The Segway X260 is based off of the Sur-Ron X electric dirt bike. Segway is a large shareholder within the Sur-Ron Company and as a result, they have developed the Segway X260. Aside from some unique styling, the X260 is very similar to the Sur-Ron X. The biggest difference between these two bikes lies within the Segway Ninebot App. The Segway app connects to the bike via bluetooth and allows the rider to select different speed modes and fine tune the power on the bike. Within speed modes, the app features "Twisting Force" which represents the way that the bike reacts to the riders throttle input and "Limited" is the amount of power that the bike receives in sport mode. "Energy recovery level" is another option with the app that allows you to tune the regenerative braking that this e bike provides. The Segway X260 comes with a DNM Volcano Front Fork and a DNM Rear Shock.

You can easily change the ReGen on the Surron as well. No app but you just do it with presses of the break leaver. You can select three ReGen levels or just turn it off on the Surron

I also keep it above 90% if storing for longer periods without riding. I’d definitely reach out to Luna if it’s newer.

[@paulkitchen5802]

I am an advanced motorcycle street rider. I recently got a KTM 1190 adventure hoping to venture to the off road. When I realized its been 40 years since I even came close to any trail and I was breaking every rule I teach new riders. Start off light and relatively lower power. Even when I put the best off road tires on my bike I will still be on a 500 lbs 125 Hp monster trying to learn off road technique. I am still between this and a KTM 390 ICE not far off in price until you add in all the dealer fees for the KTM. Plus like you mentioned several times how quite it is so I can ride a few miles from my house and practice in a new development and not call attention to myself. Great review and information!

That Pike's Peak metric should be a standard measurement! Good job thinking of that. It really illustrates the strength or weakness of the regen offer. When you mentioned changing the tube, that might be a helpful thing to see. I've changed tubes on a dirt bike and on a mountain bike, curious as to how something like this would differ.

[@BrianLampright913]

Another great review, thanks guys! Very interesting your re-gen test, please post it, it's a valid test and people should know. I'm actually headed up tonight above Ogden, Utah on a 3000+ ft elevation gain trail ride (first ride on the surron) and I'm going to record battery level at top, and then at the bottom to see if there is any distinguishable gain. Low expectations after hearing your remarks. And my test is not a constant DH like Pikes Peak is....so now I'm expecting that I won't see any range gain in our decent due to all the flat sections. I'll come back and post my results. I wonder if the Surron can even do a 3k elevation gain ride? LOL. We'll find out!

[@BrianLampright913]

Samuel Bona what kind of bike rack? This thing weighs over 100lbs so if it’s a bicycle rack it better be a really beefy one. I could probably meet up for a ride in about a week....sorry this week is jam packed.

[@BrianLampright913]

We took the SurRons up a single track trail ride last night with 3000 ft elevation gain and a total of about 16 miles. My wife and dad rode them (pretty slowly) and I was shocked at the range. I rode a dirt bike with them. I was expecting the 3k of elevation to kill the battery, but after 3k ft of climbing over 8 miles they both had 60% battery. During the first 1000’ descent they gained 6% and range went up to 66% from regen. Then rest of the ride had flat areas and not as much DH and when we got to the truck they had 65% battery. I was very impressed by this, was expecting much worse. This means even with big elevation gains you could ride about 30 miles if you aren’t wide open fast riding. I will be posting a video and I’ll take it up again and ride myself at a much faster pace to compare the results of a MX racer riding one vs my wife. :) might want to follow me if you are interested in seeing these videos in about a week.

Depends upon the state. Some states rate ebikes based upon wattage, if they have pedal assist and if you get that assist when pedaling only or if by throttle alone as well. They typically have mph caps too, usually around 20. Regardless, check your state laws.

youtube algorithm showed me this and I love this Sur-ron. But it is over my budget. Can you review X-Class from Ariel Rider E-bikes ?

[@Noadvantage246]

This is pretty much as cheap as it gets while still being worth getting imo. You should probably just save up for it or if you're really strapped get the bafang 1000w motor and convert an used MTB. With some tinkering, a overclock, and gearing you can make a bike just as fast or slightly faster than this for less. Of course it's going to be a much more involved process.

[@ElectricCycleRider]

@Mayhem Mahan I've ridden the Yamaha SR250 before and that is one great little bike. So bulletproof! If that's what you're thinking of, the Segway will have more torque off the line up to about 40mph but the SR250 will pull far away when the speeds get higher. The Segway weighs less than half of an SR250 and feels that way when you're riding. If you're thinking of a Honda XR250, most of the same thoughts apply 😂 Another bulletproof bike that will be beat off the line but will pass the Segway at higher speeds. More range. Heavier and not as nimble. Hope this helps!

Question. Can you run a full circuit under free coast and then again under dynamic braking and compare the times and battery % drain?

[@goose4342]

I haven't rode since my early 20's but I'm just curious how would this fair speed wise vs a 125 2 stroke? Since electric motors get all their torque at once seems like it would be easy for this thing to get away from with it's light weight.

[@ElectricCycleRider]

@Steven Vaughn It's a very different experience than a 125 2 stroke because it has a very linear power curve, whereas a 125 is a bit of a light switch depending what RPM you're in. It's a very easy bike to ride. Probably easier than a 110 4 stroke. And really similar in power too. The Segway / Surron comes on quicker than a 110 in power but it's very tame overall in comparison to a MX bike. You should try one out Steven!

Sur Ron sells a pedal kit for the bike, so you could put that on and beat a ticket, arguing it's pedal assisted. Here in NYC, if an ebike is pedal assisted and goes under 25mph, it counts as a bicycle. You'd then be able to ride unregistered and without a helmet.

Depends on country, in Canada, it has to be a max of 500 watts, can only reach 32 kph after a certain distance, it must have pedals and there are a few other things. I use ebike controllers with a 3 speed switch, in low bike is street legal, because of the pre-set power level in the controller. Most set them 50%/75% and 100 %. but there are many controllers you can program, yoyangking makes many bluetooth models, ebikes.ca has a compter programable one, the most features of any controller, based on a controller made in Canada by OSI. You really have to check your local laws to be certain, if USA, each state is different.

What a helpful video, Tucker, thanks so much for posting! I'm a quad enthusiast and am considering an electric dirt bike because they're so much quieter. We ride on legal, private property but new homes are going up close by. I ride in similar conditions as you. Did you replace your Segway's fork yet? If so, what did you get and would you recommend it? Thanks and keep the great videos coming. :)

[@ElectricCycleRider]

@Michelle Procaccini-Roberts Thank you! Yes, I have tried a few fork options. More to come on that but it really boils down to how much you want to spend. You can revalve the fork and shock (just posted a video about that) or if you have the money, the Fox 40 has been a really nice option. Appreciate the support!

[@garrettbowman8125]

Where would you recommend buying an eBike and what options would be recommended for lower budget / starter bike? I would love to get my hands on an eBike but I dont have a lot of disposable income to drop all at one time, and im hesitant on wasting money on a bike that will break or I won't be able to warranty or repair myself.

[@Noadvantage246]

It's definitely affordable to literally everyone at that price. The real question is how bad do you want one and how much would you be willing to save/sacrifice for it? Even if you don't make much it'd probably only take a year or 2 tops to scrape together enough for one.

Why is Segway $1500 more than Sur Ron X. The Segway app+ speed controller isnt worth that is it?

[@gmy33]

maybe they bring it to europe .. surron is $5k overhere .. something with import and such ..

[@aflacduck2]

I say no. For far far less than $1,400 you can get an ERT BAC8000 controller + NXT screen and get all those features and more along with a 300 amp capable controller. Check out Jack Cecils Sur Ron videos and you'll see. I would not buy a Segway Sur Ron for $5,000 when you can wait a bit, save $1,400 and buy the best controller on the market AND STILL have money left over for tires and brakes.

[@jackgillin]

Hi I work for Segway and we are not $1,500 different. We are much more price competitive than that plus our version has lights ($250 from Luna) and ride by wire ($ not sure but it’s more!) - want more than black? We have silver, red and blue. Double check our specs and value point and national presence.

[@aflacduck2]

@@jackgillin What can you possibly have changed to make the $1500 worth it? Btw my factory sur ron has ride by wire. Afaik the Segway light is the same as the sur ron. And it was $200(not $250, stop being sleazy and be honest if you are going to represent Segway). So what else? I dont see anything. If anything I want someone to open up a Segway battery pack and make sure you guys didnt cheap out on literally half the cost of the bike. Considering I KNOW sur ron sells these for $2300 before shipping, tariffs and fees. I think you guys are just trying to make fast cash. I hope you dont destroy this amazing platform from your greedy bean counters.

[@jackgillin]

TTmore 1. You are inflating the price difference 2. You aren’t comparing exact apples to apples 3. You have direct imported a bto option most likely. Good luck on doing this on an ongoing basis. It’s fraught with difficulties. 4. You didn’t mention the lights that we include standard compared to the Luna X 5. I do really work for Segway directly and we are the largest shareholder of this platform - so we put our money where our mouth is. www.linkedin.com/in/jackgillin/ 6. We are bringing awareness to this category in a major way 7. We compare very fabourably within our category and even outside of our category. 8. Luna only reduced their prices when we came into the market... 9. Your sleazy and bean counter remarks are the least intelligent arguments that you put forward... without substantiation 10 Watch Tucker’s video again - we come out pretty well.

[@toybotgaming9634]

When it comes to Regen, I think it suffers a naming problem. You are right, it doesn't regen well at all. However, I love how much it slows the bike down. I miss it when using EP mode on my Sur Ron. It should just be called Motor Braking and I think most of the criticism goes away.

[@dylanwebber763]

Well put. I live in a hilly town and I use the regen solely to slow me down on steep downhills in the interest of not wearing the brakes out

[@toybotgaming9634]

@@dylanwebber763 I just love the feel. To me the bike seems alot more stable under Motor Braking than without it. I think not having to use the brakes and whatever little Regen are just tiny little sprinkles ontop of the nice cake of stability when cruising. For the intense fast stuff it doesn't really exist but sometimes I like to have my 3.5 y/o son ride 2 up with me and the Motor Braking is super nice in those cases :)

[@KenjiFox]

It is called Regenerative braking. It does take kinetic energy and convert it back into electricity. The name is accurate.

[@toybotgaming9634]

@@KenjiFox Hmmmm I would still disagree. For it to have the Regen part, it would need to actually have Regen play a role. Even with Teslas, they currently do not actually Regen well at all. This has to do with batteries not liking that much energy at once so most of it turns into waste heat in the controller. At best you can say EGB(Electric Generating Brakes) cause the energy is not really being Regen back in a meaningful enough way right now.

How long does the battery last for. What happens when you are out riding in the pine Barron's and the battery dies? Are you done for the day? I usually ride all day when I go out. I thought when the quiet cat came out it was a cool bike to use to get to the tree stand and served a purpose but I just don't get it and I'm not hating on it but I think it takes away from the experience of what a dirt bike should be like. Just my two cents.
