The electric golf trolley market has become one of the fastest-moving equipment categories in the game.

Auto-follow technology, app connectivity, and smarter battery systems are changing how golfers walk the course. In among all that there’s a new global player.

Rather than emerging from the traditional golf industry, NAVEE arrives with a very different background.

Founded in 2021, NAVEE has quickly established itself as one of the fastest-growing names in the global smart mobility industry. The company, originating from China, specialises in electric scooters and intelligent mobility solutions.

It’s a journey that originally started with the release of the N65 scooter. More recently, NAVEE has introduced its flagship ST3 and GT3 scooter ranges, alongside additions such as the XT5, GT5, G5 and K100 Series.

Their products that have attracted more than 600,000 users worldwide.

In fact, since launching, NAVEE’S products have covered more than 720 million kilometres globally while operating across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Latin America.

Now the company is bringing that same expertise into golf.

A look at NAVEE’S golf range

The first products to emerge from NAVEE’s golf division were the Birdie 3 and the now flagship Birdie 3X electric golf trolleys.

Released in 2025, the Birdie 3 provides the core electric trolley experience, and the Birdie 3X introduces auto-follow technology – an increasingly popular feature that allows the trolley to automatically track the golfer around the course.

Both models feature a 220Wh battery capable of up to 36 holes on a single charge, power-assist functionality, remote-control operation, app connectivity and a stable wheel design capable of tackling gradients of up to 25 per cent.

The brand is looking to expand their catalogue and develop a whole ecosystem of golf products in the near future.

Across all sectors of the business, they have collaborated with some notable sports and social media figures. NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garrett was announced earlier this year as a brand ambassador for the Americas.

He follows former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud in being named as an ambassador for NAVEE.

Lucy Robson, a golf influencer, also spearheads their smart electric golf trolley and pushcart range in the UK.

Elsewhere, NAVEE has invested heavily in developing its own intelligent mobility technology and established an in-house manufacturing facility just two years after launching.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
