Electric bikes in Pakistan are no longer “future technology.”
They’re here, they’re practical, and they’re saving thousands of people from petrol bills that feel like a monthly punishment.
But with so many sellers mislabeling everything as “electric bicycle,” the average buyer gets confused fast. Should you buy a small scooter-style electric bicycle? bigger EVEE-style electric scooter,? What’s the price difference? Which one suits your routine?
Relax. Let’s break everything down clearly — no drama, no jargon, no marketing fluff.
Just the facts you actually need. Using ONLY the two real types Lahore Centre actually sells, so your buying decision becomes easy and headache-free.
Why Electric Bikes Are Becoming Popular in Pakistan?
People are switching for simple reasons:
- Petrol prices hurt.
- Charging at home is cheap.
- Short city routes are perfect for EVs.
- Teens, ladies, and elders feel safer on electric scooters.
