Electric bikes are gradually catching on in Pakistan amid soaring inflation and fuel price hikes. New startups are also making efforts to diversify and capitalize on the burgeoning demand.
Recently, a startup named ZYP Technologies became viral on social media. According to the company’s official website, it is working on a new electric bike. Dubbed Magvus, this bike is Pakistan’s first EV with a swappable battery.
The photos show that Magvus is derived from the Road Prince Wego, a popular Chinese 150cc bike. According to the company, the bike has the following features:
The company is also working on developing battery swap stations. According to Horsepower Pakistan, these stations will be able to swap a battery in less than two minutes. This concept serves as a ‘fuel station’ for bikes and has been in practice in India and other countries for a long time.
Information about Magvus’ launch and price is currently unknown. Although, with the bike almost production-ready, its launch will likely happen soon.
