One of the major concerns of people who
are planning to buy an electric two-wheeler is the range that the machine can
provide in a single charge. Gurgaon-based electric vehicle manufacturer Okinawa
has tried to solve this issue with its Praise Pro electric scooter which is
capable of covering a distance of 110 km in just 3 hours of charging.
The Okinawa Praise Pro is equipped with a
2 kW detachable lithium-ion battery pack which can be charged via any 5 Amp
plug similar to where we charge our smartphones. The battery pack requires 3
hours to get fully juiced up. Since it is detachable, it can be swapped with a
fully-charged unit when needed.
Okinawa, the first company to receive FAME
2 approval in the electric two-wheeler segment, has provided the electric
scooter with a 1.0 kW BLDC waterproof electric motor which is capable of
producing 2.5 kW of peak power. This combination enables the Praise Pro to
provide a range of up to 100-110 km in a single charge and also achieve a top
speed of over 70 km/h. Apart from providing a good range, the Okinawa Praise
Pro also has an attractive design. It comes with a stylish LED projector
headlamp that is accompanied by LED DRLs. At the back, there is an LED taillamp
with defogger.
The Okinawa Praise Pro electric scooter is
available for INR 79,277 (ex-showroom) and has 3 colour options - Glossy Red
Black, Glossy Sparkle Black, and Glossy Blue Black. It comes with a 3-year
warranty on the battery and electric motor. Okinawa is also providing roadside
assistance with each of their high-speed scooters, including the Praise Pro.
In other news, Okinawa sold the
highest-number of high-speed electric scooters in India in FY2020. It was the
only EV maker in the country to cross the 10,000 sales mark in the high-speed
electric scooter segment in the last fiscal.
