- The i-Praise gets a lighter lithium-ion battery unit that is detachable for easy charging.
- The new battery pack has a claimed range of 160-180km and a charging time of 2-3 hours.
- New features include Geo-fencing, Battery Health Tracker, GPS and vehicle status.
- Priced at Rs 71,460, Okinawa also sells a more affordable Praise electric scooter without the above-mentioned features and with a heavier lead-acid battery.
Okinawa has launched the i-Praise electric scooter, which is essentially the Praise electric scooter with a lithium-ion battery and new upmarket features. It gets a detachable battery unit that can be taken out of the scooter and charged at home via a 5A socket. The charge time is a claimed 2-3 hours which is 30 to 40 per cent less than your conventional lead acid battery. Its claimed range is 160-180km. Claimed range for the lead acid battery powered Praise was 170-200km though in real-world tests we got close to 110km tested range. Therefore we can expect a slightly less real-world figure from the i-Praise..
The best part is that it is significantly lighter than its lead acid battery-equipped sibling and that should not just help in improving performance, but handling as well. Especially in Okinawa바카라™s case, it should help reduce the front handlebar shake we experienced while reviewing the lead acid battery-equipped Praise.
In addition, the scooter also gets features like Geo-fencing, GPS, battery health tracking and vehicle status that can be accessed via the 바카라˜Okinawa Eco바카라™ app. This app is only available for Android OS. The price tag of Rs 1.15 lakh puts the Okinawa i-Praise close to the Ather S340 and S450. The Ather might be a superior scooter, but is currently sold only in Bangalore, whereas the Praise and i-Praise, both, are available across India.
