Navee's CES lineup includes a speedy e-scooter, a golf cart and... a seaplane?

<p>The Chinese micromobility company Navee has some wild new stuff at CES 2026. The lineup is headlined by the UT5 Ultra X, a dual-motor e-scooter with an advertised top speed of 43 mph. And who among us isn't in the market for an auto-following golf cart and a seaplane?</p><p>The flagship UT5 Ultra X is a sleek-looking e-scooter with a pair of 2,400W motors. Navee says it can reach a top speed of 43 mph and has a max range of 87 miles. (However, in the world of e-scooters, it's safe to expect the real-world range to be around half of what manufacturers promise.) It has a front and rear hydraulic suspension and front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. Navee claims it can accelerate from 0 to 12 mph in 1.98 seconds.</p><figure><img src="https://d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net/images/user-uploaded/navee_scooter.jpg" data-crop-orig-src="https://d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net/images/user-uploaded/navee_scooter.jpg" style="height:737px;width:1020px;" alt="Rendering of a helmeted person riding the UT5 Ultra X e-scooter on a racetrack." data-uuid="d859b3cb-4211-46c0-b6c7-f4d9affb665c"><figcaption>Navee UT5 Ultra X</figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Navee</div></figure><p>If you want something that can hold its own on rougher terrain, there's the NT5 Ultra X. A pair of 1,200W motors helps this e-scooter reach a top speed of 40 mph and an advertised range of 56 miles. It has dual-disc brakes and an electronic anti-lock braking system. To help manage the bumps, it has two suspension types: a front telescopic suspension and a rear spring one. Navee claims its steel frame supports up to 330 lbs.</p><p>Then there's the Eagle F1X, which could put golf caddies out of work. This electronic cart can carry your clubs (up to 44 lbs). It has a &quot;smart auto-follow&quot; feature that uses a combination of AI and ultra-wideband. It also responds to voice and gesture controls. The 33-lb. cart uses a pair of 250W motors, and Navee claims it can handle 36-hole games. Strangely, the bottom portion looks like an F1 racer because, hey, why not?</p><figure><img src="https://d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net/images/user-uploaded/navee_golf_push_cart_caddy.jpg" data-crop-orig-src="https://d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net/images/user-uploaded/navee_golf_push_cart_caddy.jpg" style="height:737px;width:1020px;" alt="Render of a golfer using the Navee Eagle F1X as its caddy, following behind." data-uuid="4179c3ca-cdad-4d2c-9fc7-1a1c6447a036"><figcaption>Navee Eagle F1X</figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Navee</div></figure><p>To further prove that Navee isn't afraid to jump the shark, the company has a product that could, well, jump over sharks. The WaveFly 5X is an electric seaplane that can &quot;glide on the water and ride into the sky.&quot; The company claims a max speed of 53 mph, a cruising speed of 40 mph, and a maximum flight time of 70 minutes. I'm not ready to put my life in its hands, but surely some deep-pocketed adventurer will.</p><p>In addition to real-world ranges almost always being much lower than advertised, there are other caveats. First, post-purchase customer support in the world of micromobility is almost always a sketchy prospect. I once had to file a Better Business Bureau claim to get support from even the most well-established brand, Segway. Don't be shocked to experience the same or worse from lesser-known companies.</p><p>Second, Navee hasn't yet listed pricing or release dates for its new models. Based on their specs and the company's older gear, you'll likely see prices of well above $1,000 for each one. (And that’s not even counting the seaplane.)
