Rickshaws are a part of everyday life in Pakistan, and now battery-powered ones are slowly showing up on our roads too. The electric rickshaw price in Pakistan right now sits between Rs 8.4 lakh and Rs 15 lakh, depending on the model, battery and motor. In this blog, we explain what an electric rickshaw is, why people are talking about it, and what each model costs in 2026.
What Is an Electric Rickshaw and Why Is It Popular Today?
An electric rickshaw is a three-wheeler that runs on a battery and an electric motor instead of a petrol or LPG engine. You charge it from a normal power socket, and it runs quietly with no exhaust smoke. The idea is simple, but it solves real problems for people who spend long hours on the road. Fuel is the biggest reason behind the interest. With petrol selling well above Rs 380 per litre, even LPG rickshaw owners feel the pinch every month. An electric rickshaw in Pakistan costs far less to run, since one unit of electricity takes it roughly 14 km in everyday use. The driver also gets a cooler seat, because there is no engine under it, and a much calmer ride. Add the government’s subsidy push, and more owners are now taking a serious look at the switch.

Sazgar eVe Price and Specs
Sazgar is the most familiar rickshaw name in the country, and its eVe comes in three battery sizes. The 72V 90Ah version has a 2 kW motor, a claimed range of 100 km and costs around Rs 12 lakh. The middle 72V 125Ah model gets a 3 kW motor and a claimed 160 km, priced at Rs 13.8 lakh. The top 72V 160Ah variant also has a 3 kW motor, claims up to 210 km and sells for about Rs 15 lakh. Sazgar gives a three-year warranty on the battery. Keep in mind that range is a company claim, and daily driving usually gives a little less.
Other Popular Models and Prices
Besides Sazgar, the electric rickshaw Pakistan market now has newer brands too.
Tez Raftar E-Trike (1.8 kW): Rs 8.4 lakh, 72V 150Ah battery, 150+ km claimed range
Tez Raftar E-Trike (3 kW): Rs 8.9 lakh, same battery, 150+ km claimed range, 3-year battery warranty

Yes Electromotive Muva: Rs 11 to 15 lakh, 3 kW motor, 5.4, 7.2 or 16.5 kWh battery, 80 to 250 km claimed range
Subsidy and Running Cost
The higher upfront cost is the main hurdle. A popular petrol-and-LPG rickshaw like the Sazgar Deluxe XL costs around Rs 4.55 lakh, and an LPG kit adds only Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000. That is why the PM’s Electric Bike and Rickshaw Scheme matters. It offers up to Rs 4 lakh per rickshaw, which can bring the mid-range Sazgar eVe from Rs 13.8 lakh down to about Rs 9.8 lakh. On running cost, electricity works out near Rs 3.5 per km, while LPG is roughly Rs 8.5 per km. Savings grow if you drive around 150 km a day and buy without a loan. Borrowing at high interest can cancel most of the gain, so work out your daily distance first.
