The verdict
The Xaber 300 is Segway's first full-size electric dirt bike and the successor to the X260. Segway lists 21 kW peak, a 72V 44Ah (3.17 kWh) battery with Samsung 50S cells, 187 lbs, Marzocchi suspension and 220 mm rotors, for $5,299.99 on November 12, 2026, in stock. The catch: most dealers add a $200+ destination fee, and the warranty and top speed weren't clear on the page we read.
What we like
- 21 kW peak from Segway's own X720 controller
- 72V 44Ah, 3.17 kWh, Samsung 50S cells
- 187 lbs, 0.25 kW/kg power-to-weight (Segway)
- Tunable Marzocchi suspension, 4-piston brakes, 220 mm x 3 mm rotors
- Selectable 150/200/300/Beast modes, dealer network
The catch
Segway notes that most dealers add a $200+ destination fee. The warranty term and an official top speed weren't on the page we read.
Who it is for, who should skip it
Buy it if
- You want a big brand and a local dealer
- You like selectable power modes for different riders
- You want 21 kW without going over $5,500
Skip it if
- You want the lightest bike: the Light Bee class is 50+ lbs lighter
- You want a road-legal option
Segway grows up
The X160 and X260 were Segway's light dirt bikes. The Xaber 300 is a different animal: 21 kW peak from a Segway-developed X720 controller, a 2.4-inch TFT display and an aerospace aluminum frame with a listed torsional rigidity of 1,621.4 Nm/deg.

Battery and modes
The 72V 44Ah pack holds 3.17 kWh with Samsung 50S cells and a 5C peak discharge rate, which Segway says prevents power fade. You pick 150, 200, 300 or Beast mode, so one bike can suit a learner and a fast rider.
Bought through dealers
Segway sells the Xaber 300 through dealers, with pickup or delivery. Segway's own page warns most dealers apply a $200+ destination fee. That's part of the real price.
What Segway leaves out
Here's the honest part. On the store page we read, Segway lists the power, the battery and the 187 lb weight, but no seat height, no top speed, no range, no charging time and no warranty term. That's why the Xaber 300 sits lower in our ranking than its 21 kW and 3,170 Wh deserve: our formula scores every missing figure 2/10.
None of that means the bike is bad. It means you should get those numbers in writing from the dealer before you pay. Ask for the seat height (it decides whether a 5'6" rider can touch down), the charge time with the included charger, and the warranty on the frame, motor and battery, separately. Ask, too, whether the $200+ destination fee Segway mentions is already in the dealer's quote.
If the answers are good, the Xaber 300 becomes a strong buy: a big-brand bike with a dealer network, four power modes for a mixed-skill family, and a battery with real capacity. If the dealer can't answer, look at the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee or the Talaria Komodo, which publish more.
How the Segway Xaber 300 earns its 8.1
Our formula gives each of seven criteria a score out of 10 from the published figure, then weighs them. Here is the Segway Xaber 300's line, with each criterion's weight in the overall score.
| Criterion | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Price, against the catalog median (dated, US) | 7.3/10 | 25% |
| Peak motor power (kW) | 8.9/10 | 15% |
| Battery energy (Wh) | 7.4/10 | 15% |
| Weight with battery (lighter is better) | 5.7/10 | 15% |
| Published warranty | 2.0/10 (not stated) | 10% |
| Road status (brand wording) | 4.0/10 | 10% |
| Charging time (published) | 2.0/10 (not stated) | 10% |
Weighted together, that's 8.1/10 on our published scale, No. 11 of 14. Anything marked not stated scores 2/10: publish the figure and the score goes up. The full formula is on our methodology page.

What's in the box
The bike, battery and charger, prepared by a Segway dealer.
Getting started
Dealer setup and handover. Ask them to set the mode for your skill level and show you the app and security features.
Whatever bike you buy, set the softest mode for the first rides, check every bolt after the first few hours, and keep the battery charged between 20 and 80% when you store it, unless the manual says otherwise.
Hidden costs
The $200+ destination fee, gear, wear parts and dealer service.
Plan the total, not the sticker: freight or dealer prep, a full set of gear (helmet, goggles, boots, gloves, armor; see our safety gear guide), a stand, and wear parts. Road rules vary by state; read are electric dirt bikes street legal? before you ride on public roads.
Questions to ask the seller
- What's the out-the-door price with destination fees?
- What warranty does Segway give on the Xaber 300?
- What's the top speed in each mode?
- How long is a full charge?
