In two hours, the bike can quick charge, while standard charging time is quoted at six to eight hours. There are three speed modes on the scooter - Eco (top speed limited to 35kph), Sporty (65kph) and Turbo (75kph).
The Praise is fitted with side-stand sensors, an anti-theft sensor in the main stand, keyless start, a mobile charging point and a pre-loaded ‘Find My Scooter’ location tracker. The company has committed to invest USD 30 million (about ₹192 crore) over the next three years into new products, improving its capability and for network expansion.
