Very poor quality and bad service.

2 weeks ago by Hitesh Sodiwala344 views

Very very low-quality scooter.
I am completely not satisfied with the scooter and service.
1 - speedometer is totally false. If it shows 50 km/h speed, actually we are on 34 km/h speed. If the meter shows 100 km distance, actually it ran only 68 kms. The company has to call back all scooters and replace the speedometer.
2 - company says 80-90 kms per charge, it shows 90 kms per charge, but as the speedometer is faulty, your scooter ran only 60 kms per charge. So beware when you go for a 70-80 kms ride.
3 - disk breaks have noise issues. After 2 weeks I found some kind of noise from disc breaks. I went to a service station and different technicians gave me different conclusions. One said, in the rainy season, there is always noise coming from disk break. Another one said, all disc brake system in the world has noise, but in petrol scooters, it cannot be heard due to engine noise. What the rubbish technicians.
4 - sock absorbers are of very low quality. Cannot resist riding with a pillion. There is a strange kind of knocking noise from the rear shock absorbers..
5 - tubeless tyres - they are very poor quality. Once I was going with my wife and suddenly tyre got flat (no puncture). Maybe it left its grip on the drum.
I do not suggest buying Okinawa in any condition. Waste of money.

I purchased the electric scooter from the distributor in whitefiled bangalore on july 2021.
It's almost one year and rode around 9500km. They have committed a mileage of 110km on a full charge.
But even before completing one year, the mileage has come down to 70 km. Currently, the vehicle has been given to the service center and there is no update even after multiple follow up. I really don't suggest going with this brand.

The price of parts like brake shoes is very high and got torn off after running only 3000km. The maintenance like repairing of other parts like mcb is uncomfortable and ordinary and also pillion footrest and shock absorber rear is also ordinary. Very poor and never recommend on such ordinary toy-like parts.

I'm from satara. Having a problem with your one-month repairing policy. Whenever my scooter has problems such as sensors, battery, or any of your issues with dealer issues. Why do I have to leave my vehicle there for the month? After the month also I'm not getting my vehicle why this is happening to me it's a 3rd time and I don't have any of the authority to see what is the process in which my request of that issue is going on. On the last 6th of April, I submitted my vehicle but there is not my vehicle is ready. How can Okinawa users can survive through this condition...? I can see the future of this vehicle only when it is a secondary vehicle. Because of this 1 month's policy, I'm not able to consider this vehicle as a primary vehicle. This is the 14th of may and still, I'm hoping to give me my vehicle... Please consider my opinion and help me out because I'm also unable to reach your customer care.

Worst after-sales service. If your bike gets malfunctioned then consider that your bike will take at least a month.. The same happened to me, they don't have spare parts which is the worst part. Contacted customer care service.. No response.. Contacted regional officer of theirs.. Just gave false hope.. Same condition. Made contact every day, every day they said the part which is malfunctioned they are not getting their spare, everyday new reason was told. It's been more than 12 days... Still the same... Without bike

1Sigmatel scooters. Cheap chinese scooter rebranded as indian. 5 months ago by Sam

This might be a bit long.
Okinawa is the china set for scooter. They should rebrand themselves as sigmatel.
This is a cheap chinese scooter rebranded as indian, the charger and internals are written in chinese. Why tell lies, if it's made in china say so, why the subterfuge. It's most likely manufactured in china and assembled in India. This is like old tech 2014-15 hero electric kind of scooter. So much for make in India and boycott china.
Weak plastic body is see-through in sunlight, poor headlight visibility is barely 10 meter in dark it's dangerous to ride this as potholes or people aren't visible. The disk brakes are bad and it's constantly rubbing eating battery and brake pads.
Lead acid battery lasts 6000kms only costs 30k to replace, lithium ion battery is also very bad, they are using old lithium cells which fail after the warranty is over.
The service center is the worst, most of the time they are closed, and they get commission for servicing the scooter by tearing out the coupons and sending them to okinawa without actually servicing any scooter. Okinawa you're cheating and also getting cheated. They are using children as mechanic that is not just unethical but also illegal as they are working with 70 volts dc which is dangerous. No warranty or repair possible because dealers only sell it and don't know how to service it. The company doesn't care for its image as it's only cares about selling more and more.
Mr okinawa is a fool if he thinks he'll get rich by doing this . Tighten up your ship sir. Here's some business advice from a loser to an idiot, how does hero exist today? huh? is it because of its amazing engineering? exquisite build quality, best in class performance? nope none of those. Hero or formerly hero Honda was and is successful because it could be fixed easily and readily even though they made crap, that crap was cheap crap and that cheap crap can be easily fixed by buying some cheap crap and replacing the crapped crap part and you're good to go on your crappy bike on the crappy road to the other crappy part of this crappy country. They didn't just sell the bikes and bolted. They made service center everywhere. Even in the craphole town I call home there are 3 hero showrooms nearby and one Honda showroom but you Mr. okinawa sold about 10-15 scooters here then shut shop and went abracadabra. I can't get my front brake pads replaced so i now await my death or someone else's death because i can't have front brakes anymore. Also no rear brake warning light because life is short so okinawa policy is to make it even shorter unlike people from okinawa who live very long lives, yes I've read your bullshit business man bites from various auto media outlets.
If Mr. okinawa wants to remain in the market it'll have to improve its manners and mindset of providing proper after sales service and spares and repair, make battery station etc or okinawa will be nothing but a sigmatel, china set owners will recognize that name.
Service center is denying warranty for rear brake light switch and saying i will have to fix it elsewhere. How indian government is allowing such malpractice against consumer and buyers is appalling.
The hub motor is weak and only capable upto 50 km/h max. But the speedo shows 70 plus hilarious. The motor bearings used are so cheap that it got bent during running and now the wheel wobbles and rubs with the disc brake pads.
Fake speedometer and odometer shows exaggerated numbers.
Charging the lead acid battery takes 7 hours minimum. The lithium also takes surprisingly long about 4-5 hrs.
Battery capacity meter is also wrong doesn't show range left or energy left. There is no bms so it can go boom during charging and running. There's no battery or motor cooling so they overheat during use.
Battery meter just shows 5 bars which shows full when standing and drinks completely when running.
Suspension is un-adjustable and extremely poor, front is too soft and sags completely on sitting one person and rear is too hard and has very low travel. The scooter weighs 170kg feels like handling a royal enfield on cycle tyres. The handle wobbles dangerously in speeds above 40kph on uneven roads.
they are asking 90k plus for this crap.
I lost more money on battery than saving on petrol.
If you want to throw away money buy this. After owning this scooter for 2 years i feel like a sigmatel china set owner.
