Okinawa Ridge

Price: The Ridge Plus (without GPS) comes at a price of Rs 84,606, with Ridge Plus (with GPS) being priced at Rs 90,606. The flagship Ridge 100, almost double the battery capacity costs Rs 1,15,311 (prices ex-showroom, including FAME-2 subsidy).

Design: The Ridge comes with an apron mounted headlight, a trend which was kickstarted by Honda Dio, back in the days. The front turn-signals are mounted on the head assembly. Okinawa Ridge comes with a flat floorboard, with a distinctively designed dual-tone floor mat. It has a single-piece seat, with black-coloured pillion grab-handle. It comes with aluminum-alloy brake levers and chrome highlights on the handlebars for a dash of premium-ness.

Features: Okinawa Ride comes with a fully-digital instrument console, which shows information like speed, odometer/trip-meter readings, battery level indication and supports smartphone connectivity through Bluetooth. Other notable features include Central Locking with Anti-theft Alarm, Keyless Entry, Find My Scooter Function, Geo-Fencing, Immobilization, Trips, Tracking & Monitoring, Maintenance/Insurance Reminder, Battery info and Driver Score. The e-scooter is available without the GPS-based features too. Its portable battery is housed right beneath the seat, leaving no boot storage. However, there is a small storage space in the apron.

Motor: The Okinawa Ridge series is run by a hub-type 1.6kW electric motor, which is powered by 1.7kWh (on Ridge Plus) and 3.2kWh lithium-ion battery (on Ridge 100), which is also detachable. The company claims 81km range for the Ridge Plus and 149km for Ridge 100 and both the variants have a 45kmph top speed. Suspension duties are handled by a telescopic front fork and dual rear shock absorbers. Braking is looked after via drum units at both ends, with E-ABS (electronic-assisted braking system) coming as standard. It comes with 10 inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped in tubeless tyres. It has a loading capacity of 150kg, with the seat height being 735mm, along with 160mm ground clearance.

Rivals: The Okinawa Ridge goes up against the likes of the Ola S1 Air, Hero Electric Optima and the Ampere Magnus EX.

Variants: Both Ridge Plus and the Ridge 100 are offered as standard variants with varying colourways. The Ridge Plus is available in 8 colours, which are Glossy Blue Black, Glossy Silver Black, Glossy Sparkle Black, Honeycomb Theme Blue, Honeycomb Theme Purple, Honeycomb Theme Red, Lucent Orange/Magna Grey and Pearl Blue. The Ridge 100 is available in three colours, which would be Ash Grey, Cloud Silver and Mid Night Blue.

The Okinawa Ridge range is the Gurugram based EV maker’s most affordable electric scooter under the high-speed series. It comes with sporty styling that’s reminiscent of the Honda Dio.
