We try out an electric scooter that on paper gives the internal combustion scoot a run for its money. But can it really be an alternative and compete with the everyday commuter?
It all started several years ago with the humble twist grip two stroke scooter. Then came the automatics that wiped the conventional geared scoot out of the market. Now, decades later the future seems to be electric and we have something which looks rather promising the —Okinawa Praise.
At first glance the Praise looks impressive. Dimensions reveal that it is longer than the market leader Honda Activa. It is also wider and dare we say marginally taller. The front end looks a bit bulbous and that's because it is designed to hide the electronics. The headlamp unit is state-of-the-art and comes with daytime running lights, full LED headlights and even turn signals. The unit fits flush within the body and overall quality remains high.
