Jinpeng Unveils Junoon and Zalmi Electric Motorcycles in Pakistan

BySobia Sultan

Jinpeng has introduced two new electric motorcycles, Junoon and Zalmi, to the Pakistani market, marking a shift from the typical electric scooter design to conventional motorcycle styles. The launch took place at the PakWheels Auto Show Lahore 2026, showcasing the company’s latest offerings for urban riders seeking electric alternatives.

Specifications and Pricing

The Junoon is positioned as a budget-friendly option, priced at Rs. 299,000. It features a 72V 42Ah lithium battery paired with an 1,800W motor capable of delivering speeds exceeding 65 km/h. Jinpeng claims the Junoon can achieve a range of over 100 kilometers per charge. Its styling resembles that of a traditional commuter bike with a full-length seat, alloy wheels, and familiar suspension setup.

On the other hand, the Zalmi comes with a slightly higher price tag of Rs. 320,000 but shares key technical specifications with the Junoon, including battery capacity, motor power, and range. The Zalmi adopts a tougher motorcycle aesthetic, featuring a round headlamp, upright riding stance, a front disc brake, and an integrated rear luggage rack—design elements that emphasize utility alongside style.

Distinct Designs for Different Riders

While the Junoon targets riders who prefer a conventional, streamlined commuter bike look, the Zalmi appeals to those interested in a more rugged design with additional practicality. Both bikes offer a 36-month warranty, underscoring Jinpeng’s confidence in their products. The main differences lie in the external appearance and intended use cases, rather than in mechanical performance or battery metrics.

Significance for Pakistan’s EV Landscape

Jinpeng’s move into motorcycle-shaped electric vehicles broadens the options available to Pakistani riders who typically transition from petrol-powered bikes. The higher upfront cost compared to traditional fuel-powered motorcycles is offset by potential savings in running costs and environmental benefits. Jinpeng’s decision to offer a three-year warranty along with a claimed mileage of over 100 km per charge could help increase consumer interest in electric two-wheelers.

This development is particularly relevant as Pakistan pushes towards cleaner transportation alternatives amid rising fuel prices and environmental concerns. Electric motorcycles like the Junoon and Zalmi could appeal to urban commuters looking for cost-effective and sustainable transport options.

Ayesha Ali, an automotive journalist who covered the launch, noted, “These models represent a progressive step for electric mobility in Pakistan, catering to the market’s familiar motorcycle style while embracing greener technology.” The vehicles’ presence at a major automotive exhibition also gives potential buyers a chance to engage directly with the newer electric mobility solutions.
