Metro Electric Bikes & Scooters

Metro is a Pakistani electric-bike brand run by Pak Star Automobile (Pvt.) Ltd, the same company that has sold conventional Metro motorcycles for roughly two decades and began building EVs in 2023. As of 26 July 2026, Metro's live catalog runs from Rs 184,000 for the T9 Sport up to Rs 265,000-279,000 for the T9 Pro, across five current SKUs.

Metro is not a new arrival dabbling in EVs. It is an established two-wheeler manufacturer with a 3-wheeler auto business behind it, a Lahore head office, and a Sheikhupura factory — which is a different pitch than most of the Chinese-import badges that fill this segment. Whether that manufacturing history translates into consistent quality control is a separate question, and the spec sheets below suggest the answer is currently: not always.

Who actually makes Metro e-bikes

Metro E-Vehicles' own About page (metroev.pk/about-us/, fetched 26 July 2026) describes the company as the EV division of Pak Star Automobile (Pvt.) Ltd, incorporated 2007, which it calls "the second largest manufacturer of 3-wheeler auto vehicles" in Pakistan. The page says Pak Star has run the conventional-motorcycle Metro brand "for the last two decades," and that EV manufacturing began in 2023 "through technical collaborations with the world's top leading EVs manufacturers" — a collaboration Metro does not name. Head office is in Johar Town, Lahore; the factory sits opposite Nokarian Village on Rachna Industrial Park Road, near Khanpur Canal, Sheikhupura.

One disambiguation worth flagging plainly. A separate, unrelated "Metro" brand of electric fans, and later motorcycles, is run by Yunas Group of Industries, founded 1973. Third-party company-registry sites (the kind that aggregate business listings) surface both companies under the plain name "Metro," which can send a buyer researching "Metro electric bike Pakistan" down the wrong corporate rabbit hole. If you are trying to verify who actually stands behind your bike's warranty, start from metroev.pk, not a generic business-registry hit.

Current lineup and prices (26 July 2026)

We built full pages for the three SKUs with the deepest data: M6 Empower, T9 Sport and T9 Pro. The two Lithium sub-variants are priced on Metro's own catalog but do not yet have independent third-party price confirmation or full spec verification, so we name them here for context rather than building separate pages this batch.

PriceOye's Metro category page shows every model — including these three — as "COMING SOON" with an "Expected Price" tag dated 31 October 2025. We treat that as a stale, pre-launch snapshot rather than a live competing price, since Metro's own catalog and PakWheels both show these models actively for sale with matching current prices.

What Metro's own numbers don't agree on

This is the least confidence-inspiring part of researching Metro, and buyers deserve to know it going in. The manufacturer's own product page for the M6 Empower and PakWheels' spec sheet for the same nameplate disagree on nearly every headline number: motor power (1,490-2,500W vs 1,200W), battery capacity (72V x 38Ah vs 72V x 26Ah), claimed range (125 km vs 95 km), top speed (50-55 vs 45-50 km/h), and even brake configuration (disc/disc vs disc/drum). Neither side is obviously wrong, and we found no independent test to break the tie — so the M6 Empower page below prints both figures side by side rather than picking a winner.

The T9 Pro's price has the same problem in miniature: Metro's own site says Rs 265,000, PakWheels says Rs 279,000, a roughly 5.3% gap that is inside the range of normal Pakistani retailer variance but that neither source resolves. We publish it as a range on the T9 Pro page rather than inventing a single confirmed number.

Battery reality: not lead-acid, not straightforwardly lithium either

Metro's core M6 and T9 packs are not simple flooded lead-acid — the failure mode that kills most budget Pakistani e-bikes within 2-3 years. Instead Metro brands its standard packs "TTFAR Graphene" or "Nano Carbon Fiber (NCF)", described by the company as non-flammable. Separate, pricier Lithium (LFP, per Metro's own FAQ wording "Lithium-iron") variants are sold as an upsell on the M6 Empower and T9 Sport lines.

We could not find or fetch any independent lab characterization of what "TTFAR Graphene" actually is chemically, and no Metro-specific battery-death or replacement-cost report surfaced this session. What is independently confirmed is that the problem is real for the sector: Dawn.com reported on 14 July 2026 that an National Assembly Standing Committee hearing was told, per sub-committee convener Dr Mehreen Bhutto, that "some manufacturers use low-quality batteries that become unusable within two to three years, with replacement batteries costing as much as Rs 90,000," and that no PSQCA-certified lithium-battery testing lab or formal consumer complaint forum exists anywhere in the industry. A PakWheels forum reply, not attributed to Metro specifically, adds: "Most of these batteries i see have 1k-2k cycles... Warranty on most is 2y or 20k km. But do they actually replace battery under warranty that unknown." Read that as market color about e-bikes generally, not a verdict on Metro's own packs.

Warranty: a rule that Metro's own pages don't follow

Metro's FAQ page (metroev.pk/faqs/, fetched 26 July 2026) states a clean rule: 36-month warranty for Lithium-iron battery packs, 24-month warranty for Nano Carbon Fiber-Graphene packs, with damage from overcharging, fire, or improper fast-charging explicitly excluded, and the remedy described as direct part replacement rather than repair-and-return.

In practice, Metro's own product pages don't apply it consistently. The M6 Empower and T9 Sport pages both state 24 months — matching the rule for their NCF/Graphene packs. But the T9 Pro page states 18 months, and a separate PakWheels spec sheet for the plain (non-Sport/Pro) T9 also shows 18 months, where the FAQ rule would predict 24. We found no explanation for the discrepancy and no independent, owner-reported case of an actual warranty claim being honored or denied on any current Metro model. One unresolved PakWheels forum exchange has a poster asking whether e-bike makers "actually replace battery under warranty" and noting "I have heard stories that some EV bikes companies don't"; a separate, uncorroborated reply in the same thread says "Metro is really good with aftersales / warranty support." Treat that as one anecdote, not a track record.

Installment financing

Metro's own bank-installment page (metroev.pk/bank-installment-plans/, fetched 26 July 2026) lists two partner banks. Bank Alfalah: 6-36 month tenures, 0-20% down payment, 0% markup on 3- and 6-month terms, an unstated markup rate applying to 9-36 month terms, a processing fee plus Federal Excise Duty of 3.0% (3 months), 8.0% (6 months) or 2.5% (9-36 months), and approval promised within 7 working days. Eligibility needs a valid CNIC, a 6-month bank statement plus employer letter for salaried applicants, or 2 years of business proof plus a 12-month bank statement for the self-employed. MCB Bank: advertised at "0% over invoice value" with the specific tenure not stated on the page, same fee schedule and eligibility criteria. Metro names the METRO MIKU SUPER, M6 EMPOWER and T9 PRO specifically as models confirmed available through MCB financing — installment buyers of other models should confirm eligibility before assuming it applies.

Service network

Metro's own store-locator page (metroev.pk/store-locator/, fetched 26 July 2026) lists dealership and service coverage in Lahore (head office), Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Sialkot, Peshawar and Sargodha, plus the Sheikhupura factory. That is a reasonable published spread for a mid-tier Pakistani e-bike brand, though — as with the warranty terms above — we found no independent, owner-reported data on actual claim turnaround times at any of these locations.

Recent news

9 July 2026 — Metro launched a Step-Thru pedal-assist e-bicycle at Rs 169,000, distinct from the M6/T9 e-bike lines covered on this hub. Reader comments on the launch coverage called the price high for what is functionally a bicycle with pedal assist rather than a full e-bike (propakistani.pk, 9 July 2026).

Where to go next
