What the Experts Are Saying
Electrek
Electrek spent time on the bike for its full review and came away convinced. “This isn’t a toy, and it isn’t a science project – it’s a legitimate lightweight electric motorcycle from a company with the scale to support it,” the review concludes. It also credits the electronics as the main difference from rival e-motos. Read the Electrek review.
RideApart
RideApart used the Xaber 300 to teach a first-time rider and found it well suited to the job. “What the Segway Xaber 300 offers is an entry point, with tailored power delivery, high tech functionality, solid components and easy operation,” the writer says. Read the RideApart feature.
RunPlayBack
RunPlayBack published a written review alongside its video and called the Xaber 300 “one of the most advanced electric dirt bikes I’ve spent time on—and when you focus on the ride, it delivers.” The review also flags early software issues, which we cover below. Read the RunPlayBack review.
The Gadgeteer
The Gadgeteer focused on the bike’s tech, especially the virtual clutch. It describes “a virtual Electronic Clutch that simulates a mechanical clutch feel, which is a real concession to motorcycle riders.” Read The Gadgeteer article.
Freshly Charged
Freshly Charged added the Xaber 300 to its guide to electric dirt bikes for heavy riders, citing its 330-lb payload. After a session on a motocross track, it says the bike won over “two experienced riders who came in skeptical and left impressed.” Read the Freshly Charged guide.
What YouTube Riders Found
Video reviews are the best way to see and hear the Xaber 300 on real terrain.
Zay Solis
Well-known eMoto creator Zay Solis took the Xaber 300 to a private dirt track he built for I Jumped My New Dirt Bike Over a Tree, a video made in paid partnership with Segway. After a session on the jumps, he says, “The bike actually feels kind of nimble for how big it is.” He also tries the virtual clutch, tests traction control through the Segway app and singles out the brakes and the beefy rotors.
Zay is an experienced rider on a prepared private track. Big jumps like these are dangerous, so ride within your ability, wear full protective gear and follow local rules.
