Moped-style eBikes all share the same basic appeal: motorcycle-inspired looks, fat tires and a throttle that makes short trips fun. Look closer at the spec sheets, though, and the differences are big. This guide compares the Segway Xyber Air with three popular alternatives, the SUPER73 MZFT SE, the SUPER73 Z Miami SE and the Macfox X7, so you can see where each one stands out and which fits the way you ride.

Xyber Air specs are from the Segway Xyber Air product page. Competitor specs and prices are as listed on each brand’s website on November 2, 2026, and may change. Each brand measures range under different conditions, so claimed ranges are not directly comparable. *Class 3 and 28 mph pedal assist where permitted by law; Hybrid mode is not available in California.
Riding Classes and Speed: The Biggest Difference
The Xyber Air is the only bike in this group that can be set as a Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 eBike. That means up to 20 mph with the throttle and up to 28 mph with pedal assist in Class 3, where permitted by law. A Hybrid mode combines throttle to 20 mph with pedal assist to 28 mph, where permitted by law (not available in California).
The SUPER73 MZFT SE, SUPER73 Z Miami SE and Macfox X7 are each listed as Class 2 eBikes with a 20 mph top speed. SUPER73 also notes that its bikes sold after January 1, 2025 are limited to Class 2 mode when paired with the SUPER73 app.
If you want the option of faster pedal-assisted riding on roads where Class 3 is allowed, this is the clearest reason to choose the Xyber Air.
Motor, Battery and Range
The Xyber Air and the MZFT SE both use a 750 W rated motor, and Segway lists up to 80 Nm of torque for the Xyber Air. The Macfox X7 and Z Miami SE use 500 W rated motors.
On battery size, the MZFT SE leads with a 780 Wh pack, followed by the Xyber Air at 717 Wh, the Macfox X7 at 624 Wh and the Z Miami SE at 480 Wh. The MZFT SE and Macfox X7 can also be set up with a second battery for more range.
Claimed range is where you need to read the fine print. Segway rates the Xyber Air for up to 58 miles. SUPER73 rates the MZFT SE at 20 to 25 miles and the Z Miami SE at 25 to 35 miles, measured at 20 mph on the throttle alone. Macfox lists up to 35 miles for the X7 on a single battery. Because each brand tests differently, use these numbers as a rough guide. Your real-world range will depend on rider weight, assist level, throttle use, terrain and temperature.
Smart Features and Anti-Theft
This is where the Xyber Air goes furthest. It includes:
- AirLock: keyless locking and unlocking, including proximity and remote unlock.
- Apple Find My: locate the bike through Apple’s Find My network.
- GPS location tracking: available with a subscription in the Segway Mobility App.
- OTA updates: new features and firmware delivered wirelessly.
- Rider aids: Traction Control System, Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist.
- A 600-lumen headlight and a tail light with brake signal.
Network and cloud-based services are free for the first year and require a subscription after that.
The SUPER73 MZFT SE has its own practical touches, including a digital display, USB-C device charging and internal lockable storage. The Macfox X7 has an LCD display that shows speed, battery life and mileage. GPS tracking and keyless anti-theft features are not listed for the three competitors on their brands’ websites.

Ride, Brakes and Comfort
- Tires: the Xyber Air rolls on 20 × 4.0-inch tires. The Macfox X7 uses wider 20 × 4.5-inch front and 20 × 5.0-inch rear tires, and the MZFT SE uses 16 × 4.5-inch tires.
- Suspension: the Xyber Air has an 80 mm front suspension. SUPER73 lists adjustable front suspension on both of its models, and the Macfox X7 has an adjustable hydraulic hybrid spring fork. The Xyber Air, Z Miami SE and Macfox X7 have no rear suspension.
- Brakes: the Xyber Air uses two-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors front and rear. The MZFT SE steps up to four-piston hydraulic brakes, the Z Miami SE uses two-piston hydraulic brakes and the Macfox X7 uses hydraulic disc brakes.
Weight, Payload and Fit
The Z Miami SE is the clear lightweight here at 59 lbs, which makes a real difference if you carry your bike up stairs or lift it onto a rack. The Xyber Air (84 lbs), MZFT SE (85 lbs) and Macfox X7 (87 lbs) are all in the same heavier class.
The Xyber Air supports a 330 lb max payload, the same figure Macfox lists for the X7. SUPER73 lists rider weight limits of 250 lbs for the MZFT SE and 325 lbs for the Z Miami SE. Segway recommends the Xyber Air for riders 4’8″ to 6′, while SUPER73 recommends the MZFT SE for riders 4’10” to 5’10”.
Price and Value
At an MSRP of $1,999.99, the Xyber Air sits between the Macfox X7 and the two SUPER73 models. Macfox lists the X7 at $1,699, and SUPER73 lists the MZFT SE at $2,395 and the Z Miami SE at $2,695.
The Macfox X7 is the lowest-cost option in this group. The Xyber Air costs more but adds selectable riding classes, a larger battery and a full set of connected and anti-theft features. Compared with both SUPER73 models, it costs less while offering Class 3 capability and those same connected features.
