New Scooter 🛴 Navee GT3

It’s time for another weekly journal entry. In my previous post, I wrote about how I sold my bicycle. And right after selling the bike, I bought a new scooter 💸

My scooter comparison:

• Model
  • Was: Xiaomi 4 Lite 2nd Gen
  • Now: Navee GT3 Max
• Range
  • Was: 12 km
  • Now: 35 km
• Power
  • Was: 300…500 W
  • Now: 400…1000 W
• Suspension
  • Was: rigid construction
  • Now: front and rear springs
• Weight
  • Was: 16 kg
  • Now: 23 kg
• Speed
  • Was: 20 km/h
  • Now: 22 km/h

My old scooter had the following problems:

1. Small battery 🪫
2. Lack of springs 🫨
3. Weak power and low speed, especially when climbing hills 🐌

However, the new scooter isn’t perfect either. I found these drawbacks:

1. Heavy weight 🐘
2. The screws on the bottom protrude and hit the stairs when leaving the apartment building 🏢
3. Range claimed by the manufacturer: 65 km. In reality: 35 km 🤥

Despite some small issues, I am happy with my new scooter. I went to a city park over the weekend 🌳 Previously, there wasn’t enough charge for a trip to that park ⚡

I plan to sell my old scooter for $100. A buyer has already been found. I’m taking the scooter to a neighboring city this Friday. I think you need to be extremely careful when selling a scooter: there are quite a lot of scammers and unreasonable people these days 🥵 I hope the sale goes smoothly 🧊
