Navee is a Chinese company known for making electric scooters. Barely three years old (they launched in 2021), the company has already produced 500,000 e-scooters. They are now moving into the e-bike market with two e-bikes aimed at bike share programs.
The two e-bikes, the S1 and the C1 are intended to be lighter than typical e-bikes. Navee says they will weigh between 25 and 30kg (55 to 66 lbs.), in order to make them easier for smaller riders or riders with limited strength or mobility to manage.
The two e-bikes share many design features. Both feature step-thru frame designs. They can be ordered with either 250W or 350W motors (500W or 700W max output, respectively) and several different batteries, from 468Wh up to 612Wh. Both e-bikes come with 26-in. wheels and front and rear drum brakes. Navee included both a torque sensor and a cadence sensor to make them as responsive as possible.
Both e-bikes are projected to have a range of up to 75km (46.6 mi.) per charge, and will be speed limited to 25kph (15.5 mph).
According to Navee, the S1 and C1 will also be available for purchase as delivery e-bikes for businesses. They can be customized with racks or boxes as well as a business’ logo.
Another interesting choice that Navee offers its customers is the choice of traditional pneumatic tires, or tires that are filled with PU. PU stands for polyurethane, and it’s also known by another name: memory foam. Tires filled with PU cannot be flatted.
Navee will begin taking orders for the S1 and C1 in April, and intends to target markets in the U.S., Europe, Turkey and Russia. In order to meet their anticipated demand, the company has built a four-story factory in China and is in the process of setting up an assembly facility in Europe to simplify distribution. Performing assembly in Europe is likely to reduce import tariffs on the company’s e-bikes.
