Honda Benly E Price in Pakistan

Atlas Honda has not announced the exact price of the electric bike because it will take some time for the Japanese automaker to enter the market.

BENLY e is expected to be priced high compared to other electric bikes in market. The estimated price of Honda Benly E is around Rs.900,000 and the volume will be up to 5000 to 6000 vehicles per year.

In other markets such as Japan, the Honda BENLY E scooter is priced around ¥7 lakh 37 thousand and ¥7 lakh 48 thousand, which is equivalent of Rs.14 Lacs in Pakistan.

Analysis

Looking at the price and what this bike can offer, it really doesn’t fit here in Pakistan. About 1 million rupees for a small electric bike? This is kind of much expensive in Pakistan. It can only carry up to 60 kg, which is hardly a single person. What do you think about it? There are 3 cheap vehicles that can carry more weight. Even if we look at conventional e-bikes or e-scooters, this price does not seem to match the local market.

According to some reports, this e-scooter is only here for testing and will be available to some grocery stores and courier services only. However, it is also not the best for these companies. The main problem is the cost that these businesses have to bear to get these e-scooters. So, we have to see how this electric scooter performs in the real world for business.

Also, the latest addition to the electric scooter market is Yadea T5, which has launched Pakistan’s first EV scooter in partnership with Road Prince.
