[Ninebot](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000p5a/ninebot) Segway debuted three electric motorcycle lines at EICMA Milan on November 3, 2026: the ORCA concept, the XABER off-road series and the X CRUISER urban models. The X CRUISER line is expected to launch in China and Europe between 2027 and 2028, [36kr](https://eu.36kr.com/en/p/4069048951739522) reported. ## Ninebot's Three Segway Lines at EICMA The SEGWAY ORCA CONCEPT, co-designed with Hardline27, the studio founded by designer Sasha Selipanov, uses an 800V high-voltage platform, a battery close to 20kWh and an electric drive with a maximum power of 60kW. Ninebot said the concept targets a range of 300km, a top speed of over 180km/h and 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.5 seconds, with maximum DC charging power of 48kW. Ninebot notes that these figures do not represent mass production specifications. The XABER X1000, the engineering platform for the X-series, has competed in the 2025 and 2026 Dakar Future Mission 1000 challenges. The mass production platform has three models: the XABER 350, launched in Chinese mainland with a 72V 54Ah battery and a peak power of 23kW; the XABER 300, launched in North America with a peak power of 21kW; and the upcoming XABER 300 DS for Europe. The X CRUISER is built on automotive crash conditions, with a cage or semi-cage body, four-way crash protection and seatbelt restraint, plus BSD blind spot monitoring and LCW lane change warning. It integrates two-wheeler intellectual property and proprietary knowledge authorized by [BMW Group](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000s6d/bmw-group), with Ninebot responsible for full vehicle development, certification and launch. The line is fitted with Michelin City Grip tires and has a planned range of nearly 200km. ## Michelin's Dakar Sponsorship and Tire Deal Michelin became the official technical sponsor of the SEGWAY Dakar factory team at the exhibition, the first time Michelin has officially sponsored a new energy electric motorcycle Dakar team. The two sides will use the Dakar Rally as a joint R&D and real verification platform to evaluate the electric powertrain under extreme conditions and the matching, durability and energy efficiency of tires and the whole vehicle. On October 23, Ninebot and [Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin SCA](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000aqt/compagnie-generale-des-etablissements-michelin-sca) signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement at Ninebot's Changzhou base covering original equipment matching, tire R&D, after-sales replacement and offline service network. Segway plans to prioritize Michelin original equipment tires on its mass-produced high-end performance motorcycles. ## Ninebot's Overseas Revenue and Funding Record Ninebot's 2025 annual report shows overseas revenue of 7.928 billion yuan, up 37.35% year on year and accounting for 37.26% of total revenue, with a gross profit margin on overseas sales of 36.01%.
