Upcoming Honda Electric Bike in Pakistan – Everything You Need to Know

Honda’s Big Step into Electric Bikes

In late 2023, Atlas Honda surprised everyone in Pakistan by introducing its first electric scooter, the BENLY e. At that time, the company didn’t give any official launch date. However, new updates suggest that Honda is planning to launch its first electric bike in Pakistan by June 2025.

People are excited about this news, but it’s still unclear whether the new model will be the BENLY e or a completely new electric bike. No matter which model it is, this move shows Honda’s strong commitment to staying the number one motorcycle brand in Pakistan. Right now, Honda controls 85% of Pakistan's motorcycle market and exports its bikes to other countries.

Challenges for Electric Bikes in Pakistan

Although electric bikes are becoming popular worldwide, Pakistan’s e-bike market is still in the early stages. There are several challenges that need to be solved before electric motorcycles can become common:

✔️ Expensive Prices – Electric bikes currently cost more than regular petrol bikes.
✔️ Limited Charging Stations – There are very few charging points available in cities.
✔️ People Are Unsure – Many riders don’t trust electric bikes yet and prefer petrol ones.

The government has tried to promote electric vehicles (EVs) by reducing taxes on them, but even with these efforts, electric motorcycles made up less than 1% of total bike sales in 2024.

Despite these difficulties, many experts believe that Honda’s entry into the electric bike market could change everything. Since Honda already has a strong market presence and a massive production system, it can make electric bikes more common in Pakistan.

Why Honda Has a Big Advantage

One reason why Honda’s electric bike launch could be successful is because of its strong local production system. Honda produces around 1.3 million motorcycles every year in Pakistan. Also, 95% of its parts are made locally, which means Honda can keep costs lower than other companies that import electric bikes.

Since Honda already has a well-established supply chain and a dedicated Research & Development (R&D) team, it can design an electric bike that suits Pakistani roads and traffic conditions.

The Global Electric Bike Trend

Electric bikes are becoming very popular in India and China, where government policies and affordability have helped them grow.

Battery technology is improving, which means faster charging and better performance. However, many companies in Pakistan still rely on imported electric bikes, which may struggle to compete with locally made models. If Honda’s new electric motorcycle includes the latest battery and charging technology, it could quickly become the top choice for Pakistani riders.

Conclusion

The launch of Honda’s first electric bike in Pakistan is a major step towards a cleaner and more advanced future. Although the electric bike industry in Pakistan is still developing, Honda’s strong market position, local manufacturing, and large-scale production give it an advantage over other competitors.

If Honda can offer an affordable price, a reliable battery, and good performance, its electric bike could change the Pakistani motorcycle industry forever. Many people are waiting for more details, and if the launch happens in June 2025, it could mark the beginning of a new era for electric bikes in Pakistan.
