Okinawa Ridge 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.
The figures below are the manufacturer's. To make them mean something, each is read against the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed: the class average is the number to beat, and the rank shows how far the Ridge is from the ends of the field.
The 1.2 kW motor is 3.8 kW below the class average of 5 kW, 60th of 77. Battery of 1.4 kWh is 1.3 kWh below the class average of 2.7 kWh, 72nd of 89. Certified range of 80 km is 41 km below the class average of 121 km, 73rd of 89.
Charging time is 8 hours, 3 hours above the class average of 5 hours, 77th of 82. Plan on an overnight charge rather than a top-up between errands. Top speed is 45 km/h, 22 km/h below the class average of 67 km/h, 69th of 89. Kerb weight is 96 kg, 11 kg below the class average of 107 kg, 25th of 69. That is weight you notice at walking pace, in a U-turn and when pushing it into a parking spot.
Seat height is 774 mm, right on the class average of 776 mm. Most riders from about 5'2" will get both feet flat.

Dimensions in practice
The Ridge weighs 96 kg with fluids, has an 774 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 10x3.0Tubeless front and 10x3.0Tubeless 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 Edge
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
