additional LED light strips on the sides of the apron accentuate the sporty
intent of the scooter. The Praise features a telescopic front fork with gold

The scooter will come with
anti-theft sensor on the main stand; and it will also be the fastest electric
scooter in the country. The existing scooter, the Ridge has a claimed top speed
of 55 kmph. Expect the Praise to come with a Lithium-ion battery instead of the
VRLA unit which the Ridge uses.
Bookings of the Okinawa Ridge are open at a token
amount of INR 2,000. The Ridge costs INR 42,400 ex-showroom, and expect the
Praise to command a premium of INR 10,000-15,000 over the Ridge.
