As Pakistan has been witnessing a notable surge in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), electric bikes (e-bikes) and scooters have also gained traction.
E-bikes' rise to popularity in Pakistan has reportedly been triggered by continuously increasing fuel prices.
The production of electric two-wheelers over the past four years across Pakistan has surged by more than 200%, Business Recorder reported, citing data from the Engineering Development Board (EDB) shared by Automark Magazine.
With 22,404 units, e-scooter manufacturing in 2024-25 marked a surprising uptick compared to 2021–22, when the figure was recorded 7,377 units.
Muhammad Sabir Sheikh, former chairman of the Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA), noted that while EV bikes are being widely adopted in Punjab, their popularity gets restricted in Karachi owing to poor road infrastructure.
Improving roads should be Sindh government's priority before introducing separate lanes for e-bikes, he urged, especially when women are increasingly getting interested in two-wheelers.
Recommending easing the registration window to one year, he also explained that vehicle registration laws are too stringent, requiring e-bikes' registration within 30 days or imposing a Rs5,000 fine.
