Isn't there always a power crunch in Pakistan? How do you charge these e-bikes?The e-bike ‘revolution’ https://www.dawn.com/news/1857612/the-e-bike-revolution
Man I got my Xiaomi Qicycle here in Japan 2 years ago.Isn't there always a power crunch in Pakistan? How do you charge these e-bikes?
If the charging problem can be solved, Chinese manufacturers will enter the Pakistani market on a large scale. These Chinese manufacturers are already having a hard time surviving in China and they are desperate to go to foreign markets.
Due to legal restrictions in China, E-bikes are allowed to exist in the country, but are not allowed to develop on a large scale.Man I got my Xiaomi Qicycle here in Japan 2 years ago.
I’m very satisfied!
With back up gensets (when necessary)and the Chinese are coming in a big wayIsn't there always a power crunch in Pakistan? How do you charge these e-bikes?

If Chinese home-grade solar power systems enter Pakistan, will they do well?With back up gensets (when necessary)and the Chinese are coming in a big way

already here. from solar panels to inverters. jinko and longi solar panels are used a lot here.If Chinese home-grade solar power systems enter Pakistan, will they do well?
we currently have surplus installed capacity, with no utilization. the crunch is because of payments to private power plants in dollars, or to those power plants that depend on imported fuel. this causes the cost of power generation to go up.Isn't there always a power crunch in Pakistan?

These are things that need to be coordinated and handled by government agencies. There is nothing you or I can do about it ..........we currently have surplus installed capacity, with no utilization. the crunch is because of payments to private power plants in dollars, or to those power plants that depend on imported fuel. this causes the cost of power generation to go up.
Most people here live in the city in Japan and almost everybody has either an E-bike or an E-Scooter. Nobody buys cars anymore bro. Parking is expensive, houses are a relic from a by gone era, marriage and kids totally out of style. Life has changed and these E-Bikes/ Scooters get you from here to there in no time. I leave my bike in the underground parking lot. There is a charging port. Nobody steals anything. No drama here in Japan. These Japanese make good cars but they all get exported. Nobody buys them here anymore. E-bikes and E-Scooters everybody wants. My Qicycle still does about 20Kms on a single charge. I love it.Due to legal restrictions in China, E-bikes are allowed to exist in the country, but are not allowed to develop on a large scale.
China's current market is completely saturated and it is now difficult for E-bike manufacturers to survive. Some companies are transforming and manufacturing to produce other products; some are seeking foreign markets.
Some E-bike manufacturers have also cooperated with technology companies to launch shared E-bikes, and there has been some development. But it is difficult to expand the market because of legal issues.
Some powerful enterprises are developing into intelligent high-end products, Xiaomi is one of the representatives.
Ordinary E-bike has entered the stage of vicious price competition.
Government agencies get free electricity so they don't care.These are things that need to be coordinated and handled by government agencies. There is nothing you or I can do about it ..........
Oh, you need to know. China's population size and density ..............Most people here live in the city in Japan and almost everybody has either an E-bike or an E-Scooter. Nobody buys cars anymore bro. Parking is expensive, houses are a relic from a by gone era, marriage and kids totally out of style.

It's very sad.Government agencies get free electricity so they don't care.
Since you're in Japan, any word on EV Kei Cars? I figured Kei Cars were the most ideal platform for EVs, especially as Japanese cities are denser (with more opportunities to re-charge vs. North America).Man I got my Xiaomi Qicycle here in Japan 2 years ago.
