Segway has created an eco-friendly Dirt eBike for adrenaline junkies with a conscience

Bike it or not

Segway, the electric vehicle company best known for, well, the Segway, has created an electric dirt bike for off-road junkies with a soft spot for planet Earth. Imaginatively christened the Segway Dirt eBike, the compact, eco-friendly motorcycle sits somewhere between a mountain bike and traditional dirt bike in terms of performance, and delivers peak torque of 23.6 ft lb with maximum 5400 rpm that operates up to 356°F. It should also be capable of blitzing through the hills and tackling trails at solid speeds, and can accelerate from 0 to 31 mph in precisely 4.02 seconds. As you’d expect from an off-roader, it’s also water resistant and durable, and is capable of going to distance thanks to a 74.5 mile range battery that can be charge in around 4 hours.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
