Model Reviews
Horwin SK1 — PKR 500,000
Entry-level scooter in the Pakistan lineup. 55 km/h top speed, 90 km range, removable 72V 36Ah lithium-ion battery. Standard kit includes disc brakes, GPS, LED lighting, LCD screen. Charges in 4–6 hours on standard home socket.
The removable battery is the key practical feature — pull it out, charge indoors, no need to park near a power point. Aimed at urban commuters in DHA and Bahria Town who want daily premium build quality without petrol costs. Not competing with Jolta or Metro price brackets.
Horwin EK1 — PKR 591,600
Same motor, same battery, same 90 km range as SK1. Additions over SK1: upgraded LED screen, built-in storage compartment, alarm system, USB charging port, rear tailstock. PKR 91,600 more than the SK1 for convenience additions, not performance upgrades.
The alarm and storage additions are genuinely useful for daily use in shared office or building parking.
Horwin SK3 — PKR 750,000
Top speed increases to 90 km/h. Moves from hub motor to mid-mounted motor — better weight distribution and stronger hill-climbing. CBS disc brakes, TFT display, windscreen, rear storage box included.
Honest caveat: SK3 battery specification has not been publicly confirmed in any Pakistani launch source. If battery capacity is relevant to your decision, confirm directly with the dealer before purchasing.
Horwin QBD2 — PKR 850,000
The only e-bike (not scooter) in the core Pakistan lineup. Mid-motor, 80 km/h top speed, removable NCM 72V 36Ah battery. Single battery: 65 km range. Dual battery: 120 km. Standard kit: CBS brakes, LED screen, GPS, USB port, alarm, front bumper, rear rack.
Most expensive model in the lineup. Positioned at riders with heavy daily distances and load-carrying needs — Ring Road Lahore or Korangi industrial corridor routes rather than standard city commuting.
Horwin CR1 — PKR 399,999 to 469,000
The most discussed model since launch. 4500W mid-mounted motor, 80–85 km/h top speed. Supports two swappable lithium-ion battery modules simultaneously. Single battery: 75 km. Dual battery: 150 km.
The braking system connects to the digital control unit — motor automatically cuts power on braking to prevent wheel slip. Relevant on wet Lahore roads in monsoon season or Karachi's flooded streets.
vs Vlektra Bolt: CR1 is priced lower (PKR 399,999–469,000 vs Vlektra Bolt at approximately PKR 549,000), offers dual swappable battery system, and uses mid-motor. Vlektra Bolt has a longer service history in Pakistan and more established local support. Technology advantage vs established track record — that is the honest trade-off.
Horwin QBB5 — Price Not Confirmed
4000W motor, 85 km/h top speed. Launch confirmed at the June 2025 Expo Center event per ProPakistani and MinuteMirror. Detailed Pakistan specs, official pricing, and real-world range data are not yet publicly confirmed. Third-party sites list PKR 850,000 as expected price but this is unverified by Horwin Pakistan.
Do not make a purchase decision based on unconfirmed third-party figures. Contact the DHA Lahore flagship showroom directly for current status.
What Makes Horwin Different
Mid-motor design on performance models: Most Pakistani EV scooters use hub motors built into the rear wheel. A puncture with a hub motor requires EV system knowledge to repair. With Horwin's mid-mount setup, a flat tyre is repaired at any roadside mechanic — no specialist required.
Dual swappable battery system (CR1 and QBD2): Nothing else at these price points in Pakistan currently offers this. 150 km range on dual battery with the ability to swap depleted packs is unique in the current market.
EDB approval and legitimate distribution: Charged Vehicles Pvt Ltd is EDB-approved. Spare batteries are confirmed available through the authorized network — battery availability is one of the biggest real-world concerns with imported EV brands in Pakistan.
Honest limitation: Horwin's service network is limited compared to Crown, Metro, or Jolta with 20–50 city coverage. Lahore and Karachi riders are well positioned. Buyers in Peshawar, Multan, or Faisalabad need to weigh service access carefully before purchasing.

Who Should Buy Horwin
Buy Horwin if:
- Budget is PKR 400,000-plus and you want European-engineered build quality
- You ride 50-plus km daily and dual swappable battery (CR1) solves your range problem
- You are based in Lahore or Karachi where service points are confirmed
- Mid-motor design and easy tyre repair at local mechanics matters to your use case
Skip Horwin if:
- Budget is under PKR 400,000 — Crown, Metro, Jolta, and OKLA offer better value at lower prices
- You are outside Lahore and Karachi — service network is too thin to rely on
- You want an established local service track record — Horwin launched in June 2025 and has limited real-world ownership history in Pakistan
