11 mi estimated · 28 mi claimed
The claim is 2.5× the estimate. How this is worked out.
Entry point to NAVEE's G5 family, listed at $599.99 and cut to $399.99 in NAVEE's October 5-21 fall sale. A 400 W motor (800 W peak) drives a 275 Wh, 36 V pack to 20 mph, and the 28-mile claim is at 9 mph, so a realistic commute distance is closer to 12-14 miles. What it does carry is hardware usually found one step up: front fork and rear-arm suspension, 10-inch tubeless tires, a front drum brake with rear regen, handlebar turn signals and Apple Find My. At 46.1 lb and 163 mm of deck it is a tighter, lighter scooter than the GT3 Max. It is for a rider with a short, flat commute and a bike-lane speed limit who still wants suspension and a tire that cannot go flat.
