Okinawa Ridge Plus
About
The Okinawa Ridge Plus is an electric scooter designed with the urban commuter in mind. It features a 60V26 Ah lithium-ion battery that replaces the earlier lead-acid version, offering a longer range and reduced charging time of just 2-3 hours. The scooter has a top speed of 55 kmph in sport mode and 50 kmph in eco mode, making it suitable for city speeds. It comes with keyless start, anti-theft alarm, and a Find My Scooter feature, adding to its convenience. The design is largely unchanged from the standard Ridge, with the same front apron, headlamp, and indicators, but it includes new alloy wheels specific to this model. The under-seat storage is decent, housing the removable battery and leaving space for a half-face helmet and the charger. While it may not match the performance of conventional scooters, its silent operation, low maintenance, and eco-friendly nature make it an attractive option for those looking for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly commuting solution.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Okinawa Ridge Plus is a mixed bag when it comes to its overall performance and value. On the positive side, it offers a low cost of ownership, which is a significant advantage for those looking to save on fuel and maintenance costs. The scooter is equipped with a 60V26 Ah lithium-ion battery, which provides a range of 90-120 km on a single charge, making it suitable for daily commutes. However, the braking system, which relies on drum brakes, is not strong and requires extra effort to slow down, which is a notable drawback. The scooter also lacks the performance of conventional petrol-powered scooters, with a top speed of 55 kmph in sport mode, and overtaking needs to be a planned maneuver. Despite these limitations, the Ridge Plus is a viable option for those prioritizing eco-friendliness and cost efficiency, but it may not be the best choice for those seeking better performance and build quality.
Price
The Okinawa Ridge Plus is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Ridge Plus Standard variant is around 90,545. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 1,00,000 to 1,05,000, depending on the state and local taxes. While this may seem steep compared to some conventional scooters, the long-term savings on fuel and maintenance can justify the initial investment. However, the price point places it in a segment where buyers need to weigh the benefits of an electric scooter against the performance and build quality of petrol-powered alternatives.

Okinawa electric scooters, including the Ridge Plus, have received significant price cuts due to the FAME II subsidy. This move has made the Ridge Plus more affordable, with prices starting from Rs. 70,724. This reduction is a welcome move for those looking to switch to electric vehicles. I think this will boost sales and make electric scooters more accessible to a wider audience.

The Okinawa Ridge Plus features a hub-type 1.6kW electric motor powered by a 1.7kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of 84 km on a single charge. The scooter also comes with E-ABS and tubeless tyres, enhancing safety and comfort. I believe the combination of range and safety features makes it a compelling option in the electric scooter market.

Okinawa has introduced the Ridge Plus in several color options, including Mid Night Blue and Lucent Orange/Magna Grey. The scooters design, with an apron-mounted headlight and chrome highlights, gives it a premium look. I think the styling is a strong point, making it stand out in the segment.

The Okinawa Ridge Plus competes directly with other popular electric scooters like the Hero Electric Optima and the Ampere Magnus EX. With its 45 kmph top speed and 3-hour charging time, it is positioned as a practical and efficient choice for daily commuting. I believe the competition will drive innovation and better offerings in the electric scooter market.

Okinawa has emphasized the durability and performance of the Ridge Plus, highlighting its telescopic front fork and dual rear shock absorbers for improved suspension. The scooter also has a loading capacity of 150kg and a ground clearance of 160mm. I think these features make it a reliable option for various riding conditions.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 02:18 AM
The mileage of the Okinawa Ridge Plus is one of its strong points, particularly for urban commuters. With a 60V26 Ah lithium-ion battery, the scooter is claimed to offer a range of up to 120 km on a single charge, although real-world usage suggests it can deliver around 90-100 km. This range is more than sufficient for daily office commutes and other short trips. The actual mileage can vary based on traffic conditions, riding style, and the mode used (Eco or Sport), but overall, it provides a reliable and efficient commuting solution. The detachable battery is another convenient feature, allowing users to charge it at home or in the office, which enhances the overall usability of the scooter.
