The Okinawa Oki100 was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2018. The electric motorcycle should have made it to the showrooms by now, however, perhaps, the Covid-19 pandemic pushed things off track. Earlier reports suggested that Gurugram-based electric two-wheeler company Okinawa is expected to launch its first electric motorcycle, the Oki100, in the Indian market in March 2021. And now it seems that it will.
Okinawa has released the first official
teaser of the Oki100. The picture shows us the electric motorcycle partially
covered by smoke. The image also says “The Silent Beast” and “Coming Soon”.
This indeed means that the Oki100 electric motorcycle will be launched in the
Indian market soon. As of now, there are no official details about the Okinawa
Oki100. However, previous data tells us that the electric motorcycle would come
equipped with features such as a fully-digital instrument cluster with
Bluetooth connectivity, a swappable battery pack, fast charging support,
full-LED lighting, front and rear disc brakes and single-channel ABS.
The Okinawa Oki100 electric motorcycle is
expected to have a top speed of 100km/h. While we don’t know the battery pack
capacity, speculations say that it will be sufficient to provide a max range of
around 150km. Okinawa had earlier revealed that the Oki100 will use Lithium-ion
batteries. The company also said that except for the battery cells, all the
parts and components of the Oki100 will be manufactured in India. Since the
teaser of the Okinawa Oki100 is now out, we are expecting the electric
motorcycle to hit the showrooms very soon. It is being anticipated that the E2W
would cost around INR 1 lakh. When launched, it will lock horns with the likes
of the Revolt RV400 and recently-launched Kabira KM3000.
In other news, Okinawa has launched its
new Dual electric scooter in January 2021. It has been designed to transform
the last-mile delivery services in the country.
