The brand will also launch an electric scooter for commercial purposes
- Apart from the two scooters, Okinawa will also be launching the Oki100 Electric bike and the Cruiser electric maxi-scooter.
- All the four models will be reportedly launched in March 2020.
- The expected price for the performance scooter is around Rs 1.2 lakh.
Okinawa plans to launch two more electric scooters alongside the Oki100 and the Okinawa cruiser. One of them is a performance electric scooter and the other electric scooter that will cater to the B2B market.
The performance electric scooter is expected to be loaded with features like smartphone connectivity, over the air updates, built-in navigation and a few more. Even though the focus is on performance, the scooter is reported to have a high range too. The price for the performance e-scooter will likely be on par with the Ather 450 Plus electric scooter, which retails at Rs 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Okinawa’s B2B serving electric scooter will likely be adopted by food delivery, courier and other local transport services. Thus, the model will not only reportedly have better load-carrying capacity but also extended range, low-acquisition and running cost. The scooter will likely rival the Hero Electric Nyx HX both in terms of price and performance.
Currently, Okinawa has 350 dealerships all in the country and plans to open 150 more before the of FY 2020.
We caught up with Okinawa’s Managing Director, Jeetender Sharma and got some insight on the Oki100 electric bike and the Okinawa Cruiser electric scooter.
The Oki100 is the first electric bike for the brand. Its performance will be equivalent to that of a 125cc petrol-powered bike. To read more about it, click here.

Okinawa Oki100 User Reviews
- Best Electric Vehicle
The e-bike I am riding is the best - best mileage, best pickup, and best e-bike speed, along with a great look.
- HATS OFF OKINAWA
First of all, hats off to the Okinawa team for developing the oki 100 which i am falling in love with recently. This bike is worth every penny. Starting from 1. Fast charging 2. 150 km per charge is quite a mesmerizing mileage for an EV 3. Only 2 hours required for charging 4. It supports a detachable lithium ion battery which can be detached easily while charging. 5. Maintenance cost will be less as all the parts of the oki 100 will be made in INDIA except for the lithium ion battery. 6. It is not motor driven . It is belt driven. i.e a belt is present instead of a motor which rotates the wheels. And, Last but not the least, my main reason for going gaga over this bike is because i am quite a fan of the ducati monster which i am unable to buy as it is out of my budget. Really, cant even wait a month to be the first customer. Hope my review reaches out to all the people and also you guys.
