CyberX is Xion Motors' line of personal electric two-wheelers. There are three models, the CyberX E-Bike, the CyberX E-Moped and the CyberX E-Moto, and we engineer and assemble all of them in San Diego. Each one has a 2-person seat and motorcycle-quality parts. What changes from model to model is how fast it goes, how far it goes on a charge and which kind of motor drives it.
If you're trying to pick one, the E-Bike goes the farthest, the E-Moto goes the fastest and the E-Moped sits in between. Below are the numbers for each, plus the licensing questions that come up once you ride faster than e-bike speeds.
What the CyberX line is
The CyberX models are built for personal riding, either solo or with a passenger behind you. All three share the same basic approach: a seat long enough for two people and parts built to motorcycle quality.
The line covers a wide speed range. The E-Bike tops out at 28 mph, the E-Moped reaches up to 55 mph and the E-Moto goes up to 70 mph. Range runs the other way. The slowest model goes the farthest on a charge, up to 120 miles, and the fastest goes up to 75 miles. So choosing a CyberX mostly comes down to how you weigh speed against distance, and how much licensing paperwork you're willing to take on.
The three CyberX models compared
| Model | Top speed | Range | Motor |
|---|---|---|---|
| CyberX E-Bike | 28 mph | Up to 120 miles | Mid-drive |
| CyberX E-Moped | Up to 55 mph | Up to 100 miles | Mid-drive |
| CyberX E-Moto | Up to 70 mph | Up to 75 miles | Direct-drive |
All three have a 2-person seat and motorcycle-quality parts. Range figures are maximums. How far you actually get on a charge depends on how fast you ride, how much weight you carry and the terrain.
CyberX E-Bike
The E-Bike has a 28 mph top speed and up to 120 miles of range, the most of the three. It uses a mid-drive motor, which sits in the middle of the frame and drives the rear wheel through the drivetrain. It's built to ride on- and off-road, so the same bike can handle your commute during the week and a dirt trail on the weekend.
CyberX E-Moped
The E-Moped goes up to 55 mph and up to 100 miles per charge. It also uses a mid-drive motor. Compared with the E-Bike, you give up about 20 miles of maximum range and roughly double the top speed. Electrek covered the CyberX moped in 2021.
CyberX E-Moto
The E-Moto is the fastest CyberX, with a top speed of up to 70 mph and up to 75 miles of range. It's also the only model in the line with a direct-drive motor; the E-Bike and E-Moped both use mid-drive. If speed matters more to you than distance, this is the one.
Which CyberX model fits which rider
Start with where you ride and how far. A few common cases:
- You want the most miles per charge, or you plan to ride on dirt as well as pavement. The E-Bike, with up to 120 miles of range and on- and off-road capability, fits best.
- You ride on roads where traffic moves faster than 28 mph but still want long range. The E-Moped keeps most of the E-Bike's range (up to 100 miles) and reaches up to 55 mph.
- Top speed is your priority and your trips are shorter. The E-Moto reaches up to 70 mph with up to 75 miles of range.
- You regularly ride with a passenger. Any of the three works, since every CyberX has a 2-person seat.
Licensing should be part of the decision from the start. The E-Bike is the model most likely to fall under your state's e-bike rules. The E-Moped and E-Moto are more likely to need registration, insurance or a motorcycle license. If you don't want to deal with any of that, it's worth checking your state's rules before you choose.
Legal and licensing basics
Rules for electric two-wheelers are set by each state, so there isn't one answer for every rider.
Many states sort e-bikes into Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. Those classes are defined in state law, and the definitions and the rules attached to each class vary from state to state. The class can affect where you're allowed to ride, such as bike lanes, bike paths and trails.
Faster vehicles are treated differently. Depending on your state, a model like the CyberX E-Moped or E-Moto may need to be registered, insured, or ridden with a motorcycle license or endorsement.
The simplest step is to look up your state's DMV rules for the model you're considering before you buy it, and again before you take a passenger. If you have questions about a specific CyberX model, our team can talk through it with you, but your state's rules are the final word.
Buying a CyberX from Xion Motors
Every CyberX is engineered and assembled by Xion Motors in San Diego. You can see all three models, with photos and current details, on the CyberX collection page.
Before you order, it helps to have three answers ready: how far you ride on a typical day, the fastest roads you need to use, and what your state requires for each model. Those three usually point to one model. If you're stuck between two, our team can help you compare them.
Xion also builds commercial electric pedicabs for fleet operators, which you'll find on our pedicabs page.
