The ST5 and XT5 models both took home Platinum Awards, while the NT5 and UT5 secured Gold. The recognition further reinforces NAVEE’s growing position as a design and innovation leader in the global smart mobility market.

“Double Platinum, Double Gold” Honors Highlight NAVEE’s Full-Line Design Excellence

Organized by the International Awards Association (IAA), the French Design Awards stands as one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, with industry recognition on par with the German Red Dot Award and iF Design Award, earning it the title of the “Golden Touchstone” for global brand design strength. The Platinum Award, the pinnacle honor of the competition, is exclusively awarded to designs that embody extreme innovation, top-tier performance, and forward-looking value. Gold Awards represent world-class design standards. This dual recognition elevates the significance of NAVEE’s wins far beyond ordinary industry accolades, serving as the most authoritative international endorsement of the brand’s design capabilities.

NAVEE’s four-model sweep of top-tier awards is the inevitable outcome of the brand’s unwavering commitment to its “design-driven, user-centric” philosophy and its systematic R&D and design capabilities. Each model’s award level is precisely aligned with its positioning and breakthroughs, earning unanimous acclaim from the international jury.

NAVEE ST5 E-Scooter: Redefining Urban Commuting with Trendy Aesthetics

The NAVEE ST5, which secured the Platinum Award, represents the pinnacle of design in the urban commuting segment. Centered on the core concept of “redefining urban high-efficiency travel and defining trendy sports aesthetics,” the ST5 delivers a comprehensive upgrade in performance and riding experience. Its body structure balances rigorous mechanical performance with lightweight design, featuring a striking black-and-gold color scheme: a black base sets a tech-forward tone, while gold accents elevate refined recognition. The design strikes a dynamic balance between fluid lines and angular edges, creating a harmonious static and dynamic presence that perfectly aligns with contemporary fashion trends.

NAVEE XT5 E-Scooter: All-Terrain Off-Road Flagship with Futuristic Mecha Design

Also honored with the Platinum Award, the NAVEE XT5 is the brand’s all-terrain off-road flagship, breaking the traditional boundaries of the electric scooter market. Drawing design inspiration from the mechanical power and dynamic posture of off-road motorcycles, the XT5 reinterprets this aesthetic with a futuristic mecha design language. Equipped with a long-travel suspension system, high ground clearance, and an upward-sloping rear body profile, the vehicle delivers a powerful off-road presence, enhancing adaptability to complex terrain while projecting a stable, reliable, and ready-to-action visual identity.

In line treatment, the design uses sharp, angular fold lines and structurally rich 3D surfaces to fuse speed, impact, and a sense of technology into a cohesive whole. The hollow, floating, and layered frame structure effectively reduces the bulky feel common in off-road models, keeping the vehicle lightweight and agile in appearance despite its robust performance. Exposed suspension and structural components further reinforce the mechanical aesthetic, giving the product exceptional mechanical appeal and recognition. Under the principle of “function-driven aesthetics,” the overall design achieves a balance between off-road performance, mecha style, and modern aesthetics, presenting an all-new travel image that embodies the spirit of exploration and a futuristic vibe.

NAVEE UT5 E-Scooter: Premium Urban Commuter with French Minimalist Style

The NAVEE UT5, a Gold Award winner, caters to urban elite commuters, combining French minimalist streamline design with a premium feel to fit modern urban travel scenarios. It is a high-performance electric scooter crafted for urban explorers, seamlessly integrating supercar-inspired design with riding performance.

Externally, the UT5 continues the supercar design language, featuring a high-gloss silver metallic paint finish and a matte gunmetal gray body, with red performance parts as visual focal points. Gray speed stripes run from the front of the vehicle to the inner rear sides, showcasing a dynamic, wind-swept sports character with a highly impactful racing-inspired aesthetic.

NAVEE NT5 E-Scooter: Off-Road Mainstay with Functional-Driven Aesthetics

The NAVEE NT5, also a Gold Award recipient, is the mainstay of NAVEE’s off-road scooter product line, inheriting the brand’s “function-driven aesthetics” design concept. Its appearance fuses the wildness of motorsports with the precision of modern technology. In the design process, futuristic mecha language is integrated to optimize the riding experience. Functionally, the NT5 adheres to a user-centric approach, featuring an innovatively developed low-position integrated lighting system, an expandable rear wing design, and a professionally tuned combined suspension system. This transforms the vehicle from a simple mobility tool into a personalized carrier connecting users to urban life.
