Segway X160 & X260 Review: Electric Dirt Bikes for Beginners
Segway X160 & X260 Review: Electric Dirt Bikes for Beginners
Segway's electric dirt bikes — the X160 and X260 — bring a familiar brand name into the eMoto space. They are positioned as entry-level machines for riders who want something less intimidating than a Sur-Ron or Talaria. Here is how they stack up for UK buyers.
Segway X160: the youth/entry model
| Peak power | 3kW |
| Top speed | ~31mph |
| Battery | 48V removable lithium |
| Weight | ~46kg |
| Wheels | 16in front / 14in rear |
| Use | Off-road only |
The X160 is Segway's smallest electric dirt bike — light at 46kg, low seat height, and a top speed around 31mph that keeps it manageable for teens and smaller adults. The 48V system is less powerful than a Sur-Ron Light Bee X but delivers smooth, predictable power that suits a first-time rider. Build quality is clean and well-finished, as you would expect from Segway.
Segway X260: the adult step-up
| Peak power | 5kW |
| Top speed | ~47mph |
| Battery | 60V removable lithium |
| Weight | ~55kg |
| Wheels | 19in front / 16in rear |
| Use | Off-road only |
The X260 steps up to a 60V system with 5kW of peak power and around 47mph. It competes directly with the Sur-Ron Light Bee X on paper, though the Light Bee X's 6kW motor and larger aftermarket give it an edge for experienced riders. The X260's strength is its fit and finish — Segway's design and assembly quality is polished, and the bike feels premium out of the box.
Segway vs Sur-Ron vs Talaria
The honest comparison: the Segway X260 is a well-built entry bike that competes with the Light Bee X on specs but cannot match its aftermarket, community or resale value. The Segway X160 sits below the Light Bee X in power and price. If you want the established platform with the biggest parts ecosystem, buy a Sur-Ron. If you want a polished, reliable machine from a global brand and don't plan to heavily modify it, the Segway is a solid choice — particularly the X260 for adults or the X160 for younger or smaller riders.
Are Segway electric dirt bikes road legal?
No. Both the X160 and X260 are off-road, private-land machines. See our road legal guide for models that are.
