Now, with such a significant price-cut, customers will find these e-scooters more affordable. Recently, the government of India has also decided to waive of the registration fees on electric vehicles for encouraging widespread adaption of e-mobility.

Last month the retail sales of EVs were affected badly due to lockdown across the nation. Hopefully, as the lockdown will gradually relax in various regions, the price-cut in the electric vehicle segment will prompt more people to switch to EVs.

Okinawa scooters are quite popular due to their detachable lithium-ion battery. This allows the customer to retrieve the battery and charge it anywhere as per their convenience. Within 1-hour the battery can juice itself up to 80%.
