Yeah definitely! My first scooter was a navee v40. Zero suspensions. Wanted an upgrade for my work commute, about 6-7 miles a day. Definitely the suspensions are great. All the little bumps and deformed curbs are a breeze. And water proof ipx6. My only gripe is def the tires. 10 inch would have been great but I guess they were trying to keep it as small as they could haha.
I just got a V40! I went from zero suspension so I love it so far! It does feel a little wobbly to me compared to my cheapo one but I was thinking maybe because it is taller and higher off the ground? It's almost brand new so I don't think it's worn out yet. When it comes time to replace my tires do they sell you the tire? Or how do I replace them?
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.
