Agreed. I had a Navee 1000w and 800w. 1000 is the minimum. I'm 220 lbs and it could barely make it up some hills.

I run an electric repair shop and do sales as well. I actually had a navee rep from china visit to try and stock their stuff. I was displeased with their demo model as the QC was sub par. Stripped and loose bolts. ON THE DEMO MODEL

I have navee and it’s horrible. It doesn’t go even half of the advertised distance (and I am not driving it uphill), charges unreliably, it’s also on the heavier side of what scooters weigh. The app also randomly locks you out..

Both of these are absolute garbage. Get him a niu, ninebot, or navee. The lowest models are around the same price roughly.

Extremely cheap and "higher quality" do not got together here...but for 2.5 miles if you spend $500 you will be all set. Avoid the parts bin temu/amazon crap. It will not last. NIU or ninebot or navee. Either one will be fine for a rather short ride. My job is 6 miles away. At one point I had a go trax and I could get there in like 18 min....i do not recommend go trax though. You best bet is one the "N" brands.

If it doesn't explode the 1st time you plug it in to charge, for $150 this will be a steal. If you buy this with $150 expectations, I'm sure it will be a super scooter. A replacement TFT screen for my scooter alone costs as much as 2 of these. And while I'm sure it's sloooow, even a slow scooter will still be 5x plus faster than a person can walk. My last scooter broke and I was stuck walking until I got a new one. It's 1.5 miles to the nearest grocery store. I'd have loved a scooter like this over those 3 mile walks to get food lol.

Navee is good and quite bang for the buck. Having the s60 myself. Good for city driving and has good suspension.

I’ve had both, Segway is better quality hands down. Navee is still good though.

I run an E-scooter comparison site in Germany and have analyzed both brands extensively: \*\*Ride Quality:\*\* \- Segway Ninebot (Max G2/G3, ZT3 Pro) has superior suspension and build quality \- Navee is surprisingly solid for the price but feels less refined in turns \- Braking: Segway wins with dual drum/disc combos \*\*Reliability:\*\* \- Segway has years of proven track record and excellent spare parts availability \- Navee is too new to judge long-term, but I've seen some app connectivity issues reported \*\*Germany-specific (since you mentioned Mediamarkt):\*\* \- Both have ABE certification for German streets (20 km/h limit applies) \- Segway warranty/support is established; Navee support can be hit-or-miss \*\*My verdict:\*\* For reliability and resale value, Segway is the safer choice. Navee offers good value if you're on a budget and willing to take a small risk on a newer brand. If you want detailed specs/scores, check my profile - I've tested 29 models with German street approval.
