Okai Neon: Everything You Need to Know

Three retail cards share the name. Lite ES10: 15.5 mph and 18.6 miles, $499.99 from $649.99. The middle card repeats that speed and claims 25 miles. Pro ES30: 20 mph and a 50-mile claim, $679.99 from $849.99.

The short answer

Okai Neon is three retail kick scooters, not one. Lite ES10 is $499.99 from $649.99, at 15.5 mph and 18.6 miles, with a 300-watt chip. ES20 is $649.99, repeats that speed, and claims 25 miles, with a 600-watt chip. The Pro is $679.99 from $849.99, at 20 mph, with a 50-mile claim and a 700-watt chip. A French Lite sheet prints 280Wh. The middle card’s spare pack is 352.8Wh.

Okai Neon is a family name, not one kick scooter. OKAI’s own shop, okai.co, sells three retail cards under it. Neon Lite ES10 is $499.99 from $649.99, titled as limited inventory. The chips say 18.6 miles, 15.5 mph, a 300W motor, and 9-inch wheels, and the page says UL. Neon II ES20 is listed at that same $649.99 and, on this crawl, out of stock. Its chips say 25 miles, the same speed, 600W, a 220 lb payload, UL, and 8.5-inch wheels. Neon Pro ES30 is $679.99 from $849.99. The heading says only 4 left. The chips say 50 miles, 20 mph, 700W, 220 lb, UL, and 10-inch wheels. None of them has pedals. None of them is a Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycle. The domain okai.com is a solder company in New Jersey. It is not this brand.

What is printed
Lite ES10Shop chips: 15.5 mph, 18.6 miles, 300W, 9-inch wheels, UL, $499.99 from $649.99. A bullet says a 33 lb frame. Modes on the page: about 3.1 mph, about 9.3 mph, and the sport chip again. Best Buy’s sheet: 36V 7.8Ah, range 18.64 miles, net 33 lb, rated 300W, max 600W, IP55, 20% incline, 220 lb, front electronic brake, rear disc, UL 2272:2019.
ES10 pack mathA French sheet prints 280Wh for 36V and 7.8Ah, net weight 15 kg, EU speed of 25 km/h, range of 30 km. Thirty-six times 7.8 is 280.8. The sheet prints 280. An older ES10 manual also lists a 5.2Ah version at 14.5 kg and 20 km, beside the 7.8Ah version at 15 kg and 30 km. Same model code, two packs.
ES20Shop chips: the Lite’s speed again, a 25-mile claim, 600W, 8.5-inch wheels, $649.99, out of stock on this crawl. The spare-battery listing prints 36V 9.8Ah and 352.8Wh, Samsung 21700. Thirty-six times 9.8 is 352.8. A Canadian retailer page prints 55 km, 34 miles, and 25 miles on one sheet, and both 16 mph and 15.5 mph. Do not average those.
ES30Shop chips: 20 mph, a 50-mile claim, 700W, 10-inch wheels, $679.99 from $849.99, heading says 4 left. Bullets: 20% gradient, front electronic brake, rear disc, charge about 6 to 8 hours in the FAQ. An Amazon listing prints 691Wh and a $649.99 tag. The shop chips do not print watt-hours. Do not move 691 onto the chip.
A 2022 testRider Guide’s February 2022 test of a scooter titled Neon measured 16.0 mph, 13.8 miles, and 39.0 lb, with a 220 lb limit. That scale is not the Lite’s 33 lb, and 16.0 is not the chip. The test is a record. It is not a reason to rewrite the current card.
Fleet versus retailOKAI also builds share scooters. This row is the retail cards above. A city firmware can cap a fleet unit without changing the shop chip. This desk is not assigning the Neon name to a specific operator.

Eighteen point six miles is the Lite claim, and 30 km is the same claim in the French sentence. Twenty-five miles is the middle card. Fifty miles is the Pro. A Canadian page that prints all three distances for one model is not a fourth battery. Thirty-nine pounds is a 2022 scale. Thirty-three pounds is the current Lite bullet. Leave them apart.

The Lite chip says 15.5 mph and 18.6 miles. The middle card repeats the speed and claims 25 miles. The Pro chip says 20 mph and claims 50 miles.

Who it is for

Buy the Lite if the photo shows 9-inch tires and the price is the $499.99 sale, and if you can accept a card marked limited. Buy the middle card only if 8.5-inch tires and a 25-mile claim are what you wanted, and check the out-of-stock line before you pay $649.99. Buy the Pro if you wanted 20 mph, 10-inch tires, and the 50-mile claim, at $679.99 rather than the Amazon tag. Do not buy any of them because a share scooter in your city wears a similar light bar.

A UL line does not create a bicycle. The three-class test still wants pedals and a motor under 750 watts on a bike. A Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro is a different commuter, with a 446Wh first generation and a 468Wh second. A Segway Ninebot E2 Pro prints 275Wh and a speed that is 18.6 mph on the US page and 15.5 mph on the Asia-Pacific page. The watt-hour page is why 36 times 7.8 is the Lite check, and why 352.8 belongs to the middle card’s spare pack.
