Let me paint a picture. You're a 20-year-old student in Lahore, pedaling your rusty cycle through traffic, dodging buses, and arriving late to class every day. Petrol prices? Sky-high. Your part-time job barely covers books. Sound familiar?
Now imagine this: A sleek electric bike — silent, green, Rs. 50,000 cheaper thanks to government subsidy. No more fuel bills. No more sweat. Just you, cruising to uni with wind in your hair. That's the PM Electric Bike Scheme 2025-26 — Pakistan's push toward affordable, eco-friendly rides.
Launched under the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) program by the Ministry of Industries, this isn't just a handout. It's a smart move for students, youth, and daily commuters. 100,000 e-bikes in Phase 2 (Jan 2026), with 25% quota for women and 10% for Balochistan. But Phase 1 ends Sept 30, 2025. Ready to roll?
Who Gets the Green Light? Your 2025-26 Eligibility Breakdown
This scheme is for the real hustlers — students dodging traffic, delivery riders battling heat, young pros starting out. No VIPs. No shortcuts.
You're Eligible If:
- Pakistani citizen aged 18–65 (prime youth power!)
- Valid CNIC + learner's permit/driver's license
- Student? Full-time enrollment proof from HEC-approved uni
- No prior government vehicle subsidy (one per family)
- Bonus quotas: 25% women, 10% Balochistan, 5% disabled
By the way — even if you're not a student, if you're a delivery guy in Karachi or a gig worker in Islamabad, you're in. Last phase, 15% went to low-income commuters. It's not just for college kids; it's for anyone tired of petrol pumps.
Real story: Zara from Quetta, 22, rides 20km daily to her nursing college. Petrol ate half her allowance. She applied, got selected in balloting, and now her e-bike saves her Rs. 3,000/month. "I feel like a superhero," she laughs. "Silent, fast, and green!"
What's on Offer? (Rs. 50K Subsidy + Easy Rides)
Forget overpriced petrol bikes. This is eco-smart — electric, silent, and wallet-friendly.
Subsidy
Rs. 50,000 off (up to 80% for low-income)
Installments
Zero interest, 2-year plan (Rs. 2,000/month)
E-Bike Specs
