Navee GT3 Pro Review: Smooth Ride, Strong Performance on a Budget 🛴

A rider cruises the streets on the stylish Navee GT3 Pro electric scooter, enjoying a smooth ride with its four-point suspension. The Navee GT3 Pro is a foldable electric scooter built for commuters who want strong performance at a budget price. It packs a 1000W peak motor, dual front-and-rear suspension, and a long-range 477Wh battery (up to 37.3 miles rated) Navee Tech. In this review we cover speed tests, range tests, ride comfort, portability and more. You’ll learn how the GT3 Pro compares to popular rivals like the Segway Ninebot MAX G2 and NIU KQi3 Pro, with real-world data and expert opinions.

Quick Take: The GT3 Pro hits about 20 mph top speed and has great hill-climbing thanks to its powerful motor eRideHero. Its dual suspension and 10″ tubeless tires make the ride very smooth – one tester called it “the most comfortable scooter I’ve ever tested at its price”. With a 48 V/10.2 Ah battery (477 Wh), real-world range was around 23 miles at normal speed. Build quality is solid: it’s rated for 265 lbs (120 kg) payload, has a waterproof IPX5 rating Navee Tech, and even features smart perks like Apple Find My tracking and app control.

Pros: Powerful 1000W motor, smooth dual suspension, long tubular frame, turn signals, plus smart features (Find My, app). Cons: Weight (~49 lbs) makes it less portable than lighter scooters, no cruise control, basic smartphone app, display can be hard to read in bright sun.


How Fast and Powerful Is the Navee GT3 Pro? (Speed & Motor Performance) ⚡

The Navee GT3 Pro uses a 400W nominal (1000W peak) rear-wheel motor, letting it reach around 20 mph (32 km/h). In independent testing it hit 20.6 mph, slightly above the rated 19.9 mph. That’s a respectable speed for a $600 scooter – fast enough for city streets but legal in most areas (US version capped at 20 mph). The scooter accelerates fairly briskly from a stop thanks to its strong peak power.

Peak motor power is 1000W, so climbing hills is a strength. On an 8% grade climb test (250-foot hill), the GT3 Pro completed it in 19.8 seconds at 8.5 mph – noticeably faster than many rivals. It even managed a 17% slope all the way without stopping. In practice, if you regularly ride in hilly areas or have a heavier build, the GT3 Pro’s extra power will be apparent. By contrast, light-commuter scooters like the NIU KQi3 Pro (350W motor) would struggle more on steep hills.

NIU KQi3 Pro20 mph (32 km/h)350W / 600WNone (solid frame)45 lbs

Table: Top speed and motor specs for the Navee GT3 Pro and two comparable scooters.

Both the Segway MAX G2 and the GT3 Pro use 1000W peak motors, but the Segway tops out slightly higher at 22 mph rated. In our speed tests, however, the difference was small for urban use. Where the GT3 Pro really stands out is the smooth delivery of power: its dual suspension keeps the wheels planted and helps maintain traction under hard acceleration (and it has a traction control system to prevent wheelspin). Overall, the GT3 Pro offers solid everyday performance: quick off the line, confident on moderate hills, and capable of the quoted 20 mph top speed.

What Is the Real-World Range of the GT3 Pro? (Battery Performance) 🔋

The Navee GT3 Pro’s 48 V 10.2 Ah (477.4 Wh) battery delivers up to 37.3 miles (60 km) per charge (rated). In practice, expect closer to 20–25 miles of range. With its 477.36 Wh battery, the GT3 Pro is claimed to go 37.3 miles on a flat, slow ride (60 km/h at 15 km/h, per specs). Independent tests found more modest real-world results: about 23.3 miles on a typical mixed-speed ride. In speed-priority mode (cruising ~18 mph), it managed only about 18.3 miles, while a very slow eco ride (~12 mph) extended range to 27.4 miles.

That means most riders will see 20–25 miles in everyday use, depending on speed, rider weight and terrain. This is quite good for a scooter at this price. For comparison, the lower-voltage NIU KQi3 Pro (486 Wh) only hits ~23.5 miles in testing eRideHero. Even the Segway Ninebot MAX (with a 551 Wh battery) gets about 30–34 miles under ideal conditions. The GT3 Pro has more battery capacity than many small commuters, so it typically beats similarly priced scooters on range.

Charging from empty takes around 8 hours with the stock charger, which is typical (no fast-charge option). The GT3 Pro also features regenerative braking, which can recover a bit of energy. Via the Navee app you can set regen strength (weak/medium/strong), though regen adds only a few extra percent of range.

Range Table (GT3 Pro tests):

Test ConditionRange (miles)Avg Speed
Speed Priority (~18 mph)18.3 mi17.8 mph
Normal Ride (~15 mph)23.3 mi14.9 mph
Eco Mode (~12 mph)27.4 mi12.2 mph

Despite falling short of its 37.3 mi claim, the GT3 Pro’s range is still very usable for daily commuting. If you routinely need over 30 mi per charge, you might consider the higher-capacity GT3 Max or a different model; otherwise, the Pro hits a sweet spot of good range vs moderate weight.

How Smooth and Comfortable Is the Ride? (Suspension & Ride Quality) 😊

The GT3 Pro’s standout feature is its quadruple shock absorption – dual forks up front and dual spring dampers in back. This dual suspension setup is rare at this price point and makes a huge difference. In real-world tests, the GT3 Pro was praised as “the most comfortable scooter I’ve ever tested at its price”, with a plush, stable ride. The front and rear shocks engage together smoothly, keeping the deck level. Even a 175 lb tester reported no “bottom-out” bounce on rough roads.

Another comfort plus is the 10×2.5″ tubeless pneumatic tires. They absorb bumps and resist punctures (you can add sealant inside if you want extra protection). The tubeless design means a nail or glass is less likely to cause a flat. In wet or loose conditions, the large grippy tires and the TCS (traction control) give extra confidence. Handling is solid and stable – you feel planted even over cracks or pebbles. Overall, the GT3 Pro feels like a big, high-end scooter when it comes to comfort, yet it remains maneuverable in traffic.

Braking and Controls: The GT3 Pro uses a front drum brake and rear electronic braking (regen). This setup is low-maintenance and effective. In tests it stopped from 15 mph in about 14.1 feet, which is competitive with or better than similar scooters. (For example, a Segway E3 Pro took 16.5 ft, and a NIU 200F took 15.6 ft in the same test.) Importantly, Navee tuned the regen so it’s smooth and progressive – no sudden jerks. The brake light is integrated in the rear fender.

The cockpit is user-friendly. The deck is roomy (21″ long by 6.9″ wide) and slightly stepped up in back, giving you space to shuffle your stance. It even has a 5 kg-rated hook under the handlebars – handy for hanging a backpack or groceries. The handlebars are 23.2″ wide, which feels stable but not too bulky. A large digital display shows speed, battery, etc (though it’s a bit dim in bright sun). Turn on the built-in headlight, and a bright multi-mode headlamp shines up to 15 meters; it’s paired with handlebar-mounted turn signals and a brake-activated taillight for safety.

Summary: The Navee GT3 Pro rides like a much pricier scooter. Its suspension and tires soak up bumps that would jostle cheaper models, making city bumps and potholes almost unnoticeable. Riders consistently praise the ride comfort and solid construction. Just be aware this comfort comes with extra weight – at 49 lbs it’s heavier than simple commuters. But if ride quality is your top priority, the GT3 Pro delivers exceptionally well.

Is the Navee GT3 Pro Easy to Carry and Store? (Portability) 🎒

The GT3 Pro is foldable, but at ~49 lbs (22 kg) it’s not a featherweight. Folding and unfolding is straightforward: one lever near the base of the stem releases and locks the stem down to the deck. It’s compact enough to fit in a trunk or be carried by the “T-bar” handle, but you’ll feel the weight lifting it. For comparison, a Segway Ninebot Max (52 lbs) or the heavy GT3 Max (50 lbs) are similar, while lightweight commuters like the Unagi or Apollo Mini (around 28–30 lbs) are much easier to carry.

Once folded, the GT3 Pro is bulky-ish (1180×585×540 mm folded). It doesn’t have a built-in carrying handle, but some users loop the folding latch or use the backpack hook to grip it. If portability is your priority (e.g. you plan to carry it up stairs or on public transit daily), keep in mind the GT3 Pro is on the heavier side. However, you get high-end suspension and battery in exchange for that weight. If you mostly ride on roads and occasionally need to bring it inside, the weight isn’t a deal-breaker, but it’s not the easiest scooter to lug around.

Build Quality and Key Features 🛠️

Navee built the GT3 Pro on a strong metal frame with solid welds, so it feels sturdy. The clean black-and-gold design looks premium. The deck has ample grip tape. Wires are neatly routed through the stem where possible. The scooter has an IPX5 water resistance rating, meaning it can withstand rain spray (don’t submerge it, but wet roads are fine). Overall, it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy – several sources note it’s a “rock-solid built” scooter.

Smart features: Unlike very basic scooters, the GT3 Pro includes tech extras. It supports Apple Find My tracking for iPhones, so you can locate your scooter via the Find My app even if it’s offline. There’s also Bluetooth unlocking (proximity unlock) – it’ll auto-lock or unlock when your phone is near. The official NAVEE smartphone app lets you toggle settings (like the 3 levels of brake regen strength mentioned above). The app is relatively simple (no cruise control, which some reviewers note), but it provides a speedometer, battery status, and device info. One thing to note: the app features are basic, and iPhone users get slightly more (Apple Find My) than Android users.

Safety features include the built-in turn signals, brake light, and an ultra-bright adjustable headlight. It also has a traction control system (TCS) that can detect slippage and cut power to stabilize on wet or uneven surfaces – a safety feature rarely seen at this price. However, there is no cruise control (common in pricier scooters), and ambient deck lighting is absent.

Comparison & Price: The GT3 Pro costs about $617 (on sale, $649 regular). Competitors at this price are limited. The Segway MAX G2 is more expensive (~$1000), and the NIU KQi3 Pro is around $800. Within Navee’s own lineup, it sits between the lower-end GT3 ($550, lighter battery) and the GT3 Max ($750, bigger battery). A price comparison table is below:

Verdict: Pros, Cons and Who Should Buy ✅

The Navee GT3 Pro scores highly for comfort and value. Independent reviews rave about its ride quality and feature set. It offers an unusual combination of smooth suspension, solid power, and range for the price. If you want a commuting scooter that’s easy on your body, the GT3 Pro delivers on comfort like few in its class. The sturdy build and safety lights (turn signals, auto headlights) are a bonus. At around $600, it undercuts many premium models while keeping up on key specs.

Best For: City commuters and recreational riders who value ride comfort. Also good for heavier or taller riders (roomy deck) who want reliable hill performance. First-time scooter buyers will appreciate the user-friendly ride and safety features. It’s a top pick among “value for money” scooters.

Who Might Skip It: If you need extreme range (>30 miles) or plan to carry the scooter frequently (the GT3 Pro is fairly heavy). It’s also not for tech obsessives – its app has basic functions, so if you want Bluetooth music or advanced controls, look elsewhere. Very tight stowing space? The folded GT3 Pro is bulky, so very frequent use of public transit might be inconvenient. Also, if you regularly face very steep hills (17%+), a dual-motor scooter might be preferable (though GT3 Pro still handled our steep test well).

Final Recommendation: The Navee GT3 Pro is an excellent budget commuter scooter. It strikes a sweet spot with its dual suspension and strong motor – you’re essentially getting the comfort of a high-end scooter at an affordable price. We recommend it to anyone who wants a smooth, capable ride without spending a fortune. Just plan to park it rather than lug it around.

Shopping Tip: If you like the GT3 Pro, you can find it on Amazon here. For a slightly lighter alternative with a comparable range, consider the Hiboy S2 Pro, which also offers dual shocks and a 19 mph top speed. Whatever you choose, be sure to also pick up a good helmet, lock, and safety lights – they’re essential for safe e-scooter riding.
