In a surprising turn of events, United Autos has left motorcycle enthusiasts in disbelief by announcing an unexpected Rs 60,000 increase in the price of its popular US150 model. Launched just a few months ago as Pakistan’s most budget-friendly 150cc bike, the US150’s sudden price hike now places it at Rs. 330,000.
This decision has come at a perplexing time when the Pakistani rupee has shown significant strength against the US dollar, leaving consumers puzzled and disgruntled. The move raises questions about the factors influencing such a decision in a seemingly favorable economic climate.
Amidst this development, the traditional motorcycle market faces a wave of rising prices, creating an interesting backdrop for the surge in the electric vehicles (EVs) market in Pakistan. In a recent milestone, Chinese electric bike manufacturer Yadea has entered the market by inaugurating its first showroom in Lahore.
Adding to the excitement, Yadea unveiled its first electric scooter, the T5 model, priced at Rs. 245,000. With an impressive 105KM range on a single charge, Yadea aims to capitalize on the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation options in the country. As traditional motorcycle prices climb, the spotlight shifts to the expanding electric wave in Pakistan’s automotive landscape.
