Okinawa Raise specifications and features
Discontinued 2020Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed.
A spec sheet on its own says little. Here every Raise figure is set against the average for the 89 electric scooters on this site, so you can see which numbers are ordinary for the class and which ones set it apart.
The 1.2 kWh battery is 1.6 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 84th of 89. Certified range of 65 km is 56 km below the class average of 121 km, 83rd of 89.
Charging time is 6 hours, 1.1 hours above the class average of 4.9 hours, 61st of 82. Plan on an overnight charge rather than a top-up between errands. Top speed is 25 km/h, 42 km/h below the class average of 67 km/h, 72nd of 89. Seat height is 735 mm, 40 mm below the class average of 775 mm, 53rd of 58. Most riders from about 5'2" will get both feet flat.

Dimensions in practice
The Raise has an 735 mm seat, 160 mm of ground clearance. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
Tyres are 3.00-10Tubeless front and 3.00-10Tubeless 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.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Electric
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Convenience
Keyless start
Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.
Equipment against SX25, Pony and E2Go
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
