NAVEE ST3 Electric Scooter

NAVEE rates the rear hub motor at 500 W with a 1,000 W peak and a 24% climb. Labo Fnac measured a 15% maximum slope on an EU unit that is capped at 25 km/h (15.5 mph), so treat 24% as the best case. Traction control (TCS) can be switched on in the NAVEE app, and there are Pedestrian, standard (D) and Sport (S) modes.

NAVEE contradicts itself on top speed. Its US spec table and page title say 24.9 mph, and its copy says "Unlock 24.9 mph", while the highlights on the same page say "20 MPH Max. Speed". NAVEE's global page says 40 km/h (24.9 mph) for the US version. Either way, plan on limiting it. At 24.9 mph it is above the 20 mph ceiling in New York's e-scooter definition (VTL §114-e) and New Jersey's under-19 mph line, and well above California's 15 mph limit for motorized scooters (Vehicle Code §22411). California also requires a driver's license or instruction permit and a helmet under 18 (§21235). Pennsylvania does not allow e-scooters on public roads. Scooters are not e-bikes, so the US e-bike classes do not apply.

The battery is 46.8 V × 10.2 Ah, which works out to 477 Wh, and NAVEE's figures agree with each other on that, unlike on the GT3. NAVEE claims 37.3 miles at 9 mph and 22 miles at 20 mph. The manual's footnote gives the test conditions: no wind, 77°F (25°C), a full charge, a constant 9.3 mph (15 km/h) on a flat surface and a 165 lb (75 kg) load.

Our estimate for a 175 to 180 lb rider at full speed is about 18 to 22 miles: 477 Wh divided by 22 to 27 Wh per mile, the middle half of 32 published full-speed range tests of commuter scooters. That sits right on NAVEE's own 22 miles at 20 mph. Labo Fnac measured 26.9 miles (43.3 km) on its 15.5 mph EU unit, which rides slower than a US one. For most riders that is a commute of up to about 9 miles each way with no charger at work. A full charge takes about 8 hours on the 70 W charger (Labo Fnac timed 8 hours 36 minutes).

The ST3 rides on 10-inch tubeless air tires, not the solid tires its Amazon listing claims, with four polymer damping arms, front and rear. NAVEE calls it "automotive-grade quadruple suspension"; it is not adjustable. Braking is a front drum, a rear mechanical disc and rear electronic braking (EABS); the disc is real, shown in the manual's parts diagram and confirmed by Labo Fnac. NAVEE cites ASTM F2641 braking tests.

It is rated IPX5 for water. The lights are an automatic 2 W headlight, a tail light, turn signals at the handlebar ends and reflectors front, rear and side. The NAVEE app adds a motor lock, regen level, auto lights and Apple Find My (iPhone only); NAVEE's own FAQ notes the app lock will not stop a thief. Despite the Amazon title, NAVEE's manual limits riding to cement or asphalt with bumps under 1 cm, and NAVEE's own store calls it a "Smooth City Electric Scooter".

The trade-off is weight. At 54.7 lb it is a scooter you roll, not carry: folded it measures 47.2 x 23.6 x 23.5 inches, and the handlebar does not fold. The rider limit is 265 lb, and NAVEE's manual sets the rider age at 16 to 50 and height at 120 to 200 cm (about 3 ft 11 in to 6 ft 7 in). NAVEE gives a 24-month warranty on the frame, motor and most parts and 12 months on the battery, for purchases through official or authorised channels.

The Amazon listing states UL 2272 certification; we could not verify it in the certifier's directory, and the listing names no lab. NAVEE's own ST3 pages and manual make no UL 2272 claim. NAVEE does hold a UL Verified Mark (V750580), but that is a performance verification of range and acceleration for the ST3 Pro and GT3 Pro, not a UL 2272 safety certification and not the ST3. Since September 16, 2023, New York City's Local Law 39 has required e-scooters sold there to be certified to UL 2272 (NYC DCWP). If your building or city asks for proof, ask NAVEE for the certificate before you buy.

No CPSC recall found for NAVEE or its maker Spacewalker as of October 25, 2026 (CPSC recalls). Our electric scooter safety guide explains how to check a listing's claim.

• NAVEE GT3 ($449.99 at our last check): the cheaper sibling, with a 350 W rated motor, a 358 Wh battery, 20 mph and 46.3 lb, but no rear disc brake (front drum plus electronic only) and a 243 lb rider limit. Pick the GT3 if you carry the scooter often; pick the ST3 for range and braking.
• NAVEE ST3 Pro (not reviewed here): a bigger 597 Wh battery, a 600 W rated motor, a 28% climb and self-sealing tires, at 55.8 lb; NAVEE's own store listed it at $699.99 on October 25, 2026. NAVEE claims 46.6 miles at 9 mph against the ST3's 37.3.
• Segway Ninebot E3 Pro ($599.99): lighter at 40.1 lb with a smaller 368 Wh battery, a 400 W rated motor, 20 mph and front drum plus electronic brakes; Segway names TÜV Rheinland for its UL 2272 testing.
• KuKirin G2 ($599): more battery (749 Wh) and disc brakes front and rear, but 57 lb, IP54 and a top speed far above every state's scooter line.

Buy the ST3 if you ride up to about 9 miles each way on rough city pavement, weigh up to 265 lb, and can roll rather than carry a 54.7 lb scooter. The rear disc brake, damping arms and 477 Wh battery are a lot of scooter for the money, and NAVEE publishes its range test conditions.

Skip it if you carry your scooter up stairs, need proof of UL 2272 (NAVEE does not claim it for the ST3), or live in a state with a low scooter speed limit and do not want to cap it. Our best electric scooters for commuting guide compares range and weight across our picks.
