The OKAI US trademark (Reg. No. 6,543,979) is owned by Zhejiang Okai Vehicle Co., Ltd. of Jinyun, Zhejiang, China, the maker named on its UL certificates.

  • OKAI e-bikes and e-scooters are sold in the US by Okai, Inc. of Pomona, California, through its own store at okai.co.
  • The store ships from a US warehouse to the lower 48 states.
  • Its store sells fat tire, cargo and city e-bikes alongside standing and seated scooters.
  • The Amazon US searches surfaced none of the current models as a listing sold by OKAI itself (October 2026).
  • Among major US retailers, only Dick's Sporting Goods sells OKAI e-bikes and scooters as the seller (October 2026).

The OKAI Ranger EB50 is a fat tire e-bike with a swappable 48 V, 14.7 Ah battery of 705.6 Wh (48 V x 14.7 Ah) and a Bafang rear hub motor rated 750 W nominal, 1,000 W peak and 85 Nm on the spec table (80 Nm elsewhere on the page).

It has Tektro mechanical disc brakes, an RST 80 mm suspension fork with lockout, 26 x 4 in fat tires, a cadence sensor and an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain. OKAI prints no weight; dealer sheets list about 84 lb, and the payload is rated 330 lb.

It ships at 20 mph on throttle and assist, and the OKAI app can raise pedal assist to 28 mph. The maker claims up to 45 miles on pedal assist. It comes in Blue (the in-stock colour) and Black at the same price. A spare 47 V, 14.7 Ah battery sells for $499.00, the rear rack for $49.99 and the front basket for $49.99.
