While the specs of the new Okinawa electric scooter are yet to be announced, speculations are that it would provide a range of up to 100 km on a single full charge. Since the company has discontinued the usage of lead-acid batteries in its E2W, the new Dual electric scooter should come equipped with a Lithium-ion battery pack which is likely to be swappable.
The new Okinawa Dual electric scooter is expected to be a budget-friendly offering from the company targetted towards the delivery service sector in the country. According to a statement released by the EV-maker:
The Dual will transform the delivery service sector. With COVID-19 resulting in fundamental shifts in the consumer buying patterns, there is an evident surge in e-commerce and online ordering across categories that continue to register strong growth even in the aftermath of the lockdowns. There is no better time than now for the last-mile sector to switch to Electric Vehicles and thus, the launch of Okinawa Dual seems perfectly timed.
Based on a Dec 2020 report, Okinawa is expected to launch two new electric scooters in 2021. Out of the two products, one will be a heavy-duty model targeted for commercial usage whereas the other one will be a high-performance EV. Going by the known details of the upcoming Okinawa Dual, it looks like it is a totally new product altogether. What do you guys think? Drop a comment below.
