This event not only showcased a range of products and technologies but also marked a key step for NAVEE from a short-distance transportation brand to a builder of the global intelligent outdoor mobility ecosystem.

Since its founding in 2021, NAVEE has been committed to “Reimagining Mobility Experiences,” starting from Suzhou, China. In just five years, it has rapidly grown into a global smart mobility technology brand. Currently, NAVEE products are available in over 60 countries and regions, with more than 5,000 global partners and serving over 1 million users. By 2025, NAVEE’s global revenue grew by 321% year-over-year, continuously increasing its influence in the global short-distance transportation industry.

From Short-Distance Transportation to Ecosystem Platform: NAVEE Initiates Strategic Leap

With the rapid rise of outdoor lifestyles, the global outdoor entertainment and equipment industry is entering a new growth cycle. Industry data shows that the global outdoor entertainment and equipment market is expected to grow from $137.7 billion in 2024 to $238.9 billion in 2034, becoming a significant growth sector in consumer technology.

Against this industry trend, NAVEE announced a strategic upgrade, transforming from a single short-distance transportation product brand into an intelligent outdoor mobility ecosystem platform covering multiple scenarios.

Wang Yaozhang, Chief Product Officer of Tantu Technology NAVEE, stated that future efforts will focus on three dimensions: product innovation, core technology, and global expansion. On one hand, by continuously expanding product forms, they aim to build a product system that covers more outdoor mobility scenarios. On the other hand, through ongoing innovation in the three-electric system, intelligent algorithms, and safety systems, they will create more technologically advanced mobility solutions. Additionally, leveraging a global distribution network, they plan to further expand into international markets.

Technology R&D is a crucial foundation for NAVEE’s strategic upgrade. The company invests over 200 million RMB annually in R&D, with a team comprising researchers from top universities such as Tsinghua University and Carnegie Mellon University. They have applied for over 400 patents. NAVEE’s laboratories have received certifications from international authorities like TÜV Rheinland®, SGS, and UL Solutions. Every product undergoes 140 extreme condition tests before launch. In manufacturing, NAVEE operates three modern factories in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou, with an annual capacity exceeding 2 million units.

Water, Land, and Air Product Matrix Takes Shape, Outlining Future Mobility

At this launch event, NAVEE unveiled its comprehensive outdoor ecosystem product lineup for the first time. The brand now features intelligent towable RVs as the central hub, including electric scooters, e-bikes, watercraft, flying vehicles, energy storage systems, and smart luggage, gradually forming a multi-scenario intelligent mobility solution across water, land, and air.

Among these, two innovative products—watercraft and new energy towable RVs—further expand the boundaries of smart mobility.

The personal consumer-grade watercraft NAVEE eVTOL WaveFly 5X made its debut. Using ground effect flight principles, it can operate in multiple modes: water-surface flying, water surface gliding, and floating docking. It cruises at 30 km/h, with a top speed of 85 km/h, and a maximum altitude of 1.2 meters. The WaveFly 5X features a modular quick-swap battery system, allowing users to change batteries in just 3 minutes, enabling a continuous range of up to 140 minutes. The ultra-lightweight new entry-level low-altitude flying vehicle—NAVEE eVTOL Karting 5—is dubbed the “flying go-kart.” It combines high performance, high reliability, and simple operation within a single-seat cockpit. Weighing only 73.6 kg, it uses high-modulus carbon fiber for the cockpit, with a redundant flight control system that can switch channels within milliseconds, ensuring safety. Pre-set flight routes allow takeoff and return with just a tap, accelerating the arrival of a low-altitude flying era accessible to the general public.

Meanwhile, the new energy towable RV NEXUS was also launched on-site. It integrates photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and intelligent energy management systems to form an integrated “light-storage-charging” energy system. It is equipped with an L3-level intelligent parking system, providing smarter solutions for outdoor travel and mobile lifestyles.

In core product areas, NAVEE also released several new electric scooters and e-bikes. The flagship electric scooters UT5 Max, NT5 Ultra X, and XT5 Pro have upgraded power and range. New e-bikes in the Speed Pedelec series—SP01, SP02, and the Fold series FD-03—further optimize performance and smart riding experience. Additionally, NAVEE introduced smart luggage with material innovations and design upgrades, offering more lifestyle possibilities for mobile travel.

Global Brand Lineup Debuts, Conveying the “NO LIMITS” Spirit

At the event, NAVEE officially announced its global brand ambassadors, including NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett, French football legend Olivier Giroud, Spanish football star Fermín López, and German player Lukas Podolski.

汪莹, CEO of Tantu Technology NAVEE, said that the spirit of breaking limits and continuous exploration embodied by sports aligns closely with NAVEE’s “NO LIMITS” brand philosophy. Through collaborations with global sports stars, NAVEE aims to inspire more users to embrace the spirit of daring to break through and free exploration.

Partnering with Microsoft to Launch AI Collaboration, Inspiring New Ideas in Smart Mobility

At the event, NAVEE signed an MoU with Microsoft. The two parties will focus on deploying AI large language models and cloud computing based on Azure, integrating intelligent agent applications into NAVEE’s various mobility ecosystem products. This includes supporting language interaction, device connectivity, energy management, and remote fault diagnosis across NAVEE’s platforms, jointly exploring next-generation intelligent solutions for mobility scenarios.

汪莹, CEO of Tantu Technology NAVEE, stated that this partnership with Microsoft is a significant step in integrating advanced digital technologies into future mobility experiences. NAVEE has steadily advanced its smart and global strategies, starting from electric scooters and expanding into a broader range of mobility products. The collaboration is expected to bring AI capabilities into practical mobility scenarios, delivering smarter and more convenient experiences to users worldwide.

During AWE, NAVEE also hosted a roundtable on intelligent outdoor mobility, moderated by UN development expert Dr. Jenny Seder. Participants included NAVEE Chief Scientist Dr. Zhang Ying, Today Capital Executive Director Wang Haoda, Huaxing Capital Director Chen Dong, CES judge and Chip China Editor-in-Chief Luo Guozhao, among others. Experts discussed industry trends, noting that with the convergence of new energy tech, AI, and consumer electronics, intelligent outdoor mobility is becoming a key future industry direction. Luo Guozhao shared, “At NAVEE’s booth today, we saw a variety of innovative products, and the partnership with Microsoft also gave us new insights. In future CES evaluations, we will pay more attention to the deep integration of products and AI capabilities, considering ‘AI-enabled product innovation’ as an important criterion.”
