New Self-Balance Scooter 🛴 Navee GT3

It's time for my weekly diary entry. In my last post, I wrote about selling my bicycle. Straight after the bike sale, I bought a new scooter 💸.

Comparison of my scooters:

  • Model
    • Old: Xiaomi 4 Lite 2nd Gen
    • New: Navee GT3 Max
  • Range
    • Old: 12 km
    • New: 35 km
  • Power
    • Old: 300...500 W
    • New: 400...1000 W
  • Suspension
    • Old: Hard frame
    • New: Springs front and rear
  • Weight
    • Old: 16 kg
    • New: 23 kg
  • Speed
    • Old: 20 km/h
    • New: 22 km/h

The old scooter had these issues:

  1. Small battery 🪫
  2. No springs 🫨
  3. Weak power and low speed, especially going uphill 🐌

The new scooter is not perfect either. I've found these drawbacks:

  1. Heavy weight 🐘
  2. Bolts on the bottom stick out and catch on steps when exiting my building 🏢
  3. Advertised range by the manufacturer: 65 km. In reality: 35 km 🤥

Despite some issues, I'm happy with the new scooter. I went to the city park on a weekend 🌳. Before, my old scooter didn't have enough charge for that trip ⚡

I plan to sell the old scooter for $100. A buyer has already been found. I'll be taking the scooter to another town on Friday. I need to be careful when selling the scooter: there are many scammers and oddballs out there 🥵. I hope the sale goes smoothly 🧊
