Lahore to Launch Pakistan's First App-Based E-Bike Rental Service

Lahore is poised to introduce Pakistan's first app-based electric motorbike rental service, a move designed to tackle both the city's persistent last-mile transportation challenges and its worsening air quality crisis. The initiative is part of the Punjab government's broader Green Mobility Programme.

Under the plan, an initial 10,000 e-bikes and 300 docking and charging stations will be deployed throughout Lahore. Residents will be able to easily hire an e-bike using a dedicated mobile application, offering a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transport.

The initiative is being developed under the government’s Green Mobility Programme and will require its final approval before formal launch.

Noorul Amin Mengal, Secretary of the Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department, stated that the initiative requires final government approval before its formal launch. He emphasized that the project aligns with Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's vision for modern schemes aimed at reducing smog and pollution, framing it as an environmental commitment rather than solely a transport initiative.
