Segway brought some serious e-power to this year's CES.

The company launched several new products at CES 2025, all of them electric powered, including e-bikes, scooters, and a lawnmower.

The one that caught our eye is the Segway Xyber. a rugged-looking e-bike that looks like a serious racing machine, with massive tires, hydraulic brakes, and an imposing suspension system.

It looks fast, and it is. In Race Mode, it goes from 0 to 20 miles per hour in just 2.7 seconds, powered by Segway's 175Nm, 6,000 watt direct-drive motor. It's paired with a hefty, 2,880Wh dual-battery system, which should be enough for 112 miles of range. But it is, in fact, an e-bicycle, because it has pedals and 12-levels of pedal assistance. You can, however, completely rest your feet and operate it in throttle-only mode.

Other features include hydraulically damped front and rear suspension (with 110mm and 100mm of travel, respectively), Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, and those 20 x 5.0-inch tires with flat-resistant inserts.

The Xyber might not be road-legal in all jurisdictions (at least not without a permit), but Segway says a second version is coming, and that one will conform to class 2 e-bike requirements. It should launch in late spring or early summer of 2025.

If you're up for something more...well, bicycley, Segway also brought the Segway Xafari to Las Vegas. It's described as an "all-terrain electric cruiser," and it has 88 miles of range thanks to the included 936Wh battery. Other features of note are the dual suspension (80mm of travel in the front, 70mm in the rear), and 26 x 3.0-inch all-terrain tires.

Both bikes come with Segway's Intelligent Ride System, which is a suite of smart tech features such as Apple Find My support, remote monitoring via GPS, real-time health and fitness data syncing, and more. Both bikes have a multi-color, high-res (so says Segway, we don't have the exact resolution figures), 2.4-inch smart TFT display.

Now, for the prices. The Segway Xyber will cost $2,999.99), while the Xafari will retail for $2,399.99) when they hit the market, and pre-orders are open now at store.segway.com.

At CES 2025, Segway also brought seven new electric scooters. Perhaps the most interesting among the bunch is the top-of-the-line Segway Ninebot Max G3. It boasts a 28mph top speed, a 50-mile range, and a 0-15 mile acceleration of 2.4 seconds. Dual hydraulic shock absorbers are here to smooth out the road bumps, and most of Segway's Intelligent Ride System features are here, including a multi-function TFT display. Price is unknown at this time, and availability starts in the spring of 2025.

Another interesting new addition to Segway's e-scooter lineup is the GT3 Pro, which can go from 0 to 30mph in 3.9 seconds in Ultra Boost Mode, with a top speed of 49.7 miles per hour, and a range of up to 86 miles. It's powered by dual 3,500 watt motors, and has a massive, 2,160mAh battery. Other features of note include the dual-piston, hydraulic disc breaks, a dual coil-suspension, and 11-inch, self-healing tires. We also don't know the price for the GT3 Pro, but we do know it will launch in the spring.

The company also refreshed its lineup with the F3 and F3 Pro commuters, and the ER and E3 Pro scooters, with focus on portability. All of the new scooters will be available in the spring or summer of 2025.

Finally, Segway also launched the Segway Navimow X3, a robotic lawn mower which can cover up to 5,000 square meters of lawn in 24 hours. It can conquer slopes up to 27 degrees, and can also trim your lawn's edges so you can have a nice lawn without putting in nearly any work.

The announcement follows a year of high-profile internet blackouts that hit several companies.

One of the most important TV shows of 2022, comedian Mo Amer's lauded Netflix series Mo returns for a second season at the end of January.

Created by Amer with Ramy Youssef, and directed by Solvan "Slick" Naim, Season 1 focused on protagonist Mo Najjar (played by Amer), a Palestinian refugee living in Houston with his family, awaiting the result of his asylum case.

Season 2 picks up with Mo, who's been stranded in Mexico for six months, without a passport and a way to get back to his family in the United States. Though he's continually questioned over his yearning to cross the border, Mo keeps on keeping on, finding levity even after learning that his girlfriend Maria (Teresa Ruiz) has started dating someone else, and when he's threatened with deportation after a border crossing goes awry.

This season, Farah Bsieso returns as Yusra, Mo's mother, alongside Omar Elba as Sameer, Mo's brother, and Hannibal Buress, Liza Koshy, Matt Rife, Ralph Barbosa, and Slim Thug join the cast in guest roles.

More timely than ever, Mo's return examines his experiences as a Palestinian refugee, the hypocrisies of the U.S. immigration system, and the institutional dehumanisation of people just trying to achieve citizenship — all while being a particularly hilarious, poignant, superbly written comedy show about a man just trying to get by.

Mo Season 2 is streaming on Netflix from Jan 30.

Donald Trump wants to go after Greenland, and Seth Meyers has a message for him.

"I'd like to say something to Donald Trump about his threat to take Greenland by military force that might take some of our viewers by surprise," says Meyers in the Late Night clip above, before issue the incoming President with a direct challenge: "Do it! Do it, you coward! Go get Greenland, you coward! Fix my shower and get me Greenland, or don't show me your face ever again! I'm calling your bluff, bro. Stop making these crazy promises. Do it. I want it. Go get it. Why won't you get it, you afraid of Denmark, bro? You starting to remember they've got those big ass dogs?"

Meyers goes on to say that this is how he knows Trump isn't going to take on China. "He talked a big game but now he's backing down and threatening Greenland instead. He's going to keep downgrading to smaller and smaller countries. Russia's going to do whatever it wants while he, like, threatens Peru."

Anker brought a solar beach umbrella to CES 2025, making us instantly want something we never knew existed before: A solar beach umbrella.

Yes, it's a large parasol that protects you from sunlight, while at the same time charging a mobile (well, sort of) electric cooler with solar panels. The umbrella can be collapsed just like any beach umbrella, as the solar panels on top are flexible. The cooler on the bottom packs a detachable 288Wh battery, and has small wheels for lugging around easily, though we don't advise trying to carry this thing to a remote beach with no car access.

And it's not just regular panels Anker is using here. The company says it's using perovskite solar cells, which should offer a 30 percent better performance than the typically used silicon cells. In reality, you can expect solar power of up to 100W total.

What's important is that you can bring a number of battery-powered gadgets to the beach and charge them with Anker's solar umbrella, without worrying you'll run out of power (OK, maybe don't try Bitcoin mining).

Oh, and if it suddenly starts raining, this thing will also protect you from the rain, as it has an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating.

Unfortunately, Anker didn't share the price for the Solix Solar Beach Umbrella. The only thing we know is (a vague) availability date, as the device should become available either in the spring or summer of 2025.

Do you really need that umbrella, though? Credit: Anker

The cooler is called the Solix EverFrost Electric Cooler, and can be bought on its own, without the solar umbrella. It's available in three capacities: 23L, 40L, and 58L, in case you really need to cool down a lot of booze refreshing drinks. Its battery should provide 52 hours on one charge, but you can also buy more batteries and swap them out if you need more power (and if you haven't opted for the solar umbrella). The Solix EverFrost Electric Cooler goes on sale on February 21, starting at $699.
