Naxeon CC3: compact electric scooter appears on Instagram ahead of European launch?

Chinese electric two-wheeler manufacturer Naxeon has posted images of the CC3 on Instagram and Facebook. The scooter does not yet appear on the brand’s international or European websites, but it is already on sale in China and available for pre-order in Bangladesh. The two markets show noticeably different versions of the same vehicle.

Positioning

Naxeon sells the CC3 in China as a lifestyle-oriented entry model aimed at younger riders. It sits below the SC3, SC5 and I AM. models in the brand’s line-up. The design follows what Naxeon calls “Capsule Cross” styling: rounded body panels, a ring-shaped LED headlight, block-pattern tyres, an exposed rear shock and a short tail section. Two variants are offered, the CC3 and the longer-range CC3 Max.

Chassis

The Chinese-market CC3 measures 1,749 mm long, 700 mm wide and 1,103 mm high, with a 1,245 mm wheelbase. Kerb weight is 95 kg and seat height is 750 mm. Naxeon says that suits riders between 155 and 180 cm tall. Ground clearance is 130 mm and there is 14 litres of storage under the seat. The scooter rolls on 3.5-10 tyres, with a hydraulic fork up front and a rear shock with five preload settings. Braking is by a front disc and a rear drum.

NAXEON: “Meet the NAXEON CC3: more than just a lightweight e-scooter; our precise response to the next-gen urban lifestyle.”

Powertrain: China

A 60V hub motor delivers 1,200 W rated and 1,700 W peak output, for a top speed of 45 km/h. In China both variants use lead-acid batteries. The CC3 has a 60V/20Ah pack, rated at 50 km in mixed use and 75 km at a constant 25 km/h. The CC3 Max uses a 60V/32Ah pack, rated at 75 km in mixed use and around 100 km at 25 km/h. Charging power is 240 W. Naxeon quotes a maximum climbing angle of 10.2 degrees, or an 18 percent grade, with a 75 kg rider. The company itself advises riders who regularly tackle steep roads to choose a model with a stronger motor.

Powertrain: Bangladesh

The version offered through Naxeon’s Bangladeshi importer uses lithium-ion batteries and is rated for 60 km/h. The CC3 is quoted at 65 to 70 km of range. The CC3 Max offers 70 to 80 km from a removable battery. The Bangladeshi spec sheet for the CC3 Max lists 1,671 x 694 x 1,075 mm dimensions, a 51 kg weight excluding battery, 10-inch aluminium wheels and a steel tube frame. Local pricing is 98,000 taka for the CC3 and 120,000 taka for the CC3 Max. Seven colours are listed: orange, black, white, dark grey, grey, green and pink.

Connected features

Like other Naxeon models, the CC3 runs the brand’s own software platform. Listed features include Bluetooth, over-the-air updates, app connectivity, smartphone and NFC card unlocking, GNSS tracking, anti-theft alerts and a side-stand sensor. Rider aids include multiple ride modes, a low-speed “snail” mode for manoeuvring, regenerative braking, cruise control, hill hold, hill descent control and a user-adjustable throttle response.

European plans

Naxeon has not announced European pricing, specifications or a launch date for the CC3. The company lists European offices in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands. It is not yet clear whether a European CC3 would follow the 45 km/h Chinese specification, which matches the L1e moped class, or use the lithium-ion batteries of the Bangladeshi version.
