Okinawa Praise

The Okinawa Praise looks like a practical daily commuter. It is available in Glossy Purple/Black, Matte Blue/Black, and Matte Golden/Black.

It gets an LED headlamp with DRLs and a fully digital instrument cluster with a blue backlight. The console displays speed, battery level and trip meter. The silver accents over the dash are nicely done and add to the scooter’s appeal big time. The seat seems to have been covered with premium material. There is resting support for the pillion for enhanced comfort. The side stand of the scooter comes with a side stand sensor that does not allow the vehicle to start when the stand is engaged, which certainly is a useful feature to have in a scooter. Adding to its appeal, there are 12-inch alloy wheels with discs and golden covers for the front telescopic forks. On the convenience front, there is a 19.5-litre under seat storage compartment.

Under the skin, the new Praise has an electric motor that is powered by a 72 Volt/45Ah lead-acid battery, which churns out 3.5bhp power and a massive 40Nm of peak torque. The scooter offers a range of 170 to 200Km on one full charge. The battery can be completely charged in 6 to 8 hours. There are three riding modes: Economy, Sporty and Turbo. In the Economy mode, the scooter can hit a max speed of 35kmph, in the Sporty mode it can do 65kmph and in the Turbo mode, it can go as high as 75kmph according to the company. 

Okinawa Praise features hydraulic telescopic forks at the front and gas-charged hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear.  The scooter gets disc brakes at both, front as well as rear. The front features a unique dual disc brake setup while the rear comes with single disc brake. 

The Okinawa Praise gets disc brakes on both wheels and tubeless tyres.
