Electric scooters in Pakistan come with definite advantages, they have sleek designs and other features to provide a trouble-free riding experience on and off the road.
If you haven’t ridden an electric scooter yet, you should! They can be super fun. Different companies manufacture electric vehicle (EV) scooters, and it is crucial to have a general idea before making the buying decision.
In this article, we will discuss the top five reasons to buy EV scooters and what you should be looking for in 2025.
1. Best alternative for mode of transportation
Electric scooters are cheap to buy, except for some high-end scooters that are super fast and nice looking, but they will still be cheaper than second-hand cars in Pakistan. They are the best when it comes to choosing an alternative mode of transportation within cities, especially for young girls and women.
Moreover, improvements in efficiency, range, and battery charging have introduced the rise of these scooters in Pakistan, and these features have made the electric scooter more appealing to a broader audience.
However, the battery cost is cheaper than the fuel, which is promoting the trends of these electric scooters in Pakistan.
2. Environment friendly
Electric scooters use a small amount of electricity and don’t emit emissions, which is better for air quality in our cities. More scooters on roads means less carbon entering the and a step towards carbon neutrality—better for our planet and its people.
While some emissions are related to the production and electricity used to charge the scooter, they are a small fraction in comparison to other motorised vehicles.
Another great reason to invest in an electric scooter is the reduction in noise pollution compared to other motor-powered modes of transport.
3. Government tax incentives
The government of Pakistan also supports their usage among consumers, who demand lower taxes for these scooters. In 2024, the government increased the General Sales Tax (GST) by 17 per cent; previously, it was 1 per cent.
The demand for batteries in the global market will increase in the next few years. Battery shipment was 94% higher in the year 2021, and graphene batteries will become the future.
These two-wheeler electric scooters are gaining special attention in terms of taxes and incentives.
If EVs are made in Pakistan, they will be sold at 1% sales tax, making them cheaper among buyers. However, this is being done to encourage people to buy electric bikes in Pakistan.
4. Rising fuel prices
The rising fuel prices have given rise to the demand for electric bikes. The fluctuation of fuel prices has produced challenges for motorcycle owners; it has made it difficult for them to operate and manage the expenses of these fuel bikes.
Additionally, electric vehicles are a cheaper source of transportation, and these scooters operate on batteries that can be charged from renewable resources. This helps electric scooter owners operate their vehicles easily and efficiently.
Moreover, it saves EV scooter owners from maintenance costs like engine oil changes, exhaust system repairs, and transmission repairs overall.
5. Low operating costs
Electric scooters are quite cheap to operate, run and maintain compared to other vehicles. Furthermore, using an electric scooter for short distances may be cheaper than taking public transport in some cases.
Their running cost is lower than that of petrol bikes and is usually cheaper than that of motorcycles that run on fuel. No fuel costs saves up to Rs 10,000 monthly, with zero maintenance cost.
