Navee S40

Manufacturer: Navee

The Navee S40 is a foldable electric scooter built for adult riders, featuring built-in front and rear lights, suspension, and connectivity through a dedicated smartphone app. With an IPX5 water resistance rating and a folding frame, it is designed to handle everyday commuting with a reasonable degree of practicality and convenience.

Powered by a 700W single motor, the S40 reaches a top speed of 25 km/h and handles inclines up to 18 degrees. Its 275 Wh battery supports a maximum range of 40 km per charge, though a full recharge takes around 8 hours. The scooter rides on 10-inch wheels, supports a maximum load of 120 kg, and is equipped with both front and rear brakes. A battery level indicator is included, while regenerative braking and a removable battery are not part of the design.

Pros
  • Foldable frame makes it practical for storage and carrying on public transport
  • Built-in front and rear lights support visibility during low-light riding
  • IPX5 rating provides meaningful protection against rain and water splashes
  • Suspension helps absorb road irregularities for a more comfortable ride
  • Supports a dedicated smartphone app for connected functionality
  • Dual braking system with both front and rear brakes improves stopping reliability
Cons
  • An 8-hour charge time is notably long for a 275 Wh battery
  • The battery is not removable, making it impossible to swap for a fresh one on longer trips
  • No regenerative braking means energy recovery during deceleration is not available
  • At 24,600 g, the scooter is on the heavier side for a foldable model
  • A 40 km maximum range may be limiting for longer daily commutes
Who is this for?

The Navee S40 is well suited to adult urban commuters who need a scooter they can fold and carry onto public transport or store in compact spaces. Its IPX5 water resistance and built-in suspension make it a reasonable choice for riders who deal with light rain or uneven city pavements. The inclusion of front and rear lights, a smartphone app, and a dual braking system adds a layer of safety and connectivity that will appeal to daily riders who want a more complete riding experience without relying on aftermarket accessories.

Who is this NOT for?

Riders who cover long daily distances are likely to find the 40 km maximum range limiting, particularly given that the battery cannot be swapped out for a spare. The 8-hour charge time makes mid-day top-ups impractical, which could disrupt routines that require more than one ride per day. At 24,600 g, the scooter is also not ideal for users who need to carry it frequently up stairs or for extended distances on foot, and the absence of a seat makes it unsuitable for anyone who requires a seated riding position.
