As of July 2025, Pakistan has not yet introduced national laws and regulations specifically targeting electric bicycles, but the government is actively promoting the popularization of electric transportation and has formulated relevant policies to support the development of electric bicycles.

The Pakistani government has formulated the "Electric Vehicle Policy 2025-2030", aiming to promote a series of support plans in the next five years to promote the promotion of electric transportation. In the first phase of the support plan, the government will provide free electric bicycles and tricycles to some students with excellent grades and recently unemployed individuals. In addition, the government will launch a special loan program to provide low interest consumer loans for over 130000 electric bicycles and tricycles. These measures will help increase the popularity of electric bicycles, reduce the total amount of oil imports, and decrease foreign exchange consumption.
2、 Market promotion and brand cooperation
Several Chinese brands are promoting the sale of electric bicycles in major cities of Pakistan, attracting attention from consumers in the country. These Chinese brand electric bicycles have competitive advantages in technology, quality, and price, which will help promote the development of the electric bicycle market in Pakistan.

With the popularity of electric bicycles in Pakistan, the government may introduce more specific regulations to regulate the management of electric bicycles. These regulations may involve the classification, technical standards, safety requirements, traffic rules, registration, and licensing of electric bicycles. For example, the government may require electric bicycles to meet certain technical standards, such as maximum speed, motor power, vehicle weight, and other parameter limitations; At the same time, the government may require electric bicycles to be equipped with necessary safety equipment, such as braking systems, lighting devices, reflective devices, etc.
