introduced with its lineup of scooters, kickscooters and gyropods. Segway Ninebot's smart bikes will encapsulate these technologies. However, challenges remain, as the brand is yet to win over all audiences.

With its experience gained in the Chinese market through numerous e-moped models, the XYBER enters the fat e-bike/e-moped category. For a first model of its kind, its technology is top-notch, and its design is, of course, impressive. At Ninebot, engineers and designers are known for creating beautiful machines. Its availability for pre-order in the U.S. will also serve as a test for its future launch in the European market. Old Europe may regret the 25 km/h (15.5 mph) speed limit, which seems like a waste unless Ninebot surprises us with a 45 km/h (28 mph) version. As for the U.S., there will likely be two versions: one limited to 20 mph (32 km/h) and another to 28 mph (45 km/h). It’s worth noting that the XYBER in China is limited to 25 km/h (15.5 mph).
