    • Okinawa Okhi90

      9.Okinawa Okhi90

      The Okinawa Okhi-90 looks nothing like the existing products that are on sale in this space. The scooter features the largest wheels in the segment, measuring 16 inches in diameter. Also, it has a long wheelbase of 1,520 mm. The seat height isn’t short by any means either, at 900 mm. Resultantly, the scooter has an impactful road presence. With the use of large wheels, the footwell is not the widest of the lot. Nevertheless, under-seat storage space is rated at 40 liters and comes with a USB port to charge mobile phones. The tail lamp design is neat and makes the scooter look modern. Subtle chrome inserts also amplify the bling factor on the Okhi-90 like the aluminum brake levers.

  • Okinawa PraisePro

    10.Okinawa PraisePro

    The PraisePro is a good-looking scooter that manages to grab attention wherever you go. I had parked it outside a restaurant next to a bright green sports bike, and passersby still took a second look. The LED headlight is just about acceptably powerful, but it does look substantial on the apron and the diffused effect for the LED DRL looks quite nice as well. The scooter also has another set of lights at the front, which stay on for a few seconds after you switch off the bike, similar to the ‘follow-me-home’ lights on cars. Other features borrowed from the car world include a key fob and keyless ignition function. There’s also a neat reverse and forward assist that automatically moves it backward or forward at parking speeds when it detects the rider pushing it; this gets deactivated when you tap on the brakes.
