Unhappy with just creating a niche in electric scooters, Xiaomi is launching a new premium subsidiary with the Navee N65 at 699 euros.
In a market approaching one million units in 2021, a single brand is no longer enough. Like the automotive industry, Chinese brand Xiaomi has decided to split its range into two, one for general use and another more high-end line called Navee. Initially launched via a crowdfunding campaign on Xiaomi Youpin last August, it arrives in France this
A more refined look with the LED display
The first Navee N65 scooter logically shares some of Xiaomi’s design elements, through its wheels, handlebars, or deck. This model features a tubular structure that reduces vibrations, in addition to 10-inch wheels and a battery protector. It also stands out with its monochrome diode display, providing very clear visuals.
Beyond speed, mileage, and current mode, it shows the battery gauge, power delivered or recovered during deceleration, as well as the Bluetooth connection indicator. Connected via this to the Navee app, the electric scooter can be locked and unlocked, while transferring data from the screen to the phone.
Good power but heavy weight
The front wheel houses a 500-watt motor, with 3 limited modes at 15, 20, and 25 km/h. It can handle slopes of 25%, and is equipped with a 600 Wh battery. The brand indicates it recharges between 7 and 8 hours. The N65’s range is 65 km (hence the name). But this is under optimal conditions according to Navee: “70 kg, 25°C and 20 km/h, on flat ground and without wind”.
So, it will be about 50 km depending on usage, or even 30 km with intensive use, due to the weight of 23.8 kg! And to think we once found the heavy Sharp KS2AEUB.. Only a few users will be able to carry this weighty model, so be cautious before buying.
An elitist price for a Navee N65?
More premium than a Xiaomi Mi Scooter Pro 2, the Navee 65 is logically more expensive. It starts at 699 euros at launch, but can already be found under 650 euros in some stores or websites. A smaller sibling, the Navee N40, will be available later this year, along with “off-road Navee Pro” models.
