Buying I Praise is Waste of Money. There are multiple problems with the bike. Story started from Nov 2018. I gave them the pre-booking cheque in Nov and I was told that by Dec, (i.e next month), you should get bike. Dec, Jan, Feb. Three months I only got dates from dealer for getting delivery. (I wish, I could have understood about the prfessionalism of Okinawa that time). Finally, I got delivery of I Praise in Mar 2019 after waitng for 4 months. During delivery, i was told that battery is already updated and you should get the range of 150-180 kms. But to my surpirse, I got an range of only 80kms. When highlighted about this issue to dealer, he was surprised too to know that batteries are not updated and it will get updated during the first service of 1000 kms. This story is of Mar 2019. When i went for 1st service, there was no update on battery issue (less range). I got a date of next week. Again in next week, one more date. Finally when i blasted on dealer, I was told that battery update test has failed and they are unable to update any battery as of now and will have to wait till the next update from Okinawa. Again one more date. After waiting for nearly 2 months, I was told by the dealer that Okinawa has now signed a agreement with the new battery company who has started making batteries for us. after waiting for nearly a month, dealer tell that there as a fire in premises of this new battery company and will have to wait futher till we get a battery. This was crazy. I contacted Me. Sandeep and checked with him, again one more date of next week.
Even Mr. sandeep has no clue if battery will be dispatched on next date which is given. As of now, I am unable to use this bike because my daily commute to office and home is around 90 kms. and I am getting a range of only 65kms.
Problems are -
1. Does not gives the range of more than 60 to 65 kms even in economy mode.
2. All of a sudden, battery performance is dropped reducing the range.
3. Speedometer shows incorrect speed and kms travelled.
4. bike makes lot of noise even after getting serviced.
5. parts used are of extremely low quality.
I will not recommend anyone to buy this scooter
