Federal E Bike Scheme 2026 — Complete Guide

The Federal E Bike Scheme is a landmark national initiative launched by the Government of Pakistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Also known as the Prime Minister Electric Bike Scheme or Wazir-e-Azam E-Bike Scheme, it aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, reduce reliance on imported fuel, combat air pollution, and provide affordable green transportation to the masses.

This scheme is a key component of Pakistan’s National Electric Vehicle Policy. In the 2026 phase, the government has set an ambitious target to distribute over 116,000 electric motorcycles and scooters across all provinces. The Federal E Bike Scheme offers a direct cash subsidy ranging from Rs. 65,000 to Rs. 80,000 per vehicle, making electric bikes significantly cheaper than petrol-powered ones.

The program is managed through the Pakistan EV initiative under the PAVE (Prime Minister’s Access to Vehicles for Everyone) portal. It is open to all Pakistani citizens and gives special consideration to government employees, students, women, and low-income families. The Federal E Bike Scheme not only helps individuals but also contributes to the country’s broader goals of environmental sustainability and energy security.

Why Choose Federal E Bike Scheme?

The Federal E Bike Scheme offers numerous benefits. Running costs of electric bikes are 70-80% lower than petrol bikes. Users can save thousands of rupees every month on fuel alone. The scheme promotes cleaner air by reducing carbon emissions. Moreover, the easy installment facility through partner banks makes it accessible even for middle and lower-middle class families. Many models also come with modern features like digital dashboards, anti-theft systems, and long battery life.
