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, and a new global player believes it is perfectly placed to lead that evolution.
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.
Elsewhere, the first products to emerge from NAVEE’s golf division were the Birdie 3 and the now flagship Birdie 3X electric golf trolleys.
The process to this point has been a gradual one. It has seen the company spending the last five years building its reputation in the electric scooter market, developing connected transport products that have attracted more than 600,000 users worldwide.
Since launching, its 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.
It combines advanced technology, premium design and everyday practicality to create products used by more than 600,000 people worldwide.
The company now operates across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, the Middle East and Latin America. In doing so, they have helped save an estimated 3.09 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions.
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 the like of 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.
They are now applying that same knowledge into golf. The electric golf trolley industry can be viewed as a natural extension of their smart mobility monopoly.
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 develop a whole ecosystem of golf products after barely a year in the golf space.
