Speaking on the later initiative, Jeetender Sharma, Founder & MD, Okinawa Autotech said, "The future of mobility is electric. A slew of incentives by the Government has accelerated the electric mobility transition in India. The Union budget and the GST rate cut of 7% which we have passed on to our customers has already made the scooters more affordable and through our current campaign we want to attract customers waiting to join the Okinawa electric scooters family. We are now witnessing an increased demand for our e-scooters and we will be offering more choices to our customers at attractive prices. With festivals like Independence Day, Raksha Bandhan, Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali around the corner, we would like to encourage the entire two-wheeler community to buy electric vehicles."
The Okinawa scooters also come with Roadside Assistance as part of the package
The new offers come just days after Okinawa announced a price reduction across all its models.
