Range and charging
The Praise is rated at 88 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Motor and ride
The Praise's 2.5 kW motor is the 39rd 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 3 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 Praise has been part of Okinawa's lineup since 2017 and remains a strong value pick, with a 2.5 kW motor, disc brakes at both ends and a genuinely generous feature list, priced from ₹85,223. Its 88 km claimed range is its weak point against similarly priced rivals, but the features-per-rupee equation still works in its favour.
Riding it every day
An 800 mm seat height and 175 mm ground clearance should suit most riders on typical city roads and speed breakers. The projector headlamp, keyless start, cruise control and reverse mode are all genuine conveniences rarely bundled together at this price point. A 58 kmph top speed keeps it comfortable in city traffic but not ideal for sustained faster arterial roads.
What to know before buying
Rivals like the iVOOMi Jeet X and Ola S1 Air, both close in price, claim somewhat longer range, so buyers prioritising distance over features should compare those numbers directly. A 3-year warranty on both vehicle and battery, capped at 30,000 km, is a reasonable, standard package for the segment. Since this model has been around since 2017, ask the dealer whether the current unit reflects any running updates to the battery or electronics.
Who should buy it
This suits a buyer who wants a well-equipped electric scooter for predictable short-to-medium daily commutes and values features like cruise control and keyless start over outright range. Riders who need to cover longer distances daily should compare the Jeet X or S1 Air on range before deciding.

On safety kit the 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 Jeet X, LXS 2.0 or ETrance Neo, it gets rear disc brake, projector headlamp, led daytime running lamp and led tail lamp that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: bluetooth connectivity, fast charging and companion app, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 8 colours: White, Olive Green, Mocha Brown, Seafoam Green, Sun Orange, Black, Blue and Glossy Red Black. 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 2017, the Praise is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
Praise: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Okinawa Praise?
- The Praise is priced at ₹85,223 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 Praise in Delhi?
- About ₹90,861 for the base variant in Delhi: ₹84,443 ex-showroom plus ₹1,500 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹4,918 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.
- What is the real range of the Praise?
- The certified range is 88 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
- How much does the Praise cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.31 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹241 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the Praise?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,700 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the Praise take to charge?
- About 3 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- Is the 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.
- Praise or Jeet X: which is better?
- The Jeet X is ₹224 less expensive to start and more efficient at 120 km against 88 km. Pick the Praise for features on a budget, the Jeet X for daily commuting on main roads. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Praise?
- Among the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed, the LEO (₹84,360), the Wolf (₹61,877), the ETrance Neo (₹84,833) start lower.
- Is the Okinawa Praise still a good buy given how long it has been on sale?
- It remains on Okinawa's current lineup rather than discontinued, so parts and service should still be available, but buyers should ask the dealer whether the exact variant on offer has had any recent updates to its features or battery.
- Is 88 km of range enough for a daily two-way commute?
- For a round trip up to about 30 km it should be workable with a comfortable margin, but longer daily commutes would eat into that buffer faster than the claimed figure suggests.
