The claim is 2.3× the estimate. How this is worked out.
A 39 lb scooter with a 265 lb rider limit, where budget scooters this light from Hiboy and Gotrax cap riders at 220 lb. The V40i has a 350 W motor (700 W peak), a 275 Wh pack, 10-inch air tires and a 3.5-inch suspended display, and NAVEE claims 25 miles and 20 mph. Sealing is IP55, which covers dust as well as splashes, and there is a hidden AirTag slot. It has no suspension, so rough pavement comes up through the tires. At $500 it is $300 under the G5 Max's list price, which buys suspension and 477 Wh but 10.8 lb more weight, so the V40i is a purchase for carrying: stairs, trains, office lifts. Against the V25 it adds 92 Wh, 4.5 mph by NAVEE's own page and 45 lb of rider capacity for $120.

35-55 lb — you can lift it into a boot or over a kerb, not carry it far. Estimated range is our own calculation from the battery capacity; the claim is the manufacturer’s.
