Okinawa Autotech, the electric two-wheeler manufacturer, announced an upgrade to its chassis for its entire portfolio sold in India. The chassis of the electric scooter is revised to improve the rider’s stance on the scooter. The first scooters in the portfolio to get these upgrades are the Praise Pro and the iPraise+, wherein the height of the down frame chassis is reduced by 40 mm allowing Okinawa to place the battery lower in the floorboard of the scooter. The reworked chassis aids in improving the rider triangle by lowering the floorboard.
