Buying guides

Plain explanations of the things this market makes confusing. Written to be useful even if you never buy from us.

These are not written yet. The topics below are the ones buyers actually ask about, and we would rather show you the plan than link you to empty pages.

• What "110 km range" actually means

  Why the number on the sticker is measured at 45 km/h with one rider, and what you should expect in Karachi traffic with a load.

  Planned

• LFP, lithium, graphene: which battery are you buying?

  The single most common objection in this market, and the number sellers publish least often.

  Planned

  Removable packs, charging times, and the arithmetic of downtime for a delivery rider.

  Planned

• Getting it serviced in Karachi

  How to check a brand actually has parts here before you buy, not after.
