This year at IFA was a monumental moment for OKAI as it was the world debut of our new EB100 electric bicycle for sharing operations, ES500 for the consumer market, and also a charging cabinet compatible with both scooter and e-bike batteries.
In addition we will be unveiling our first ever electric scooter for the consumer market. The reveal is set to take place at this year's IFA trade show from September 3rd - September 5th in Berlin, Germany.
Here’s is going on this month: The Berlin team was just enriched by a new team member in the sales department. The ES500, Okai’s first consumer product, is launching by the end of August. There’s still time to get a discount on your first order, if you haven’t yet.
Now more than ever, like-minded people in mobility need to come together to find new solutions to get people moving. To jumpstart the conversation, we invite you to the OKAI Motion Show 2020 in Berlin on July 16.
Please join us on July 16th, 2020 for networking, discussion, food and drinks. We will even have a test ride area for participants to test out new vehicles and a grand prize for the best rider!
While Covid-19 has halted many businesses around the world, we at Okai have been super busy recently. After a period of “quiet before the storm,” we are now in full-swing production. Some updates:
Lawrence Leuschner, CEO and Co-founder of TIER Mobility: “Swappable batteries are a real ecological game-changer for the entire e-scooter industry. As the leading European player we are proud to be the first ones to operate with this model. This is a huge step forward in our mission to change mobility for good and becoming fully carbon neutral as a company in the next 12 months.”
At Okai we have faced the pandemic since early January at our offices and factory in China and since February for our European headquarters. For a factory like Okai’s and thousands of others operating out of Zhejiang, a complete shutdown of all “non-essential companies, including manufacturing plants” meant that business as usual had come to a screeching halt.
020 was Okai’s first year exhibiting and for most of the team, their first time in Las Vegas. With close to 200,000 tech enthusiasts flocking to the city of sin all at once, the already high energy and congestion of Las Vegas, is heightened to an entirely new level.
