Check price at Boca ScootersIf you have searched for a "Segway Xyber 300", the reason you found conflicting answers is that the product does not exist. Segway sells two different machines with confusingly similar names, and it merchandises them in a single store category covering both electric dirt bikes and off-road e-bikes.
- The Xyber is a fat-tyre electric bicycle, with pedals, that Segway's own product page frames
around commuting.
- The Xaber 300 is an electric dirt bike — 72 V, 187 lb, no pedals, off-road.
They are not competitors. Choosing between them is choosing a category, not a model.

Why the confusion is manufactured
Two things do it.
The names. Xyber and Xaber differ by one letter, and both are Segway off-road products released in the same period.
The store category. Segway lists both under a single heading covering electric dirt bikes and off-road e-bikes. A shopper who lands there sees a fat-tyre bicycle beside a 60 mph dirt bike presented as variations on one theme. They are not.
We took search impressions for the phrase "segway xyber 300 vs surron ultra bee" before we had written anything about either product, which tells you people are genuinely trying to resolve this and finding nothing that does.
Which one is for you
Buy the Xaber 300 if you want a dirt bike
Seventy-two volts, 3,168 Wh, 600 Nm and 19-inch wheels, on a 187 lb chassis with a 33-inch seat. It is a genuine off-road machine in the Sur-Ron and Talaria class, and it competes on those terms — our Xaber 300 against the X260 covers where it sits in Segway's own line.
It has no pedals, which means in most US states it is not an e-bike under any class definition and is subject to off-road vehicle rules. Private land or an OHV area.
Consider the Xyber only if you actually want a bicycle
The Xyber is a competent fat-tyre e-bike with a big battery and, on Segway's own numbers, a very high top speed for the category. That last point is the thing to think about carefully: an e-bike doing 43 mph is far outside the speed ceilings that define legal e-bike classes in most US states. Pedals do not by themselves make a vehicle a bicycle in the eyes of the law, and a machine that exceeds the class limits is generally treated as a motor vehicle regardless of what it is sold as.
That is a legal question rather than a specification one, and it is worth settling before purchase rather than after. Our state-by-state guide has the rules where you live, and electric dirt bike versus e-bike covers the class definitions.
If you were cross-shopping against a Sur-Ron
The query that brought most people here compares one of these against an Ultra Bee. The honest mapping:
The Ultra Bee competes with the Xaber 300, not the Xyber. Both are 72 V off-road machines in the same price and performance territory, and that is a real comparison worth making. The Xyber is a different purchase entirely — closer to a powerful e-bike than to either of them.
The bottom line
There is no Xyber 300. There is a Xyber, which is a fat-tyre e-bike Segway markets for commuting, and a Xaber 300, which is a 72 V electric dirt bike. If you want to ride trails, you want the Xaber. If you want a bicycle that goes very fast, you want the Xyber and you want to check your state's e-bike class limits first, because 43 mph is not inside them.

FAQ
Is the Segway Xyber a dirt bike?
No. Segway sells it under its e-bike range and titles the product page around commuting. It is a 48 V fat-tyre electric bicycle with pedals, rated 3000 W with one battery and 6000 W with two. The Xaber 300 is the dirt bike: 72 V, 187 lb, no pedals, and sold as an off-road machine.
Is there a Segway Xyber 300?
No, and this is the root of the confusion. There is a Xyber and there is a Xaber 300, and Segway merchandises them together in a single store category covering both electric dirt bikes and off-road e-bikes. Searches for 'Xyber 300' are almost always aimed at one of the two real products.
How fast is the Segway Xyber?
Segway's own page states up to 43 mph with two batteries. Many third-party pages quote 35 mph, which reflects a different configuration. Either way it is a pedal-equipped e-bike operating well above the speed limits that define legal e-bike classes in most US states, which is a legal question rather than a specification one.
Which should I buy for trail riding?
The Xaber 300, if you want a dirt bike. It has 72 V, 3,168 Wh, 600 Nm and 19-inch wheels, and it is built for off-road use without pedals. The Xyber is a fat-tyre e-bike that can handle rough ground but is designed around commuting range and a bicycle riding position.
