In Pakistan, 2-wheelers are typically seen as a cost-effective mode of transportation. However, with the rising prices of petrol, they may not remain as affordable. Following Pakistan’s latest IMF loan installment, petroleum prices are set to increase by Rs.100 per liter. In such a scenario, opting for a 2-wheeler EV could be the best choice for those looking for a vehicle with minimal running costs. Moreover, as more working women in Pakistan seek low-cost transportation options, we present a list of top locally-assembled electric bikes and scooters for both men and women.

Comparison of Affordability – Petrol Vs. EV Bikes
Typically, a 70cc bike provides a mileage of 53 Km/l, 125cc gives 45 Km/l, and 150cc offers 35 Km/l. Considering the current petrol price of Rs.280 in Pakistan, the cost per Km of:
- 70cc is Rs.5.2
- 125cc is Rs.6.2
- 150cc is Rs.8
On the other hand, an EV scooty or motorcycle typically comes with a 23-50 Ah battery and 800-1800 watts motor, offering a range of 60-90 Km. This translates to electricity consumption of about 0.5-2 units. When calculated, the cost per Km for an EV is Rs.1.5-2.5, much cheaper than a petrol-based 2-wheeler.
