| Warranty | 18 months/20,000km on the battery (graphene/lead-acid tier) and 24 months/20,000km on the motor, per Yadea Pakistan's general service-support page. The T5 is named specifically as eligible on Yadea's Bank Alfalah SBS installment plan, but is not named as eligible for the 48-month/50,000km extended LFP-lithium battery warranty, which applies only to the newer T5L variant and other LiFePO4 models (M3H, Velax) — do not confuse plain T5 with T5L, a distinct, pricier lithium SKU. |
The Yadea T5 is a step above the Ruibin in Yadea's Pakistani value lineup, priced at Rs 253,500 as of 26 July 2026, confirmed on three independent sources. It's also the one model on this hub with a genuine, dated, named-source owner review rather than a specs-only page — and the one where confusing it with a similarly-named sibling (T5L) could cost a buyer real money.
The TTFAR regenerative front brake is the T5's headline feature, and it holds up reasonably well under independent scrutiny — a rarer thing in this catalog than it should be.

PakWheels itself calls the TTFAR regenerative braking system "first in Pakistan's two-wheeler sector" — a marketing-adjacent claim from a third-party listing site rather than an independently audited industry fact, so we're flagging the framing rather than repeating it as settled.
Honest assessment
What's solid. The Rs 253,500 price, confirmed three ways. The regenerative braking feature is real and independently praised by a named reviewer, not just manufacturer copy. A genuine test-ride account exists for this model — something most pages on this hub cannot say.
What should give a buyer pause. The PakWheels first-drive review is dated 23 January 2024 — over two years before this page's 26 July 2026 price verification. It may describe an earlier model-year T5 rather than the exact unit sold today, so treat its specific numbers (55 km/h, ~105 km range) as directional, not a current-model guarantee. The reviewer also flagged the rear drum brake as "only average" and suspension as "mediocre on rough terrain" — real, sourced criticism, not just marketing.
Owner feedback. PakWheels' first-drive reviewer (published 23 January 2024) praised the TTFAR regenerative braking for "helping increase mileage in stop-and-go traffic" and liked the front disc brake's feel on bumpy roads, but called the rear drum brake only average and flagged mediocre suspension performance on rough terrain. This is a genuine, dated, named-source review, not invented sentiment — but it is one reviewer's account of one test unit, not a broad owner survey.
Who should buy it. A buyer who wants Yadea's regenerative-braking feature and the larger 72V pack, is comfortable that the review evidence is now over two years old, and does not need the confirmed lithium chemistry of the pricier T5L variant.
Pakistan reality check
Battery life. The plain T5's graphene pack is lead-carbon/lead-acid family, not lithium, and sits inside the general Pakistani e-bike battery-degradation risk zone — cheap packs failing within 2-3 years, replacement costs up to Rs 90,000, no PSQCA-certified testing lab industry-wide (shared/docs/01-market-intelligence.md, July 2026 baseline). The genuinely lithium T5L variant is a separate, pricier SKU — don't assume the base T5 shares its chemistry.
Heat and dust. No T5-specific ingress-protection rating is published. The 2024 PakWheels review's suspension criticism is a separate mechanical concern from battery/electronics heat tolerance, but both point toward treating rough Pakistani road surfaces as a real factor in this model's real-world comfort.
Service network. Full details on the Yadea brand hub — Lahore (flagship), Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sialkot and Peshawar.
Financing. Bank Alfalah's Step-By-Step plan quotes Rs 11,804/month over 36 months at 0% markup; Bank of Punjab's Bloom arm covers the T5 under its own 3-to-48-month plan too. The plain T5 is not eligible for the federal PAVE subsidy, reserved for the lithium T5L, M3H and Velax. Full terms on the Yadea brand hub.
Warranty claim reality. 18 months/20,000km on the battery, 24 months/20,000km on the motor, per Yadea's general policy page. No independent, owner-reported warranty-claim outcome was found for this specific model beyond the 2024 review's mechanical impressions.
Price context
Model | Price (verified 26 Jul 2026) | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
Yadea T5 | Rs 253,500 | Regenerative braking, largest battery in Yadea's value tier, one genuine test-ride review |
Metro M6 Empower | Rs 250,000 (per SolarNevs' Metro page, checked 26 Jul 2026) | Domestic rival at a near-identical price, with its own disputed spec sheet |
Evee S1 Air Lithium | Rs 319,900 (docs/04 baseline, not independently re-verified this batch) | Pricier rival with a confirmed lithium pack rather than graphene |
United Revolt | Rs 260,000 (docs/04 baseline, not independently re-verified this batch) | Domestic rival roughly Rs 6,500 above the T5 |
The Metro figure is pulled from SolarNevs' own already-verified page; Evee and United Revolt have not been independently re-verified in this batch — treat them as starting points to confirm yourself. Against a genuinely lithium rival like the Evee S1 Air, the T5's core trade-off is clear: lower price today, but the same graphene/lead-acid degradation exposure as every other model on this hub.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Yadea T5 cost in Pakistan?
Rs 253,500, confirmed by three independent sources checked 26 July 2026: PakWheels, Gari.pk, and Yadea's own Bank Alfalah SBS installment announcement all state exactly Rs 253,500. Yadea's own Nov-2025 price list shows a lower Rs 248,500 — the pre-increase price, consistent with the same lineup-wide 3-5% bump seen across the rest of this hub.
Is 'T5' the same bike as 'T5L'?
No — distinct SKUs, and it's an easy mix-up. The plain T5 covered on this page (graphene/lead-acid battery, Rs 253,500) is a different, cheaper product from T5L, which carries a genuine LiFePO4 lithium pack and is priced roughly Rs 290,000-305,000. If a listing advertises lithium chemistry at a T5-like price, confirm which SKU it actually is before paying.
What is TTFAR regenerative braking, and does it actually work?
TTFAR is Yadea's name for a regenerative front-disc braking system, which PakWheels' first-drive review (23 January 2024) describes as helping 'increase mileage in stop-and-go traffic' and praised for its feel on bumpy roads. That same review flagged the rear drum brake as only average by comparison. This is one dated, named reviewer's assessment, not an independent lab test.
How fast does the T5 really go, and how far?
Yadea claims 45 km/h and 90-100 km range. A PakWheels first-drive reviewer (published 23 January 2024) recorded 55 km/h in sport mode — faster than the manufacturer's claim at the time — and estimated around 105 km of range. That review may reflect an earlier model-year T5 rather than the exact spec sheet sold today, so treat it as directional real-world data, not a guarantee for the current unit.
Is the T5's battery lithium or lead-acid?
Lead-acid family. The plain T5 uses Yadea's 'graphene' pack, which per an industry writeup from Graphene-Info is built on lead-carbon battery technology rather than lithium. The pricier T5L variant is the one with genuine LiFePO4 lithium — don't assume the base T5 has upgraded chemistry just because a nearby SKU does.
Can I buy the T5 on installments or through a government subsidy?
Yes. Bank Alfalah's Step-By-Step plan quotes an Rs 11,804/month payment over 36 months at 0% markup for the T5 (yadea.com.pk, published 7 May 2026). Bank of Punjab's Bloom arm separately covers it under its 3-to-48-month plan. The plain T5 is not eligible for the federal PAVE e-bike subsidy, which Yadea reserves for the lithium-equipped T5L, along with M3H and Velax.
