Pakistan is standing on the verge of a massive e-Bikes revolution: 🧵🏍️ In 2025, over 2 million e-Bikes were sold in Pakistan, a 40% spike from 2024 which also saw record sales. In the first quarter of 2026, more than a million e-Bikes have already been sold across Pakistan and the numbers are going up continuously. Why is it happening? With the fuel prices increasing in the country, people are choosing to go for e-Bikes as it provides cheaper rides. While petrol bikes cost around 10 Rs per kilometer, e-Bikes' running cost is around Rs. 1 per KM. That is a game changer for Pakistani commuters. Over 16 million households in Pakistan have rooftop solar panels, so running cost of e-Bikes gets even more less with the use of solar-power. Pakistani govt, specially in Pakistan's Punjab region, is promoting e-Bikes by giving subsidies and incentives. According to a research, within next five years, electric bikes are expected to capture around 70% of two-wheeler market in Pakistan. As more and more companies enter in the EV market, Pakistan is set to get even more e-Bikes on the roads.

Arab Social Media Monitoring: The UAE social media is buzzing with negative commentary about Pakistan and its alliance with Saudi Arabia. An analysis of the Arabic language X shows this negative commentary from UAE started right after: ◾ Pakistan didn't not invite UAE to the US-Iran talks in Islamabad, while reportedly observer from Saudi Arabia and Egypt were invited to Islamabad. ◾ Pakistan sent huge contingent of over 13,000 soldiers to Saudi Arabia, along with 12-18 fighter jets as part of Pak Saudi Defence Agreement. The analysis of the Arab X reveals that negative commentary about Pakistan is being strongly countered by Saudi Arabia social media users. It is also noteworthy that criticism of Pakistan & Saudi Arabia from the UAE social media is mostly originating from influencers who are linked to the govt. ◾As the content is mostly in Arabic language, so due to a language barrier, Pakistani response is mostly absent. ◾ However, Saudi X users are filling in the gap and providing a strong push back against it & supporting Pakistan. 📨 Some conversations are attached:
