Our Verdict
The Navee S65 is undoubtedly a cushty journey and the suspension is solely marvellous. Nevertheless, it’s fairly heavy and never the simplest mannequin to retailer.
Navee is including to its vary of electrical scooters with the S65, a cumbersome mannequin that undeniably attracts consideration.
Like the opposite fashions we’ve examined from from the model, there’s no intensive meeting of varied elements earlier than it’s able to journey – screwing on the handlebars, folding up the handlebar and charging the battery are just about the one bodily actions required.

Earlier than the set up is full, you additionally must pair it with Xiaomi’s Mi Dwelling app, the place an educational movie is necessary to look at earlier than you’re registered and prepared. The app itself has a clear format and can be utilized to lock the electrical park, set how highly effective the brake energy regeneration needs to be and see the standing of the scooter, together with the battery life.
The Navee S65 is a hefty scooter, weighing 23.5kg. Regardless of the sleek folding mechanism, it’s cumbersome and hardly one thing you’ll be able to carry round on any lengthy distances.

While it’s unwieldy, the scale of the electrical scooter has its benefits. The footplate is generously sized, measuring a full 18cm in width with an anti-slip silicone plate on prime. In different phrases, it’s no downside to face together with your toes collectively if you happen to choose.
The handlebar is sadly not adjustable in top, yours actually (180cm tall) has an ideal driving place, however in case you are actually quick, it may be a problem to journey comfortably.

Within the centre of the handlebar is an LED display that provides you a fast overview of your velocity, distance travelled, driving mode and present battery stage.
By way of user-friendliness, the system is simple to deal with as there is just one operate cap to play with. Press and maintain to modify the machine on or off, press as soon as to modify the sunshine on or off, and shortly press twice to scroll between totally different driving modes, with 10, 15 and 20 km/h velocity out there. There may be additionally a strolling mode.
The Navee S65 is definitely foldable however nonetheless takes up a variety of house
Andreas Bergsman
The Navee S65 is supplied with 10in tubeless pneumatic tyres that present good grip and roll very quietly. The braking system on this explicit Nordic model is totally different from the EU model, the entrance is similar (digital ABS) however on the rear wheel it is a drum brake as an alternative of a disc brake, which ought to lead to a fair shorter braking distance.
The suspension is brutally good
Andreas Bergsman
The brushless motor has an output of 500 watts and the acceleration as much as the utmost velocity of 20 km/h is brutal. The rules concerning electrical scooters in Sweden are distinctive and it’s apparent that the Navee S65 is designed to deal with a lot greater speeds than this throttled Nordic model presents.
Regardless that I weigh round 80kg, the sturdy engine can deal with actually steep slopes (as much as 25% climbing gradient) with none issues in anyway.
The Navee S65 electrical scooter prices $1,099/£999, and is in the stores from Walmart within the US, and Amazon within the UK. You could find extra choices in our chart of the most effective electrical scooters.
The behaviour on the highway is great, the suspension system on the Navee S65 is among the finest I’ve encountered up to now and affectively swallows any unevenness within the floor. Not even low kerbs are a problem for the car, so if you happen to put consolation first, that is one to contemplate.
