Title: Segway Dirt EBike
Post by: stargazerinwg on February 18, 2020, 10:20:22 PM

Does anyone have more information or insight into what Segway is doing with their Dirt EBike?  I came across this the other day and have been trying to research it.

https://www.segway.com/dirt-ebike/ (https://www.segway.com/dirt-ebike/)

It looks like this man is related to the development or otherwise some way.

https://www.sur-ronusa.com/ (https://www.sur-ronusa.com/)

Peak torque of 23.6 ft. lbs. at 5400 rpm and zero to 31 in 4 seconds sounds pretty powerful and impressive.

In any case, the X260 looks like it would be a fully capable dirt bike that weighs 120 pounds.  They appear to be shipping in March.

Will electricmotorcycleforum make a board for this model?

Update:

Here's a link that explains more about Segway and Sur Ron:

I totally drool over the Sur-ron Light Bee. If I had a spare £4k I'd have one tomorrow.

Cas :)

I agree - seems like this is a market that could really take off.  The videos comparing the Sur Ron with ICE dirt bikes are awesome.
