PowerDrift let me have the akula,my video aint uploading due to slow network

[@animeshdhole300]

Electrics are the Future and i think the Okinawa will be most premium and best performing among electric scooters in India #PDArmy #powerdrift

[@jayakumar.p.s]

Why does it need dual discs at the front, when it has regenerative braking. Any clue?

[@bullseye6969]

PowerDrift the time when things just got exciting in e-bike genre. Meanwhile in other dimension Tork is still sleeping. Can you please do real on road test with expected on road mileage/charge.

[@kunalkubal705]

Awaiting for hands on review... Special challenge- Can it be drive in rainy environment....with a minimum water logged by 1/2 a feet... that test will make it pass & ready for Mumbai rains

[@jhenukumar]

+Power Drift Main Problems with Electric Bikes 1. Range Anxiety (Make Real Life Test How Long you can go with Single Charge) 2. Reduced performance when battery charge goes down below 50% since they use DC motors (When is 50% Charged check the Load Carrying capacity) 3. Explain us What Motor they are using, How regeneration works in this bike 4.Is the regenerated energy fed back to battery 5. Torque Torque -->> Acceleration 0-60 , 0-100 Number pls....

[@sanjeevn4144]

Even if it gives just 100-120 kms per charge on the sport mode, I'm all in.

[@nimushankar]

Once you get your hands on the scooter, test the range on turbo mode with the headlights on. That'd be the most important test you could do.

[@ooboytrends]

1. Do speed test at low battery. Like how it performs below 10% battery. 2. Does it have feature which saves the battery from overcharging it? 3. Can you compare with pertrol competitors like Honda Activa, Hero Maestro? 4. What is the lithium ion battery cost? 5. Whats the battery replacement cost? 6. Do we have to go for sevices for this vehicle? 7. Does such vehicle have any resale or after sales value? 8. Is Okinawa planning to give exchange discounts? 9. How does this vehicle perform on inclined and decline surface? 10. Finally does PD ARMY recommends this amzing vehicle to its cadets? Thanks Have a good day.

[@vroombk]

OoBoy Trends Phew! That is an exhaustive list. Thanks a ton :)

[@sulainmandavud7446]

We. Can save 100 per day..3 yer you can save.. Around 1lak 😀😁

[@DukerBoyYoutube]

Water wading should be one of the tests .... One of the concerns in everyone's minds about electric scooters

[@sairammiriyala]

Well a drag race with a petrol scooter would be exciting to see as a challenge..!!

[@ravikiranshet7913]

try the turbo mode with max weight and luggage also ur phone in charging, lets know the range

[@thejassathya310]

Tests to be done Charging time test Range Test(with 2 adults+luggage) Acceleration test(With adults) Battery life test (after how many cycles battery will loose its full storing capacity/potential) Charge stand by time test( charging to full capacity, leaving it untouched for few days, then checking the percentage of charge) Unit(kwh) per full charge Above things + powerdrift usual On road price (mentioning incentives from govt. If any) Thanks

[@PowerTrain]

I love this list thingy format!

[@udayt_7]

"I am Varun Painter, Trr Trr goes my scooter, and I will see you later" Hilarious pickup line..😂😂

[@karthikgnskasi6196]

I wish this segment grows until we get a scooter capable of doing 100kph+ speeds.... 😊... The only thing dragging me from buying these kind of scooters is the topspeed of 25kph but now it's shattered to 75kph...i see this segment growing.... 😊 hope it continues....

[@powerdriftofficial]

Amen. It's still pretty much in the nascent stage. It's only up from here!

[@saurabhchandra6267]

What's its acceleration? 0-60 time?

[@1985rajamech]

While doing full review of the vehicle ,consider to drive in bridges and need to check if water splashed from beneath need to see any electrical circuit get affected or not

[@Dont_care_a_bit]

Do a 'full charge to empty in a single ride' challenge.

[@sanchitjangle4153]

varun .... bhai this bike is going to change trend of electric bike .... please esa video banana .. ke log majbur ho jaye kharid ne ko .... n lot of responsibility on you ... to make ppl aware of eco friendly bike ... helps to reduce polution ... talking abt review video ... sab ko specification ke bare me pata chal hi jayega ... more focus wud be one ... battery testing, heating engine, water resistance, n covering max range while driving this scooter ...thanks bhai

[@shashankd91]

@powerdrift more detailed reviews please... I'm thinking of buying one for daily commute... #GoElectric

[@0006vishal]

In your review charge it up and ride till the battery last ...we will get the mileage figures with your stuns figure

[@ashiskumarparida2636]

Is it okay to buy , to use at hilly area? Climbing angle 22degree only

[@JayGhiyaGoogle]

Hey nice intro video! As part of your tests will request you to ride this thing between 45 to 65 and test the actual range that it gives on full charge! Can you also give estimate amount of bhp that it has?

[@sahadsadiq6843]

*In terms of technology, it seems to beat even the APRILIA SR 150 & the HONDA GRAZIA easily.... offers HIGH END FEATURES💕👌🏻*

[@samirkittur]

Do a range test and then check the fast charge claims.

[@abijitroy6335]

Okinawa's new model looks impressive than the previous one... Looks are astonishingly impressive with DRLs n Digital specs.. and also the Disc brakes... Quite impressive. And if the Company's claim of mileage 170-200km/charge is true, then it will be a good competition for other electric vehicles... Would like to see a Test Ride soon.. Have great hours ahead...😋

[@manojdevada9437]

what could be the battery life and how long it can survive...???? do u hv to replace it...????

[@mukeshnagpal4156]

@ 3:12 it is mentioned, ".....at 10 paise per km.." Why do we tend to forget adding the BATTERY REPLACEMENT COST after say about 15000 kms ? it easily adds to more than a rupee per km.

[@SripalTAD]

It's vrla lead acid only 2 yrs

[@SripalTAD]

manoj devada i supply lithium batteries for old ebike and Electric scooters

[@jamshedelavia542]

dose if go smoothly on up hill i comute daily abt 10 kms up hill double seat do u think u can make an video on this subject

[@shrikantsharma2753]

How good is it for the hilly terrain? Can it carry two people then? Please review any good electric vehicle for hilly terrain.

[@shashankdwivedi451]

Can it run in water till its foot rest

[@sahadsadiq6843]

Shashank Dwivedi yea bro, you can even ride it underwater... 😂😂😂

[@shashankdwivedi451]

THA INDIAN LAD you mean a fully electric open two wheeler submarine

[@sahadsadiq6843]

Shashank Dwivedi yea😂😂

[@vroombk]

The batteries are 100% water resistant. That is an interesting mention and I would love to put that claim to test.

[@jaiync]

No Dealers in kerala ?.. how is it compared to looks with Honda Gracia ?

[@sandeepmahendrakar8292]

Assuming you are in Pune ... Take it on a single charge trip from Pune to Mahabaleshwar mountains, that will prove its RANGE and POWER as it climbs up the hill station... I am sure it will be a great fun route for making videos too in the scenic mountains and woods.

[@bambangsuseno7479]

Rs. 59,889 = only USD 850?? CMIIW. India is the champion for creating cheap EV. Badass model.

[@adv_abhi]

How many charging cycles battery can work for? & It's replacement price?

[@oblinarasimharajan]

How well will the praise survive water logging ??, the battery seems to be exposed by the looks of it.

[@vin21711487]

Nice review bro. Waiting for the ride review by you. Probably praise gonna be my first scooter. For now will wait for your review on Praise !

[@AllenJoshyJohn]

Hi Varun, please do let us know whether it can take a pillion and do some hill climbing , to see whether it can handle our daily commute in hilly areas. Thanks bro.

[@HariKrishna-dd8wc]

When it is available in market?

[@sudhanshudeshpande6511]

Key question from a guy like me who stays on 7th floor. . . How do I charge this scooter? Especially since it is not possible to run a power line down to the parking spaces...

[@electrob7864]

One option if the battery is light weight and easy to remove. Then you can charge at your home. Another option need to install the charging point in your parking place either at home or office.

[@puneethsundar7047]

Hey PD.... I would really love to see a real world testing of this machine and run it till its juice is out. And kudos again for having a variety of coverage!

[@kiranmgks]

It's a game changer in electric segment! Premium features with affordable price!

[@rakesh7369]

Compare praise with Activa for riding dynamics and egornomics

[@sarangparab]

How to book this scooter. I don't find any links..

[@karangoraksh6859]

How will you charge your scooter if you live on 4th floor.

[@_pr0mZ]

Karan Goraksh you buy a new house on ground floor... :-D

[@sunilchennupati7788]

[@debasishsoren5347]

Karan Goraksh extension cord

[@ashitoshtilve5677]

Do a video on how much it can go in a full charge in normal usage

[@zameerhussain6]

Kindly let us know how this will hold up against the likes of activa and access. Is it a right decision to buy an electric scooter instead of petrol. Also how is the service network of this company. Thanks in advance. Also always very good video.

[@prathaps848]

Pls do acceleration and midrange tests. Also, power/weight pls...no one mentions it. Ofcourse range and battery guage accuracy...1 bar = how many kms ? in each mode?

[@kabirsahane]

What about li-ion battery setup? Did they showcased it? And how much more it will cost? Will Suspensions setup be more comfortable than rival IC engine mopeds?

[@MANIYAAA17]

Mumbai has no dealership Please suggest how I can buy this in Mumbai and also avail after sale service.

[@mohamedajmal8391]

Does it require any driving license or rto registration

[@justforwards2701]

No dealerships in Bangalore???

[@sajeevanand]

when is the full review coming to the channel ??? Eagerly waiting !! Thanks

[@vishalbagga9737]

If you get the scooter for review will you please check the departure angle because i live in Himachal Pradesh, its all about mountains.

[@SuvishThoovamalayil]

I'd like to know more about the lithium-ion variant: how much more does it cost, will it be removable (so that you could pull it out and charge at home), expected number of charge cycles, etc. Also, more info on the regular VRLA batteries will also be good: lifetime of the battery, warranty, etc.

[@dineshanjuri108]

Awaiting detailed review and ride ergonomics

[@anupamdas7615]

how does it pull in sharp hill climbing roads

[@vishnusreekantan]

Please have a real life test on the range. If it is anywhere near 170 they have a winner. Also hope you will be able to do a charging test as well.

[@haricharan390]

Bro your Team is “The Best” in reviews . I want to know that the fast charging is for acid batteries or Lithium iron batteries

[@shreyas1409]

Hi. Can you do a test drive asap. I am waiting impatiently to know about it.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Stay tuned Shreyas. Our minions have gone out to steal, err, borrow this one out.

[@shermanfernandes3531]

Performance with Pillion! Speed, Max Distance, and Regenerative braking! as heavier bike would have more momentum!

[@ankitmahati07]

Try to take down mountains m really curious how does this perform in hills..

[@deepakaswani5648]

[@i3gpvtltd651]

[@adityasoneji1428]

Any requirements for this ? I mean do we need license/PUC/n stuff ??

[@powerdriftofficial]

While no PUC would be required, it would require registration, insurance, tax, and a valid licence.

[@karandex]

I like this segment. Now we need a Superbike /or super scooter. Just give us acceleration, anyway you can't get up to 80 in cities anyways

[@skg901]

Praise vs grazia vs access over a normal days runabout..?

[@senthamizh.k4292]

[@sanchitrastogi55]

How long will the lead acid battery last before replacing it with a new one?

[@digitronics6321]

[@salman17121991]

I would love to see a fun comparison with its petrol competitors in the same price range fascino and activa

[@HimanshuSingh-fj5rg]

I really want to get one of these... But my concern is range and charging time. Company always claims Rosy figure!!! PLs guys do check the range ... I travel 50km daily

[@powerdriftofficial]

We shall surely check that out!

[@harshitoz]

then this scooter is best for you it will go about 120 km in sport mode and about 160 km in economy mode

[@devkachhawa]

On Road price in India Rs.71000 approx even after subsidy. Battery cost Rs.22000. Only 1 Year warranty for batteries. If need to replace after one year, its not a good deal.
