Thailand’s renowned motorcycle manufacturer GPX has finally decided to venture into the Pakistani market, which is a sign of major development in the country’s motor bike industry.
For that purpose, Rally Power Pakistan has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GPX Thailand which will enable both to introduce Pakistani motorcycles under the name “Royal GPX.”
The company will start to sell motorcycles in different segments of the market from June 2026, from entry-level premium bikes all the way up to high-power bikes with large engines, says Rally Power Pakistan.
GPX was established in 2007 and is one of the major motorcycle brands in Thailand, offering sports and retro style motorcycles, modern instrument clusters with digital display, LED lighting, and unique designs.
But the particular models, their prices and local assembly plans have not been revealed in Pakistan yet.
Industry experts feel that it will further stiffen competition in the Pakistani Motorcycle market, especially in the premium segment and offer advanced and high feature bikes to the market.
Electric bikes in short supply as rising fuel prices push buyers to switch
A sharp rise in petrol prices is driving more people in Pakistan towards electric scooters and bikes, creating shortages and longer waiting times in the local market.
Dealers say demand has jumped quickly in recent weeks, as fuel costs make daily travel harder for many households. For low income commuters, running a petrol bike is becoming difficult, which has made electric options more attractive.
Supply falls short as bookings rise
With demand climbing, many popular electric models are now in short supply. Buyers are being asked to pay additional “own money” ranging between Rs10,000 and Rs15,000 to secure early delivery. Even then, waiting periods have stretched to around 30 days.
The shortage is linked to limited availability of completely knocked down kits, which are imported for local assembly. Dealers say shipments of key models such as T5-L, Velax and M3-H have not kept pace with rising demand.
According to Business Recorder, market estimates suggest around 40,000 electric two-wheelers were sold across the country in April, with scooters making up nearly 90 per cent of the total. However, sellers believe actual demand is much higher than the available supply.
Hamza Asad, Director Sales and Marketing at Evee, said assemblers have already increased orders for imported kits from China. He added that supply is expected to improve between late May and early June as new shipments arrive.
He also noted that if supportive government policies continue, electric two-wheeler sales could reach 500,000 units by the end of December 2026.
