Key Features We Know So Far
Even before the launch, a few important points about the Air EV electric bike are already clear:
- Replaceable lithium-ion batteries: riders can swap or replace the battery instead of waiting for long charging sessions, which is useful for delivery riders and daily commuters.
- Imported first, local later: the first units will come from international partners who offer competitive prices.
- Local assembly plan: Airlink wants to shift step by step toward assembling and then manufacturing the bikes inside Pakistan.
- Local battery sourcing: the company will start buying lithium-ion batteries from local suppliers as part of its localization strategy.
A lithium-ion battery e-bike is lighter and usually lasts longer than older lead-acid models. If you want to understand running costs, read our guide on e-bike charging cost in Pakistan to see how much you can save compared to petrol.
Why Airlink Is Moving Into E-Bikes
Airlink has built a large network of distributors and retail partners through its mobile phone business. Moving into electric two-wheelers lets the company use that same network to reach buyers in big cities and small towns. It is also a sign that local companies now see real demand for electric bikes in Pakistan, helped by the government’s push for cleaner transport under the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) policy.
The 95% localization target is the most interesting part. If Airlink manages to make most parts locally, the bikes could become cheaper over time, spare parts would be easier to find, and more jobs could be created in the local industry.
What It Means for Buyers and Scheme Applicants
For ordinary buyers, more brands mean more choice and better prices. Students and young workers who are waiting for government support should also keep an eye on this launch, because new brands are often added to approved vendor lists later on.

Our Take on the Airlink Air EV Launch
The Airlink Air EV launch date gives buyers a clear target. A well-known Pakistani company, swappable batteries and a strong local manufacturing goal is a good mix. The real test will be the price, the real-world range and after-sales service. If Airlink gets these right, the Airlink electric bike could become one of the most popular new options for city riders in 2027.
