Over the years, I’ve tested all three key types of electric scooters. The all-terrain “off-roader” came first, followed by a high-performance flagship. And now I’m testing the classic urban option – the Navee E25 Pro. This is exactly the kind of scooter that most people picture when they hear the word “electric scooter”: a lightweight, relatively compact sidewalk commuter with a modest range and an affordable price.

Navee E25 Pro Video review
Price and Positioning
The E25 Pro costs a relatively modest €330, or around $350. That makes it one of the most affordable branded electric scooters on the market. However, as we’ll see later, the price doesn’t necessarily translate into compromises across the board – in some areas, the E25 Pro actually has a few pleasant surprises in store.
Package Contents
- Charging adapter (25.2 V / 1.5 A)
- Hex key and 5 screws
- Set of user manuals
The assembly is simpler than on any scooter I’ve tested before. And that makes perfect sense – the design is as straightforward as it gets. Still, there are a few tricks involved.
Navee E25 Pro Ergonomics and Specifications
From a distance, the Navee E25 Pro looks extremely simple: just 8 cm of ground clearance, 8.5-inch wheels with tubeless tires, and a slim, elegant frame.
Thanks to this construction, the scooter weighs around 16 kg, while its maximum supported load is up to 90 kg.
- Motor: 300 W rated, up to 480 W peak (capable of climbing slopes of up to 14°)
- Battery: 220 Wh (21.6 V)
- Dimensions: 1,105 mm in length, allowing it to fit comfortably even in a narrow passenger elevator
The handlebars feature a functional LED display, a mechanical bell, a power button, and a throttle trigger. Lighting consists of a red rear light and a front headlight.
The scooter has an IPX5 water-resistance rating, provided that the charging-port cover is securely closed.
Pleasant Surprises
I won’t dwell on the turn signals – for a purely sidewalk-oriented scooter, they aren’t essential. What it really needs, though, is a pedestrian mode, which can be activated by double-pressing the power button. Seeing this feature on a budget model was a pleasant surprise.
The other riding modes are Standard and Turbo, with top speeds of 15 and 25 km/h respectively. Surprisingly, I found myself riding almost exclusively in Turbo mode. Not so much for the maximum 25 km/h speed, but because it’s the only mode in which the motor delivers enough power to climb hills confidently.
Another clever feature is the smart hook integrated into the bell. It catches onto a latch on the rear fender, turning the folded steering column into a convenient carrying handle.
But what surprised me most of all was the availability of a dedicated companion app. Some competitors costing twice as much still don’t offer any software support, while the E25 Pro actually does!
The app provides almost all the essential functionality:
- Motor lock
- Battery charge monitoring as a percentage
- Estimated remaining range
- Remote headlight control
The software isn’t perfect: the interface is a little clunky in places, optimization could use some work, occasional glitches crop up, and I never managed to find the cruise control mentioned in the video tutorial. Still, it’s far better than having no software support at all.
Navee E25 Pro in Everyday Use
In everyday use, the scooter proved to be quite pleasant. It handles minor imperfections in the asphalt well, thanks in part to its dual-component braking system, although, as expected, it quickly bogs down in deep sand.
The difference between 16 kg and 20 kg turned out to be huge in practice. I felt noticeably less tired after rides, and it’s honestly hard to overstate how much of a difference those few kilograms made.
And here I’d like to make an important point. In our circumstances – during blackouts and periods of abnormally hot summer weather – carrying any vehicle weighing 16–20 kg up to the fifth floor or higher is a serious physical strain. It’s not a problem specific to NAVEE or electric scooters in general; it’s simply a reality of everyday life. Extreme heat claims lives in Europe every summer, so know your limits, take the weight of your equipment into account, and look after yourself.
A Major Drawback
The biggest and most noticeable downside of the Navee E25 Pro is its painfully slow charging. Eight hours to charge a 220 Wh battery is simply hard to justify in 2026.
After testing the E25 Pro, I realized what kind of scooter I actually want. I don’t need a heavy all-rounder with a massively powerful motor – I want exactly this kind of sidewalk commuter, but with a 50–60 km range, fast charging (perhaps even via USB-C), and I wouldn’t mind if it weighed even 1 kg more.
Even as a fan of electric unicycles and e-bikes, I’d take notice of such a model – although I understand that a silicon-carbon battery would inevitably push the price higher.
Conclusion
Sidewalk scooters are a very well-balanced category, and the Navee E25 Pro stands out as one of the strongest options in the budget segment. Its thoughtful folding mechanism, companion software, solid build quality, and affordable price make it an excellent choice. If the long charging time doesn’t bother you, the E25 Pro is easy to recommend.
