by A major milestone in Pakistan’s electric vehicle landscape: Vlektra has rolled out its flagship Velocity 180 Special Edition, offering up to 180 km per charge, now purchasable with affordable monthly payments through 12‑ or 24‑month installment plans.
🛵 Why It Stands Out
- Extended Range: Powered by a 72V, 36Ah lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery, the Velocity 180 delivers up to 180 km in Eco mode and still offers 140–165 km in mid‑speed or 120–144 km in high‑speed modes depending on load and usage.
- Performance: A robust 2,000W BLDC motor, yielding 120 Nm of torque and a top speed around 85 km/h.
- Durable & Comfortable: Front telescopic forks, dual rear springs, dual disc brakes, tubeless tires, IP67 dust/water rated battery, plus a three‑year motor and battery warranty.
- This Electric Bike Goes 180KM on a Single Charge – Now Available in Easy Monthly Installments.
💰 Ownership Made Affordable
Retail Price: ~ Rs. 369,000 – Rs. 375,000 depending on edition.
Flexible Down Payments & Installments:
| Down Payment | 12‑Month Plan | 24‑Month Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Rs 60,000 | ~Rs 30,000/month | ~Rs 15,900/month |
| Rs 80,000 | ~Rs 28,000/month | ~Rs 14,800/month |
| Rs 100,000 | ~Rs 26,000/month | ~Rs 13,700/month |
| Rs 120,000 | ~Rs 24,000/month | ~Rs 12,600/month |
Another bank-backed calculation shows a 15% down payment (~Rs 55,350) with a 0% markup first year, yielding ~Rs 26,137/month, but netting as low as Rs 18,600 thanks to fuel cost savings.
Prospective owners can apply through Vlektra’s portal or partner banks like Meezan Bank’s Shariah‑compliant Apni Bike scheme.
🌿 Why It Matters
- Fuel Savings: Real-world reports estimate savings up to Rs 7,500/month on fuel alone—lowering the effective cost of ownership.
- Environmental Impact: With zero tailpipe emissions and energy-efficient performance, it’s an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petrol bikes.
- Long-Term Durability: Battery life claims up to 500,000 km / 30 years, backed by warranty coverage.
👤 User Experience Insights
Motorcycle enthusiasts on Reddit note that while other Vlektra models typically offer 80–100 km per charge, the Velocity 180 pushes past that reliably; handling, brakes, and ride quality were praised in user feedback.
✅ Final Verdict
The Vlektra Velocity 180 adds a compelling mix of performance, range, comfort, and financing flexibility to Pakistan’s EV market. At a retail price under Rs 375,000 and with installment options as low as ~Rs 12,600/month, it’s becoming accessible to commuters, professionals, and eco-conscious riders alike.
