DUAL Purpose E-Vehicle

Okinawa Autotech has launched Dual, an electric scooter that is aimed at both the B2B as well as the B2C segment. Since its speed is restricted to 25kmpl, the Okinawa Dual will not need any government registration and neither will one need a driver’s license to ride it.

The Dual will be offered with a choice of 28Ah, 35Ah and 55Ah lithium-ion battery. The prices of these models will be Rs 58998, Rs 69,999 and Rs 79,998 respectively (all ex showroom). Unfortunately, this e-scooter does not qualify for incentives under the Government’s FAME II scheme (which in force from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022) despite the fact it has an advanced lithium ion battery because it does not meet the condition of “registered vehicles”.

The e-scooter comes in fire red and sunshine yellow colours. We got a sunshine yellow coloured vehicle for review with a 55Ah lithium-ion battery..

Let me come straight to the product. If you see its side profile, you will get to see a wide u shaped kind of metal frame. This frame is rock solid. It is like the chassis of the vehicle. The real purpose of making such a strong vehicle is to ensure that it is able to carry out the functions that it is built for in the B2B segment.

And to make things easier for those operating in the last mile delivery business, the company is also offering a whole host of accessories for carrying goods of various nature. These include strong metal delivery box carriers for the front and rear, delivery boxes of different sizes, stackable crates carrier, water bottle carrier, gas cylinder carrier, food delivery box with carrier, medical diagnosis box with carrier, etc.
