Okinawa's free-of-cost doorstep delivery service compliments its recently-launched online booking initiative.
Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer 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.
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. Plus, with the recent MoRTH clarification issued regarding the sale of small EVs without batteries, the lower sticker price of small EVs, such as electric two-wheelers, will give their sales & uptake in the country added impetus.
The doorstep delivery program, combined with the online booking initiative, also completes the chain of the contact-less product purchasing process, started by multiple Indian manufacturers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sharing his thoughts on the matter, Mr Jeetender Sharma (MD & Founder - Okinawa) said, 'With the COVID-19 outbreak, it is understood that there is a dire need of change in the operations...the new doorstep-delivery service would ensure that the customer does not have to travel outside to receive their product. Also, proper sanitization of the product would be ensured along with the temperature-check of the delivery person.'
