<p>Such cheap plastics have been used. Not happy with quality of product. For so much money, we are getting no performance, bland styling and no proper servicing.</p>


<p>Nice and easy to ride. The bike is light weight and turning into parking spaces doesn't need much effort. I am charging the battery every morning, and the distance it can travel is decent.</p>


<p>India is not a market for electric bikes and cars. Only petrol vehicles are well accepted in our market. No proper charging facilities, no nothing. And that too, the price is so high.</p>


<p>Following the FAME II subsidy reduction, sales of electric two-wheelers, which had seen a major decline in June of this year, are gradually recovering and have increased in July. Despite the drop in subsidies, two-wheeler sales overall in India went up by more than 11 per cent MoM.&nbsp;The FAME II subsidy was reduced from 40 per cent to 15 per cent, which had an immediate negative effect on the country's EV industry by driving up prices significantly and slowing down sales. Several electric vehicle manufacturers used discount offers as a solution to the problem and to boost sales. This action was a favourable approach to bringing in more buyers. It set forth a new trend in the EV market and increased sales this past month.</p>

<h2>Electric Two-Wheeler Sales: July 2023&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In July 2023, retail sales of electric two-wheelers in India totalled 54,232 units. With an MoM increase of over 11&nbsp;per cent, sales in the said month&nbsp;slightly increased. In July 2023, nearly 90.43 per cent of all registrations were made by the top ten players in the market.&nbsp;Ola Electric continued to hold the top spot in the segment, ahead of TVS Motors, Ather Energy, Bajaj Auto, and Ampere Electric. The top 3 spots are unchanged from the previous month. Ampere Electric lost to Bajaj Auto and came in&nbsp;fifth spot.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola Electric</h2>

<p>When compared to June's sales of 17,623 units, Ola&nbsp;Electric, a major player in the electric scooter market, posted remarkable sales of 19,237 units last month. This represents a strong 9 per cent month-on-month gain. The growth not only highlights Ola's robust market share but also places it at the forefront of progress in the rapidly changing automotive market. The maker also continued to hold a sizable market share of 40 per cent in July.</p>

<h2>TVS Motors</h2>

<p>With sales of 10,330 units in July, a significant 31% rise over June's sales of 7,857 units, TVS has shown significant growth.

<p>Ampere Electric experienced slight but consistent growth last month, with sales increasing from 3,042 units in June to 3,571 units in July. Ampere Electric's rise of 17 per cent month-over-month translated into a 7 per cent market share.</p>

<h2>Okinawa Autotech</h2>

<p>A 14 per cent MoM reduction in sales from 2,619 units in June to 2,263 units in July caused Okinawa Autotech to suffer a minor blow. For the month, the company gained 4% of the market.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/okinawa/" target="_blank">Okinawa Autotech</a>&nbsp;has officially announced its plan to build a mega factory in Karoli, Rajasthan, at a staggering cost of Rs 500 crore.

<p>The new Karoli facility will also cater to Okinawa's recent joint venture (JV) with Italian electric motorcycle manufacturer Tacita (for both domestic and international markets). As per the terms of the JV, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/okinawa/" target="_blank">Okinawa</a> is supposed to provide local assembly operations for a new scooter product line and a high-performance motorcycle (both electric). Both products are due for a 2023 launch.</p>

<p>Sharing his thoughts about the announcement, Jeetender Sharma (Founder &amp; MD, Okinawa Autotech) said, 'As the market leader in the electric two-wheeler segment, we are committed to addressing the most significant issues faced by the sector. The R&amp;D facilities planned in the mega factory will be futuristic to ensure we meet the sector's demand ahead. The mega factory will not only concentrate on the manufacturing of vehicles but&nbsp;also have a supplier park that will take account of motor, controllers, battery packs, and other electrical parts to support the complete EV ecosystem.'</p>

<p>This time last year we were in the first phase of the pandemic and the nation-wide lockdown had us curb our savings and disposable income. Not to mention the confusion with the buyers revolving the transition from BS4 to BS6 norms. That said, the manufacturers had the first half of March 2020 at hand to build their sales number and the country was then put in a lockdown. In this span from April 1, 2020, manufacturers have adopted the new emission norms and have constantly updated their product line to attract potential buyers.

Two-wheeler Sales Report: March 2021

It is the beginning of the financial year 2021-22 and we have received reports from the two-wheeler manufacturer regarding the sales figure in the previous month as well as the closing of financial year, Read the details below

<p><b>Electric scooter manufacturer Okinawa has decided to use its lithium-ion battery pack, which offers better range and a quicker charge time, in&nbsp;its entire product line-up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></p>

<p>Electric two-wheeler maker Okinawa, which was founded in 2015, has officially announced that the company will be pulling the plug on lead-acid battery packs of its scooters. Okinawa began operations when the electric two-wheeler market was at a more nascent stage in India. Lead-acid battery packs are more affordable than high-tech lithium-ion battery packs, which have become the norm in other electric bikes as well. At the time when Okinawa started selling EVs, a large majority of electric scooters sold in India were powered by lead-acid batteries, but now its time for the shift, given the standing of its competition.</p>

<p>'We are shifting to 100 per cent lithium-ion battery pack based two-wheelers. When we launched the brand, lead-acid was the most advanced option available in the market. Now, with rigorous growth of the industry and the brand, we have taken a step ahead and have discontinued lead-acid battery-pack-based products. Not only will Okinawa products be equipped with lithium-ion battery packs, offering efficiency, but they will also come with detachable batteries ensuring convenience to users,' said Jeetender Sharma- MD and Founder, Okinawa.</p>

<p>Okinawa commenced sales of its products three years ago with the lead-acid battery-powered Okinawa Ridge electric scooter and launched four more lead-acid battery electric scooters in the course of time. Over the years, Okinawa gradually brought in lithium-ion battery electric scooters that can hold more charge, can be quickly charged, and offer longer riding range.</p>

<p>Okinawa focuses on domestic production for its e-scooters, as a result, the brand produces a detachable lithium-ion battery, microprocessor controller, and permanent magnet BLDC motor indigenously.</p>

<p>At the moment, Okinawa has five e-scooter models on sale, which include the R30, Lite, Ridge Plus, Praise Pro, and iPraise, with prices ranging between Rs 59,000 and Rs 1.08 lakh&nbsp;(ex-showroom).</p>

<p><strong><em>Okinawa's free-of-cost doorstep delivery service compliments its&nbsp;recently-launched online&nbsp;booking initiative.</em></strong></p>

<p>Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer Okinawa has announced the start of its doorstep delivery&nbsp;service of e-scooters in Bengaluru, starting 15th August 2020. The initiative will be introduced in more cities across the country in the coming months, however, it is subject to the response&nbsp;received by the service in Bengaluru.</p>

<p>The doorstep delivery service will be offered to Okinawa customers free of cost, meaning no additional charges will be added to the E-scooter's cost.

Okinawa begins doorstep delivery of e-scooters in Bengaluru

Okinawa has announced the start of its doorstep delivery service of e-scooters in Bengaluru, starting 15th August 2020. The initiative will be introduced in more cities across the country in the coming months, however, it is subject to the response received by the service in Bengaluru.

<p><b>Okinawa to launch its first 100 per cent locally made two-wheeler in India. Badged as the Oki100, it will be powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and will have a top speed of 100 km/h. </b></p>

<p>Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Okinawa has announced that the company will be launching a new EV in the third quarter of the 2020-21 financial year. This will be Okinawa’s first 100 per cent made in India bike for India, which is why the company has decided to call it the Oki100. Now while Okinawa says that the Oki100 will be completely made in India, its lithium-ion battery cells will be imported. Regardless, it’s still commendable that Okinawa has worked to make the rest of the electric two-wheeler completely in India.</p>

<p>Okinawa has not revealed much else about the upcoming Oki100, but the company has said is that the bike will be capable of reaching 100km/h and that it will have a lithium-ion battery pack. The prototype for the Oki100 was also showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo in Greater Noida.</p>

<p>The Oki100 is the starting point for Okinawa to introduce a range of 100 per cent locally made two-wheelers in India.</p>

<p>“We welcome PM Modi’s vision of ‘vocal for local’. To accelerate the same Okinawa has announced a 100 per cent ‘Make in India’ electric bike. Currently, Okinawa offers maximum localization of electric vehicles, which is 88%. With our upcoming electric bike, we are taking the localization level up to 100 %. All the components of&nbsp;electric motorcycle will be manufactured and sourced from local suppliers. We expect this to boost local suppliers’ domain and inspire all the EV start-ups to go ‘Vocal for local’,” said Jeetender Sharma- MD, Okinawa.</p>

<p><em><b>The reduced prices of Okinawa's electric two-wheelers are in effect from 1st August 2019.</b></em></p>

<p>Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Okinawa becomes the next manufacturer in line to pass on the recent GST rate reduction benefits to its customers. The rate cut (from 12 per cent to 5 per cent) has resulted in a price drop of ₹ 2,500 – ₹ 4,700 on Okinawa's VRLA (Valve-regulated Lead-Acid) battery models (Ridge, Praise &amp; Ridge30). Meanwhile, the advanced Li-ion battery models (I-Praise+ and Ridge+) will see a greater price reduction of ₹ 3,400 – ₹ 8,600 due to the inclusion of FAME-II subsidies.</p>

<p>Sharing his thoughts on the GST Council's welcome move, Mr Jeetender Sharma, Founder &amp; MD at Okinawa Autotech Pvt Ltd, said, ‘The Union budget gave a much-needed push to the EV industry and the GST rate cut is even more welcoming. The 7 per cent GST reduction has reduced the upfront cost of buying an Okinawa scooter by ₹ 2,500 – ₹ 8,600. This, coupled with FAME-II subsidies, will take a significant chunk out of the acquisition price, making our range of scooters strong options for urban commuters.’</p>

<p>Okinawa was also one of the first electric two-wheeler manufacturers in India to achieve compliance for FAME-II incentives. The models eligible for the FAME-II subsidies belong to Okinawa's Li-ion line-up, the I-Praise+ and the Ridge+.</p>

Okinawa e-scooters become more affordable with GST rate cut

Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Okinawa becomes the next manufacturer in line to pass on the recent GST rate reduction benefits to its customers. The rate cut (from 12 per cent to 5 per cent) has resulted in a price drop of ₹ 2,500 – ₹ 8,600.

<p><em><strong>With this achievement, Okinawa becomes the first electric two-wheeler manufacturer in the country to become eligible for customer price rebates under the FAME-II initiative.</strong></em></p>

<p>Recently, the Government of India announced certain guidelines under the FAME-II initiative that dictate the subsidy amount applicable on an electric two-wheeler. While every kind of battery-powered vehicle was earlier eligible for a subsidy under FAME-I, FAME-II guidelines dictate that only vehicles powered by advanced batteries (like those made of Lithium-ion) will be eligible for the rebate benefits. Industry reports suggest that due to this guideline&nbsp;overhaul, nearly 95 per cent of the electric two-wheelers&nbsp;sold in India have become ineligible for the incentives.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, despite&nbsp;this crucial change in place, Okinawa Scooters has announced that it has become the first electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India to get the FAME-II subsidy/rebate compliance certificate from the Automotive&nbsp;Research Association of India (ARAI), which will allow it to pass on price rebates&nbsp;to its customers on select products. Products eligible under this certification belong to Okinawa's Lithium-ion range – the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/okinawa-i-praise-scooter-launched-in-india-at-115-lakh-105374/">i-Praise</a> and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/track-test/okinawa-ridge-track-test-104952/">Ridge+</a>. Further, the subsidy amount will range between&nbsp;₹ 17,000 and&nbsp;₹ 26,000, depending on the kWh rating of the battery used in the product.</p>

<p>'With eligibility under FAME-II, our customers will be able to enjoy standard subsidy depending upon the model battery kWh. We are confident that this will motivate more environment-conscious customers to become a part of the Okinawa family to enjoy not only the benefits of e-scooters but also the advanced features offered in the Okinawa range,'&nbsp;said Mr&nbsp;Jeetender Sharma, Founder &amp; MD, Okinawa Autotech Pvt. Ltd.</p>
