Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed.

Dimensions in practice
The i-Praise has an 800 mm seat, 175 mm of ground clearance. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
Tyres are 90/90-12tubelesstyres front and 90/90-12tubelesstyres rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Keyless start
Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Electric
Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Reverse mode
Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Companion app
Charge status, location and ride stats on your phone.
Equipment against SR 175, Dual 100 and Nexus
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
