The Okinawa Oki100 would have already been on sale by now, however, the Covid-19 pandemic pushed the company’s plans off track. There are no solid details about the upcoming electric motorcycle. However, based on the previous data, it should come equipped with features such as a fully-digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, swappable battery pack, fast charging support, full-LED lighting, front and rear disc brakes and single-channel ABS.
Okinawa had earlier stated that except for the battery cells, all the parts and components of the Oki100 will be manufactured in India. While we don’t have the official figures regarding the battery capacity and range, Okinawa has revealed that the electric motorcycle will use lithium-ion batteries and have a top speed of 100 km/h. When launched, the Oki100’s main rival will be the Revolt RV400. As for the pricing, it is expected to cost around INR 1 lakh.
In other news, Okinawa has discontinued its electric scooters that used lead-acid batteries. Moving forward, the company will only use lithium-ion batteries in its products.
