Unlock 1.0: Okinawa Sells More Than 1,000 Units Post Lockdown

Okinawa, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, reported that it has sold over 1,000 units of electric scooters in a month since the lockdown relaxation, where the government started allowing businesses to operate. Okinawa says that it has more than 350 dealers across India and approximately 60-70 per cent of these touchpoints were operational. The company resumed operations partially on May 11, 2020 with 25 per cent workforce. The company despatched over 1,200 vehicles during the same time. The company is taking all precautions at its dealerships and following all safety and social distancing protocols. Okinawa takes care to sanitise all EVs before it despatches them from the assembly line. The dealerships too sanitise the two-wheelers upon receiving them and once again, when it is sent to customers.

"We have witnessed a good demand in the market for Electric scooters. We have retailed over 1000 electric scooters despite limited dealerships operational during the current COVID 19 outbreak. This has indeed encouraged us, as we understand that the market is gaining its strength back. We also anticipate that, due to COVID-19 outbreak, a lot of people would want to avoid using public transport, which might increase the demand of new vehicles for personal mobility. With the increasing awareness around the economic viability of electric vehicles, we might witness a sharp inclination towards EVs among the buyers," said Jeetender Sharma - MD, Okinawa.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
