Sales of electric motorbikes in Pakistan are witnessing unprecedented growth, with demand surging across social and economic classes despite persistent road infrastructure issues. According to local market sources, nearly 15,000 EV bikes were sold in July 2025 alone by approximately 45 two-wheeler companies, marking a new milestone in the country’s adoption of clean mobility. The momentum has been supported by both federal and provincial initiatives aimed at promoting EV usage and tackling environmental pollution, reflecting a broader shift towards sustainable transport.
Industry figures show that EV adoption has accelerated sharply over the past three years. Only 2,000 units were sold in 2022, a number that tripled to 6,000 in 2023, before jumping to 33,000 in 2024. Between January and July 2025, sales have already reached 57,800 units, and projections suggest that total sales could touch 100,000 by the end of the year. To keep up with this rising demand, companies have scaled up monthly EV production to nearly 7,000 units since January, making electric motorbikes more accessible for consumers who are increasingly shifting away from fuel-driven models.
Popular brands including Evee, Metro and Vlektra are driving competition in the market with models that come equipped with advanced features such as anti-theft alarms, safety breakers, tubeless tires, and motor and battery warranties. Depending on the category, prices currently range between Rs180,000 to Rs300,000 for standard models and Rs350,000 to Rs600,000 for higher-end variants. Despite the higher upfront cost compared to conventional motorbikes, the appeal of EVs lies in their long-term savings, with no recurring expenses on oil changes, tuning or monthly maintenance, which is resonating strongly with price-conscious consumers.
The rapid rise of EVs has drawn attention from traditional motorbike manufacturers in the gasoline market, who now face growing competition. Commenting on the sector’s trajectory, Hamza Asad, director of Sales & Marketing at Evee Co, emphasized the importance of policy continuity to ensure industry growth. He urged the government to extend the Auto Industry Development and Export Policy (AIDEP) 2021-2026 until 2030, noting that a stable and user-friendly regulatory framework is critical for supporting the young EV sector. Highlighting the scale of adoption in other countries, he pointed to China where EV bike consumption has reached 40 million annually, with 90% powered by graphene batteries and 10% by lithium.
Asad acknowledged that road conditions remain a major challenge for both gasoline and EV bikes, but stressed that the cost savings and efficiency benefits of electric two-wheelers continue to drive consumer preference. He noted that while EVs may be priced higher initially, the absence of regular maintenance requirements offsets the costs over time. With production on the rise and demand surging, Pakistan’s EV bike industry is positioning itself as a key player in the country’s transition towards cleaner and more sustainable transportation.
