Quick answer: Based on Asaan Ghar's cost comparison, an electric bike costs about Rs. 1 per km to run, while a petrol bike costs about Rs. 5.5 per km. For a rider who covers 1,500 km a month, that is a saving of around Rs. 10,750 a month on energy and maintenance. With Asaan EV Bike Financing, you can get up to 80% of the bike's on-road price financed, Shariah-compliant, with repayment from 6 to 24 months.
Petrol prices keep changing, and for daily riders the fuel bill is one of the biggest monthly costs. Students, office workers, and delivery riders all feel it. This is why more people in Pakistan are now looking at electric bikes.
But the real question is simple: does an electric bike actually save money? Let's look at the numbers.
Electric bike vs petrol bike: cost comparison
The table below uses the figures shared on the Asaan EV Bike Financing page, based on 1,500 km of riding per month.

| Monthly maintenance cost | Rs. 0 | Rs. 4,000 |
