The upcoming motorcycle, which will rival the newly launched Revolt RV range, will be priced aggressively. Okinawa Autotech plans to launch the product in the sub-INR 1 lakh price bracket, adds the source report. In comparison, the top-spec Revolt RV 400 Premium is available at an effective price of INR 1,47,963* (INR 3,999 for 37 months). The effective price for the standard RV 400 and the lower-spec RV 300 is INR 1,29,463* (INR 3,499 for 37 months) and INR 1,10,963* (INR 2,999 for 37 months) respectively.
The Okinawa Autotech electric motorcycle will boast a top speed of 100 km/h and a range of 150 km, and these figures that are very close to the Revolt RV 400's specs. Standard features will most likely comprise full-LED lighting, digital instrument console, removable battery pack and a USB charger.
In an interview with Moneycontrol, Jeetender Sharma, Managing Director, Okinawa Electric Scooters, said:
After the successful launch of the PraisePro electric scooter where we have got very encouraging bookings we are now looking to launch our first electric motorcycle. This will be a premium offering but we know the importance of pricing and that is why we will price it below Rs 1 lakh.
