LAHORE (Kashmir English): Punjab government has decided to launch the Electric Bike Scheme 2026, a province-wide initiative aimed at students, with particular emphasis on supporting female students.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has unveiled the scheme. For those hoping to benefit from the new e-bike scheme, here’s a breakdown of what’s the offer.
Under the plan, 100,000 electric bikes are set to be handed over to students across the province. Female students will receive their bikes at no cost, while male students will be able to buy through affordable, interest-free installment plans.
According to officials, the scheme is meant to make commuting to and from educational institutions easier, safer, and cheaper, while also promoting the adoption of eco-friendly vehicles.
