Does Navee Give Segway a Run For Its Money? Let's Find Out!

Some riders want something established and familiar, and this is where brands like Segway shine. After all, Segway is the leading name when it comes to e-scooters. But for others who are eager for a fresh take on riding, Navee is the top choice. 

Both brands offer a good range of high-quality e-scooters and promise smooth, comfortable commutes. But, does Navee really measure up to the e-ride giant? Let's take a closer look to find out.

Meet the Brands

Segway

Segway was founded in 1999 in the US and became a pioneer in self-balancing transporters. After merging with China’s Ninebot in 2015, Segway-Ninebot grew into a global leader in e-scooters, e-bikes, and personal robotics. Today, it serves over 23 million riders in over 160 countries, staying true to its mission to make personal mobility easier, smarter, and more sustainable.

Navee

Navee makes high-performance scooters that are smooth, smart, and affordable. Since 2021, it’s released award-winning models like the N65 and S65 and expanded across Europe, Asia, and North America. With advanced suspension, long-lasting batteries, and app-based controls, Navee delivers rides that are perfect for navigating the city: fun, reliable, and eco-friendly.

Now, with the arrival of the new GT3 and ST3 lineups, Navee is stepping into an exciting new phase with more options for the daily rider – and we’re thrilled to be part of it.

Compare the Models

Both Navee and Segway are well-established brands known for quality and performance. But how do their scooters measure up against Segway’s most popular models? Time to see how they compare.

Navee GT3 vs. Segway E3 Pro

Ride Quality

The Navee GT3 delivers a smooth and stable ride thanks to its front fork and rear cylinder suspension. The Segway E3 Pro’s front and rear elastomer suspension also provides a reliable ride, though it can be slightly firmer compared to the GT3. Both handle hills and urban terrain well.

Speed and Range

Both scooters reach a top speed of 25 KPH, with similar motor power (350W nominal, 700W peak). The GT3 offers up to 50 KM on a single charge, while the E3 Pro has the slight edge with 55 KM. Either way, each model is perfect for longer commutes.

Features

Navee and Segway boast similarly advanced technology, like traction control systems, turn indicators (the Navee features automatic headlights), and Apple Find My integration. Both scooters keep you safe, visible, and connected on every ride.

Bottom Line

Priced at only $999, the Navee GT3 delivers most of the performance, comfort, and tech of the Segway E3 Pro, which costs a bit higher at $1,199. It’s a solid, more affordable alternative that’s well-suited for commuters and city riders who want a smooth, reliable scooter without paying the premium.

Navee GT3 Max vs. Segway F3

Ride Quality

With its dual suspension system, the Navee GT3 Max feels smooth and comfortable on the road. The Segway F3 is also steady, thanks to its front hydraulic and rear elastomer suspension. Both scooters definitely make city streets feel easier to navigate.

Speed and Range

Both scooters can hit 25 KPH, but the GT3 Max goes a little further with up to 75 KM per charge and climbs steeper hills at 22%. The F3 offers 70 KM and a 20% incline, so while it falls slightly behind, it’s still very capable for a commuter e-scooter.

Features

Traction control, Apple Find My integration, smart lights, and app connectivity allow the GT3 Max to deliver effortless and safe commutes. Similarly, the F3 comes with Segway’s state-of-the-art stability systems, range management, and app control.

Bottom Line

The Navee GT3 Max is a top-tier commuter scooter that matches the Segway F3 in most ways and even edges it out in range and hill-climbing, all for $1,299.95 versus the F3’s $1,399. For riders who want performance, comfort, and smart features without paying extra, the GT3 Max is a clear choice.

Navee ST3 vs. Segway F3 Pro

Ride Quality

The Navee ST3’s dual Damping Arm™ suspension gives a steady, cushioned ride on rough streets, and the Segway F3 Pro feels smooth too, with its hydraulic-plus-elastomer setup. Both handle bumps really well, although the ST3’s triple braking system is an advantage.

Speed and Range

These two scooters boast the same top speed (25 KPH) and max climb (24%). The F3 Pro, however, reaches a slightly longer range of 70 KM compared to the ST3’s 60 KM.

Features

Like the previous models, the ST3 offers Apple Find My, adaptive headlights, indicators, and a strong braking system. The F3 Pro leans on Segway’s stability tech, longer range, and dual disc brakes. You can count on either scooter to be well-equipped for your trips.

Bottom Line

At $1,499.95, the ST3 comes in cheaper than the F3 Pro’s $1,699. You give up a bit of range, but you gain great suspension, strong braking, and useful smart features, which make the ST3 a solid and more affordable alternative. 

Navee ST3 Pro vs. Segway ZT3 Pro vs. Segway MAX G3

Ride Quality

The Navee ST3 Pro’s dual Damping Arm™ suspension keeps rides steady on city streets and rough patches, and the Segway ZT3 Pro is built for tougher terrain with telescopic + spring suspension and 11-inch off-road tyres. The MAX G3 offers the smoothest feel overall thanks to front and rear double hydraulic suspension. 

If you want the softest ride, the MAX G3 leads, while the ZT3 Pro is ideal for rougher roads. However, the ST3 Pro stays impressively comfortable for its size and weight.

Speed and Range

All three models reach 25 KPH out of the box (the ZT3 Pro can be unlocked to a higher speed), but climbing power and range set them apart.

• Navee ST3 Pro: 28% incline, 75 KM range
• Segway ZT3 Pro: 25% incline, 60 KM range
• Segway MAX G3: 30% incline, 80 KM range

The ST3 Pro sits in the sweet spot – with a longer range and higher climb capability than the ZT3 Pro and only slightly behind the MAX G3.

Features

The ST3 Pro comes equipped with triple braking, Traction Control, Apple Find My, adaptive lights, self-healing tyres, and smart app controls, giving you everything you need for daily rides. By comparison, the ZT3 Pro adds advanced stability tech, off-road tyres, AirLock, and brighter lights, while the MAX G3 packs the most features with hydraulic suspension, upgraded disc brakes, stronger water protection, fast-charging, and a TFT display. 

The ST3 Pro emphasises practical, rider-focused features, making it a strong, well-rounded choice alongside the impressive Segway ZT3 Pro and MAX G3.

Bottom Line

The NAVEE ST3 Pro hits a balanced sweet spot. It delivers strong climbing power, a solid 75 km range, and a comfortable ride with its Damping Arm™ suspension. While the ZT3 Pro has slightly higher peak power for off-road use and the MAX G3 offers the longest range and full hydraulic suspension, the ST3 Pro combines practical performance, smart safety features, and everyday comfort at a competitive price.

Segway or Navee?

Both brands are well-established and offer reliable performance, smart safety features, and thoughtful design. Segway has a long track record with innovative tech and a wide range of scooters built for everything from city commuting to off-road adventures. NAVEE, on the other hand, focuses on practical features, comfort, and value, with scooters that deliver strong performance and smart connectivity for everyday riders.
