KARACHI: Ofero, an electric mobility brand with existing operations across Southeast Asia and Latin America, has entered Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market with three scooter models. The Ofero Thunder, Ofero Hero and Ofero Magical are now listed on the company’s Pakistan website, priced between Rs. 229,999 and Rs. 349,999.
The three scooters share a common platform — brushless hub motors, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs, and IPX7-rated water resistance — but are differentiated by motor output, battery size and claimed range. The Thunder is positioned as the performance flagship, the Magical prioritises range over power, and the Hero sits between the two as the mid-tier option.
Variants and Specifications
| Model | Price | Motor (Rated/Peak) | Top Speed | Claimed Range | Battery | Peak Torque | Max Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ofero Hero | Rs. 229,999 | 1,000W / 1,500W | 55 km/h | 65–90 km | 64V 25Ah LFP | 74 Nm | 200 kg |
| Ofero Magical | Rs. 259,999 | 800W / 1,200W | 53 km/h | 80–100 km | 48V 32Ah LFP | 66 Nm | 200 kg |
| Ofero Thunder | Rs. 349,999 | 1,500W / 2,000W | 65 km/h | 65–90 km | 76.8V 25Ah LFP | 108 Nm | 200 kg |
The Thunder carries the highest-voltage battery pack in the range at 76.8V, paired with the highest peak torque figure at 108 Nm. The Magical, despite having the smallest motor, is rated for the longest claimed range at up to 100 km, reflecting its larger 32Ah battery capacity. Ofero has not published wheel size, suspension type, braking configuration or charging-time figures for any of the three models.
Features and Safety
All three scooters use brushless hub motors rather than mid-drive or chain-driven setups, and share the same LFP battery chemistry, which is generally more thermally stable than other lithium formulations used in two-wheelers. Each battery pack carries an IPX7 water-resistance rating, and each model is fitted with an LED instrument display. Maximum load capacity is rated at 200 kg across the range.
Ofero has set a uniform warranty across the lineup: three years on the battery and two years on other parts and the motor. The company has not disclosed information on braking hardware, ABS availability or connectivity features for any of the three models.
Availability
Ofero has published pricing for the Thunder, Hero and Magical on its Pakistan website, but has not disclosed a booking deposit amount, delivery timeline, or details of a dealership and after-sales service network in the country. It is also not clear from available information whether the scooters are being imported in completely built-up (CBU) form or assembled locally — a distinction that affects how a model qualifies under Pakistan’s tiered import-duty structure for electric two-wheelers.
Pakistan Auto Market Impact
Ofero’s entry comes as Pakistani authorities continue to expand incentives for electric two-wheelers. In February 2026, the government opened registration for the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) scheme, introduced under the National Electric Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–2030. The scheme offers a subsidy of up to 20 percent of the purchase price on eligible electric motorcycles and auto-rickshaws, along with interest-free financing on the remaining balance, applied for through a dedicated online portal. Budget 2026–27, presented in June, left the existing tax structure for electric bikes and scooters unchanged, preserving a concessional customs duty regime that industry groups had feared might be revised upward.
That policy support has coincided with strong momentum in the underlying market. Pakistan’s two- and three-wheeler segment closed fiscal year 2026 at a record 1.97 million units sold, according to industry data compiled by Arif Habib Limited from Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association figures. Within that market, the electric segment has grown far faster than the internal-combustion base: industry tracking firm MotorcyclesData reported electric two-wheeler sales up 191 percent year-on-year in the first four months of 2026. That growth has run alongside volatile fuel prices, with petrol trading in the Rs. 327–333 per litre range through early August 2026 as the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority shifted to daily price revisions.
The combination of subsidy support and rising fuel costs has drawn a wave of new entrants into the segment — industry reporting earlier this month counted roughly 84 companies now making or importing electric motorcycles and scooters in Pakistan, up from almost none three years ago. Ofero’s Hero, at Rs. 229,999, lands close in price to two other electric scooters launched in the market within the past year:
| Model | Price | Motor | Top Speed | Claimed Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eveon T11 | Rs. 219,000 | 1,500W | 55 km/h | 90 km |
| Ofero Hero | Rs. 229,999 | 1,000W / 1,500W | 55 km/h | 65–90 km |
| REVOO C35 Young | Rs. 235,000 | 1,200W | 35–55 km/h | 80–115 km |
On paper, the Hero’s rated motor output trails both rivals at a similar price point, though its 1,500W peak rating narrows the gap with the Eveon T11.
What Happens Next
Ofero has not announced a launch event, dealership network or after-sales service structure for Pakistan, and no other outlet had independently confirmed additional details on the entry at the time of this report. On promotional material for its Latin American operations, the company describes itself as a Southeast Asian-origin brand with roughly three years in the electric-vehicle business and more than 50,000 units sold across markets that include Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico, Colombia and Pakistan — a claim that has not been independently verified for the Pakistani market specifically.
Whether Ofero can sustain its pricing and build market share will depend on details the company has yet to disclose, including local service infrastructure and spare-parts availability, as it enters a segment where dozens of brands are already competing for the same subsidy-backed demand.
