Okinawa Praise range and running cost
Certified range 88 km. What it costs per km, per month and over five years.
Certified vs real range
The Praise is rated at 88 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Among the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 68th for range, 34 km below the group average of 122 km.
Charging at home in Delhi at about ₹7.5/unit, a 3.3 kWh pack costs roughly ₹27 to fill and works out to about ₹0.31 per km. Riding 30 km a day, that is around ₹241 a month, a fraction of what a petrol scooter costs to run.

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Praise works out to about ₹2.6 per km all-in, of which 12% is electricity and 76% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; a nameplate this established holds value well.
Getting the most range
On the Praise, treat the mode selector as a range dial: the top mode trades roughly a third of the range for speed, and sustained runs above 60 km/h are where the pack empties fastest.
Regenerative braking helps most in stop-start traffic, so leave it on its strongest setting for the commute; it earns back a few kilometres a day and saves the brake pads.
Because the battery is removable, charge it indoors at room temperature where you can. A pack that sits in the sun or a cold stairwell loses a little range before you set off.
Cold mornings, a heavy pillion and under-inflated tyres each trim range. Budget for roughly 70% of the certified figure until you have measured your own.

Praise range: questions people ask
- 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.
- How long does the Praise take to charge?
- About 3 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- 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.
