Segway Xafari
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

- Class 3 mode is not accessible in certain states, such as California.

- The stated height range is 5’1” to 6’2”, but a 5’3” tester finds the bike too large, and a 6” tester finds it too small.
- Adjusting the coil shock requires disassembling the lower mount.
- The cabling in the front blocks the headlight.

Bottom line
The Segway Xafari is a Class 2 or 3-compliant commuter e-bike with full suspension and 3" tires. It's very heavy, but its powerful motor, smooth assist, long battery range, and effective brakes earn praise. Unfortunately, the overbuilt full-suspension system offers minimal adjustment and will make servicing a challenge. The bike is packed with tech and security features, but testers feel these make for a complex user experience, and some features are buggy. All in all, opinions are split on the Xafari's value.Expert Reviews
