In short
The Okinawa R30 is a basic low-speed electric scooter capped at 25 kmph, priced from ₹61,998, aimed at buyers who want the cheapest reasonable option for short trips. It claims 60 km of range, but drum brakes at both ends and a thin feature list keep it firmly in budget territory.
What works
- Low 735 mm seat height suits shorter riders
- E-ABS and a removable battery at a budget price
- Reasonable value score given the low starting price
What doesn't
- Drum brakes front and rear, no disc option
- 60 km range and 25 kmph cap for local trips only
- No Bluetooth or app connectivity listed
Best for: Tight budgets, Short, slow local trips
Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi list prices from the manufacturer. On-road for your city is in the panel above.
The R30 comes in a single variant at ₹61,998 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every R30 leaves the showroom with the same equipment.
That makes it priced 6th lowest among the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Wolf (₹121 less) and the Gen Nxt (₹1,171 less).
On the road in Delhi the base R30 comes to ₹66,464: ₹61,998 ex-showroom, ₹0 in Delhi road tax and registration (0%), ₹4,466 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Range and charging
The R30 is rated at 60 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Motor and ride
The R30's 0.25 kW motor is the 68rd most powerful among the 76 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 25 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 5 hours. The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors if you cannot park near a plug.
Chassis hardware includes single-channel ABS, with a drum, 130 mm up front and drum, 130 mm at the rear.
Seat height is a low 735 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The R30 is one of Okinawa's most affordable electric scooters, priced from ₹61,998, aimed squarely at buyers who want the lowest reasonable entry point into a low-speed EV rather than a feature-rich or long-range machine. A claimed 60 km range and 25 kmph top speed keep it strictly for short, local use.
Riding it every day
A low 735 mm seat height should suit shorter riders well, and at this price the scooter should feel manageable and light for tight city traffic. Drum brakes at both ends are the clearest sign of where costs were cut, and while E-ABS should add some stability under hard braking, it does not close the gap to a disc brake's outright stopping power, especially relevant during monsoon riding.
What to know before buying
The feature list is noticeably basic, with no Bluetooth or companion app, so buyers wanting smartphone connectivity should look at a pricier Okinawa model like the Lite or Praise instead. A 3-year battery warranty capped at 30,000 km is standard for the segment; the separate vehicle warranty term should be confirmed directly with the dealer.
Who should buy it
This suits a buyer on a tight budget who wants the simplest, cheapest reasonable electric scooter for short trips within a colony or small town, and does not need connectivity features. Anyone wanting disc brakes, a longer range or smartphone integration should budget a bit more for the Lite or a rival like the BGauss B8.

On safety kit the R30 has single-channel abs, tubeless tyres and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.
Against Reo, Lite or Wolf, it gets single-channel abs, ride modes and regenerative braking that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: front disc brake, led headlamp, led tail lamp and usb charging port, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 5 colours: Yellow, Red, White, Orange and Cyan. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 30,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.
Okinawa runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 450 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.
On sale since 2020, the R30 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
R30: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Okinawa R30?
- The R30 is priced at ₹61,998 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance.
- What is the on-road price of the R30 in Delhi?
- About ₹66,464 for the base variant in Delhi: ₹61,998 ex-showroom plus ₹0 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹4,466 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.
- What is the real range of the R30?
- The certified range is 60 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
- How much does the R30 cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.18 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹144 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the R30?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹1,970 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the R30 take to charge?
- About 5 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- Is the R30 suitable for short riders?
- Yes. Seat height is 735 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
- R30 or Reo: which is better?
- The Reo is ₹10,001 more expensive to start and more efficient at 80 km against 60 km. Pick the R30 for tight budgets, the Reo for students without a licence. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the R30?
- Among the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed, the Wolf (₹61,877), the Pony (₹55,799), the Gen Nxt (₹60,827) start lower.
- Are the R30's drum brakes a real concern given E-ABS is fitted?
- E-ABS should help prevent wheel lock-up under hard braking, but drum brakes at both ends still typically offer less outright stopping power than a disc brake, so riders should leave extra following distance, particularly in the rain.
- Does the R30 have any smartphone connectivity features?
- No, the available feature list does not include Bluetooth or an app, so riders wanting a connected dashboard should look at a higher-priced Okinawa model or a rival that includes it.
