Xiaomi rocketed the NAVEE N65 electric scooter to a successful launch<\/a> late last year on its Xiaomi Youpin crowdfunding platform. Now the scooter is making its way westward toward European and North American customers.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi has made a habit of launching many new electric rideables to stardom on its Youpin platform, a domestic Chinese crowdfunding platform somewhat similar to Kickstarter or Indiegogo in the West.<\/p>\n

In the past, such Xiaomi launches have included micromobility vehicles like electric bicycles<\/a> and larger seated scooters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the latest electric two-wheeler getting the boost is the NAVEE N65.<\/p>\n

Produced under the NAVEE brand name by Brightway, the new electric scooter boasts an impressive range of up to 40 miles (65 km).<\/p>\n

That range is made possible by a large capacity battery rated at 48V and 12.5Ah. With 600 Wh of capacity, that battery is larger than those often seen in many full-size electric bicycles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NAVEE N65 doesn\u2019t only rock a large battery, but it comes with a fairly large motor as well. The 500W motor should make for quick acceleration and decent hill-climbing performance as well.<\/p>\n

It is powerful enough to get the scooter up to 20 mph (32 km\/h), which is a bit faster than many of the more entry-level electric scooters<\/a> we\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n

The scooter also rolls on 10\u2033 tires, which are larger than many other entry-level electric scooters and are able to better traverse obstacles in the road. We\u2019re starting to see more electric scooters adopt this larger tire size<\/a> for its safety and ride comfort advantages.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi launched the NAVEE N65 on the Youpin platform in China to 3,499 RMB, or approximately US $550. <\/p>\n

Now several direct-from-China sites are starting to carry the NAVEE N65 for Western shoppers, though the price has increased slightly to around $650<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve seen this happen several times with other electric rideables that began selling in the Chinese market before heading westward. <\/p>\n

Electric scooters and mopeds like the Segway C80<\/a> started out with crowdfunding in China, but today can be found in your local BestBuy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just small electric bicycles and scooters though. Even many Asian electric motorcycles are working their way into European and American markets.<\/a><\/p>\n
