In short
The Okinawa i-Praise is a well-rounded electric scooter launched in 2019, with a 2.5 kW motor, disc brakes at both ends and a claimed 139 km range, priced from ₹1,23,155. It balances range, features and price better than most rivals in this bracket, making it one of the stronger all-round picks here.

What doesn't

Range and charging
The i-Praise is rated at 139 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Motor and ride
The i-Praise's 2.5 kW motor is the 40rd most powerful among the 76 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 58 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 5 hours. The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors if you cannot park near a plug.
Chassis hardware includes single-channel ABS, with a disc, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 2 piston caliper at the rear.
At 800 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The i-Praise is Okinawa's strongest all-rounder in this batch, launched in 2019 and still holding up well on paper with a 2.5 kW motor, disc brakes at both ends and a claimed 139 km range from a 3.3 kWh battery, priced from ₹1,23,155. It scores highly across efficiency and features without a glaring weakness, which is rarer than it sounds in this segment.
Riding it every day
An 800 mm seat height and 175 mm ground clearance should suit most riders and handle Indian speed breakers reasonably well. Disc brakes front and rear with E-ABS should give confident stopping power for a scooter of this size, and the feature list, including Bluetooth, turn-by-turn navigation, keyless start and cruise control, is genuinely comprehensive for the price. A 58 kmph top speed is enough for city use but not much beyond it.
What to know before buying
The 3-year, 30,000 km battery warranty is a clear, standard figure consistent with rivals, so buyers should use that as the reliable number and confirm the separate vehicle warranty term directly with an Okinawa dealer.
Who should buy it
This suits a buyer who wants strong range and a full feature set without paying a premium for a newer badge, and who mostly rides within city limits. Anyone chasing outright top speed or the newest hardware in the segment should compare it against more recently launched rivals like the Ather Rizta first.

On safety kit the i-Praise has single-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.
Against SR 175, Dual 100 or Nexus, it gets rear disc brake, keyless start, cruise control and companion app that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: colour tft console, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 6 colours: Black, Red, Ocean Blue, Electric Green, Mauve Purple and Liquid Metal. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 30,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.
Service reach is the weak point: Okinawa has about 450 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.
On sale since 2019, the i-Praise is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
i-Praise: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Okinawa i-Praise?
- The i-Praise is priced at ₹1,23,155 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance.
- What is the on-road price of the i-Praise in Delhi?
- About ₹1.3 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,22,955 ex-showroom plus ₹1,500 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹5,694 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.
- What is the real range of the i-Praise?
- The certified range is 139 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
- How much does the i-Praise cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.20 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹153 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the i-Praise?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹3,910 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the i-Praise take to charge?
- About 5 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- Is the i-Praise suitable for short riders?
- Mostly. Seat height is 800 mm, which suits riders from about 5'5". Shorter riders should sit on one at the showroom.

- Is the i-Praise's 58 kmph top speed a limitation for city riding?
- For most city traffic and arterial roads 58 kmph should feel adequate, but riders who regularly need to keep pace with faster mixed traffic or highway stretches may find it limiting compared to quicker rivals.
- Can the i-Praise's battery be removed for charging inside an apartment?
- It is listed with a removable battery, which should make charging possible without dedicated two-wheeler parking near a socket, though exact pack weight is not specified, so check how manageable it is to carry.
