Pakistan's first-ever electric bike-sharing service has been launched that will be available in first phase in twin cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad followed by all major cities. 

The Minister for Information Technology and Telecom, Syed Amin-ul-Haque, while performing the launching said that ezBike would be a great option, especially for working women. 

The bikes would be available near stations of the metro-bus service in the twin cities. 

Launched by Roamer Technologies, an Islamabad-based startup, ezBike is an app-based service that deploys electric bikes around the city. The entire procedure from registration to booking and payment is digital. Users pay Rs 5 to unlock the bike and Rs 5 per minute will be charged on their ride. 

Mohammad Hadi, CEO, Roamer Technologies, remarked that only 10 percent of the Pakistani population owned a vehicle and mobility was still a largely unsolved problem. 

He disclosed that ezBike planned to deploy over 2,000 electric bikes within the next year.
