Under the prevailing circumstances when neither petrol is cheap nor diesel and CNG, a petrol-free vehicle has become necessary for the low-income group.
"Our company after hectic research of three years has decided to introduce an "Electric Motorcycle" where you won't require petrol, diesel or CNG, he said, adding that this is in fact an invention of the West and at present it is popular in China.
"But we have manufactured this electric motorcycle keeping in view the circumstances of Pakistan. It is more compatible as compared to the motorcycles manufactured in China. Its speed in faster than the motorcycles plying in China and can carry more load and is more strong keeping in view the roads in Pakistan.
The price of the electric motorcycle and scooter ranged from Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000, which is affordable by the low-income group. It is noise and smoke-free with normal maintenance cost. The travelling cost will reduce to as low as 15 paisa to 20 paisa per kilometre and no engine oil or other sort of things would be required.
He said that the battery of electric motorcycle would just require charging of four to five hours after which it can easily cover 70-80 kilometres.
"We would also provide leasing facility with easy instalments to the people for purchasing the motorcycle. "We would also provide them after-sale service and spare parts," he added.
He said that the new electric motorcycle would be launched in the market in the next few weeks.
