An important part missing on all electric bikes in Pakistan


Every company assembling electric bikes and scooters in Pakistan needs to include a manual parking system because it is a crucial safety and stability feature for electric vehicles. Unlike traditional petrol bikes, electric scooters don’t have a gearbox or engine compression to keep the vehicle from rolling when parked. Without a parking lock, even a small incline or accidental push can cause the scooter to move on its own. The manual parking system, which works through a lock attached to the brake lever, acts like a handbrake—holding the wheels firmly in place when the bike is parked. This ensures the scooter remains steady and secure in all parking conditions.

Another major reason for including this feature is cost efficiency and practicality. The manual parking system is simple, reliable, and affordable to produce, which makes it ideal for Pakistan’s price-conscious EV market. It requires no sensors or electronic modules, meaning it doesn’t consume battery power or increase maintenance complexity. Riders can easily engage or release the lever lock by hand, making it especially useful in areas with uneven roads, narrow parking spaces, or busy urban markets where stability is essential.

The Metro Yadea A7 Triwheel serves as a perfect example of this system’s usefulness. Designed primarily for elders, women, and special individuals, it features a manual parking system integrated into its brake levers, allowing users to park confidently without worrying about the bike rolling away. This simple mechanism enhances safety, especially for users who may not have the strength or reflexes to handle sudden movements. By including such a system, Metro ensures both safety and convenience, setting a standard that every local assembler should follow.

In short, the manual parking system is not just an add-on—it’s an essential safety feature that improves usability, ensures rider confidence, and adapts perfectly to Pakistan’s road and market conditions.
