Design Is the New Performance in Micro-Mobility

Most people still think of an electric scooter as a spec sheet — watts, kilometres, top speed. NAVEE keeps proving it's a design object.

At the 2026 London Design Awards, the NAVEE ST5 series took the Platinum Award — the competition's highest honour — with the UT5 and XT5 earning Gold alongside it. This is the same brand that already holds iF, Red Dot and A' Design recognition. That's not a lucky year. That's a design philosophy.

Substance Behind the Silhouette

Good design isn't decoration, and the ST5 backs its looks with real substance: a 1650W peak motor, a 40 km/h top speed, and an 85 km range certified by TÜV Rheinland.

Then there are the details that separate a considered product from a commodity one — the floating 3.5" TFT display, the signature Damping Arm suspension, Apple Find My integration and keyless unlocking. None of it is accidental. Every element earns its place.

A Roadmap, Not a Tagline

What I find most telling is where NAVEE is heading. Founded in 2021, it has already moved from scooters to e-bikes, smart golf trolleys, and even a consumer wing-in-ground craft. "Beyond the Move" isn't marketing copy; it's a roadmap that stretches across land, water and air.

That kind of ambition, disciplined by genuine design rigour, is rare in micro-mobility.

Why We Back Them

Design is the new performance in this category. The riders who once compared spec sheets now compare how a product feels, folds, and lives with them day to day. NAVEE understood that early — and it's exactly why we back them.
