Gurgaon-based electric scooter maker Okinawa Autotech has delivered PraisePro to Raninder Singh the President of the National Rifle Association of Indian, an accomplished international level trap shooter, who is also the son of Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh. Raninder Singh was recently elected as vice-president of the International Shooting Sports Federation.
The Okinawa PraisePro has been one of the most popular products for the company, and is equipped with a detachable lithium-ion battery and offers an ARAI-certified range of 110km on a single charge in Eco mode. The e-scooter can attain top speed of 70kph.
Jeetender Sharma, co-founder and MD, Okinawa Autotech said: “Okinawa has been trying to break the myths associated with electric vehicles. All our efforts have been in the same direction since the very inception. Now, we have got acknowledgment from the family of Chief Minister of Punjab. It is a great motivation for the team Okinawa. We look forward to serving the country with ‘Make in India’ electric products that will prove at par with the IC Engine.”
Sharing his thoughts on clean mobility, Raninder Singh said “During the lockdown, everybody experienced clean air. This raises a lot of questions about our otherwise daily excessive use of conventional fuel-run vehicles, that are said to contribute up to 28 percent of the air pollution. We understand that you have to be the first adopter of any change that you wish to see in the masses. Technology has evolved in the electric vehicle sector and e mobility is the way forward. We encourage people to opt for electric vehicles and welcome the change.”
“Okinawa’s successful ride to Khardungla pass at Ladakh which is the Highest Motorable Road in the world had caught our attention. If an EV can make it through the treacherous roads then it certainly has a lot to offer in terms of quality and performance,” added Singh.
