the Praise controller of EABS (Electronic assist braking system) which enables
the re-generation of power further adding to the best in class performance of
the vehicle.
Jeetender Sharma of Okinawa said
“With Praise, Okinawa’s years of painstaking research have finally found a
tangible shape. Across the industry, it has been considered as one of the most
complete e-scooters ever built, with a combination of superlative design and
technology that gives it immense power. Every feature in ‘Praise’ has been
added after careful consideration of the needs and preferences of riders which
came after the rigorous screening of each components & day long endurance
testing of Praise of around 25,000 km different parts of the country that
immensely facilitate their commuting experience. In an effort to further
facilitate buyers interested in opting for ‘Praise’, HDFC Bank in partnership
with Okinawa will provide easy financing options for the e-vehicle with loans
up to 80% of the on-road price of the e-scooter. This offer will be available
on a Pan-India basis, facilitating the growing market for the e-vehicle in
tier-I, II and III cities. We firmly believe that ‘Praise’ will be gladly
welcomed by Indian users and prove to be the harbinger for a new age of
e-vehicle revolution on Indian roads.”
