Xafari ni baiskeli ya umeme iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya kuendesha nje. Baiskeli hii ina matairi ya 26x3.0 na mfumo kamili wa usukani (suspension) unaotoa starehe wakati wa safari za burudani na kwenye njia zisizo na lami. Fremu yake imetengenezwa kwa mbinu ya kumwaga chuma kwa nguvu ya uvutano (gravity casting), na kutoa muundo usio na mshono wenye maelezo mazuri. Kifundo imara (pivot) na kifyonza mshtuko cha nusu-jumuishi (semi-integrated shock absorber) huongeza starehe zaidi. Betri ya 913Wh na injini ya 750W yenye nguvu ya mzunguko (torque) ya 80Nm husaidia kukabiliana na maeneo mbalimbali na miteremko mikali. Vipengele vyenye akili ni pamoja na ufunguzi kupitia muunganisho wa simu na taa zinazojirekebisha kwa ajili ya safari za usiku.
