Metro electric bikes are manufactured by Metro E-Vehicles, the EV division of Pak Star Automobile (Pvt.) Limited — Pakistan's second-largest 3-wheeler manufacturer, incorporated in 2007, with Metro motorcycles (70cc/125cc) sold across Pakistan for over 20 years. The EV division launched in 2023 in partnership with Yadea, the world's largest electric two-wheeler brand. The pre-existing nationwide dealer infrastructure is Metro's single biggest structural advantage over newer EV entrants.

Battery Technology Explained
Metro uses three battery chemistries across its lineup. Battery type is the biggest variable in price, lifespan, heat tolerance, and long-term value.
1. Nano Carbon Fiber-Graphene
Used in T9, T9 Pro, T9 Sport, T9 Eco, Wonder Bike, Thrill, and most entry-to-mid range models.
- Charge cycles: 1,000 (approximately 3–4 years daily riding)
- Fastest charging in Metro's lineup
- Heat-resistant for Pakistan's urban climate
- Non-flammable construction
- 3x longer lifespan than lead-acid batteries (rated ~300 cycles)
- Warranty: 18 months standard
2. LiFePO4 — Lithium Iron Phosphate
Used in T9 Sport Lithium, Thrill Pro Lithium, M6 Lithium, Thrill Lithium, M6 Empower Lithium. Identified by "Lithium" in the model name.
- Charge cycles: up to 1,100
- Most thermally stable chemistry in Metro's portfolio
- Does not overheat under 45°C+ summer temperatures the way standard lithium-ion can
- Best for Lahore, Multan, Sukkur, and other high-heat cities
- Best for buyers keeping the bike 3-plus years
- Warranty: 18 months standard; 4 years under PAVE scheme for approved models
3. NMC — Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt
Used in Miku Super only. Highest energy density in Metro's portfolio — lightweight and power-dense. Enables the Miku Super's 120 km range and approximately 85 km/h top speed.
Battery Comparison

TTFAR Motor Technology
TTFAR (The True Full Area Regeneration) is a motor system developed by Yadea that recovers kinetic energy when the throttle is released or brakes are applied, feeding it back into the battery while riding. Extends practical city range by 8–12% over a comparable non-regenerative motor. Most effective in stop-and-go traffic in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi.
Models with TTFAR: T9, T9 Pro, E8S Pro, E8S Range Maker, E8S Mountain Climber.
