Air Link Communication Limited (Airlink) has officially launched AirV, its own electric bike brand, at a launch event in Lahore on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, marking the listed technology company’s entry into Pakistan’s growing electric vehicle market.
What happened?
AirV made its market debut with 11 models across six series, aimed at different kinds of riders and uses. The brand was formally inaugurated by Airlink Chairman Aslam Hayat Piracha, who said the company wants to make modern, reliable and technology-driven mobility more accessible and affordable in Pakistan. The bikes are being made at Airlink’s facility in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone in Lahore, and commercial deliveries are expected to begin within about a week of the launch, according to the company’s disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Key details
- 11 electric bike models across six series, with lithium battery options and riding ranges of up to 200 kilometres depending on the model.
- Features include cruise control, regenerative battery technology, near-field communication (NFC) functionality and anti-theft systems.
- Airlink initially plans to source the bikes from international partners while gradually shifting to local assembly, with a long-term target of up to 95 percent localisation. Replaceable lithium-ion batteries will be procured locally.
- The bikes will be offered with buy-now-pay-later financing through Airfin, Airlink’s own financing platform.
- Retail prices and complete model-wise specifications, including battery capacity, motor power, charging time, top speed and warranty details, have not been announced yet.
- The project follows Airlink’s board approval of an electric bike manufacturing project under its own brand on July 23, 2026.
What it means for people in Pakistan
For commuters, electric bikes can mean much lower running costs than petrol bikes, along with quieter rides and no tailpipe emissions. Airlink’s nationwide distribution and retail network could make the bikes widely available, and the financing option may help buyers who cannot pay the full price upfront. Local assembly over time could also bring prices down and create manufacturing jobs. Buyers should still wait for the announced prices, range figures for each model and warranty terms before booking, since those details are not public yet.
