The Pakistani electric vehicle market is rapidly evolving, and a new major player has just landed with a unique identity. If you hear someone talking about the “Flying Pigeon” on the roads of Rawalpindi or Lahore, they aren’t talking about birds—they are talking about SAIGE.
In Chinese, the word “Saige” translates to “Flying Pigeon,” and this brand is bringing a fresh perspective to urban mobility in Pakistan. I recently visited the New Pak Trading Company in Rawalpindi to sit down with Faisal Mughal and take an in-depth look at two of their most promising models: the SAIGE C200 and the SAIGE E80.
A New Era of Local Manufacturing
One of the biggest concerns for Pakistani buyers regarding electric bikes is after-sales service and parts availability. SAIGE stands out because they aren’t just an importer. The Chinese parent company has established its own official factory and production line in Pakistan.
This is not a mere collaboration or a third-party distribution deal. The Chinese owners are operating directly, which ensures a robust backup for spare parts and a professional after-sales service network. This level of commitment is rare and gives SAIGE a significant edge over “ship-and-forget” brands.
Performance: The 1,200W Powerhouse
While most electric scooters in Pakistan struggle with 600W or 800W motors, both the SAIGE C200 and E80 are equipped with a powerful 1,200-watt BLDC (Brushless DC) motor.
This motor is highly responsive. The moment you twist the throttle, you get that instant electric torque. During our testing, the top speed reached approximately 50 to 52 km/h. The power delivery is managed through three selectable modes visible on the digital meter:
- Mode 1: Economy mode for maximum efficiency.
- Mode 2: Balanced mode for daily city traffic.
- Mode 3: Full power mode for aggressive acceleration and peak speed.
One standout safety feature is the braking cut-off system. The front is equipped with a disc brake, while the rear uses a drum brake (to house the motor). As soon as you press the brake lever, the system automatically disconnects power to the motor, making the braking incredibly responsive and safe.
Battery Technology and Range
Range anxiety is a thing of the past with SAIGE’s battery configuration. Both models utilize a 60V 26Ah Graphene battery pack (consisting of 5 batteries).
| Feature | Specification |
| Battery Type | Graphene Technology |
| Voltage/Amperage | 60V 26Ah |
| Single Charge Range | ~70 Kilometers |
| Motor Power | 1,200 Watts BLDC |
| Top Speed | 52 km/h |
The graphene technology ensures a more stable life cycle compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. A 70 km range per charge means you can easily navigate across town for work or studies and back without needing a recharge in between.
Storage and Practicality: “Sauda Salfa” Ready
The SAIGE scooters are designed for the practical Pakistani user. The E80 model, which is particularly popular among students and solo commuters, features a massive 35-liter storage compartment under the seat. Whether it’s a school bag, a helmet, or your daily groceries (sauda salfa), there is plenty of room.
The C200 model is slightly larger and built for adults who might carry a passenger. It features a wider, more comfortable seat. As part of a special promotion, the C200 also comes with a built-in top box, providing even more storage space for longer trips or heavier loads.
Innovation: The First Bluetooth Speaker Integration
In my three to four years of reviewing electric bikes, I have never seen this specific feature: a built-in Bluetooth speaker system.
SAIGE provides a dedicated speaker that mounts near the handle. It connects to a pre-installed port on the scooter. You can pair it with your smartphone via Bluetooth or even use an SD card. While we don’t recommend blasting loud music for safety reasons, it is a fantastic tool for listening to navigation directions, podcasts, or educational content while you ride. This “out of the box” thinking shows that SAIGE is catering to a modern, tech-savvy audience.

Final Verdict
The SAIGE C200 and E80 are more than just “Flying Pigeons”; they are serious commuters. The combination of a 1,200W motor, graphene battery, and local factory backing makes them a very safe investment.
If you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-handle scooter with massive storage, the E80 is your best bet. If you want a larger, more stable ride for two people with extra luggage capacity, the C200 at its promotional price of Rs. 165,000 is an absolute steal.
With the cost of petrol rising, shifting to a high-power electric scooter like SAIGE is no longer just an environmental choice—it’s a smart financial one. Head over to New Pak Trading Company in Rawalpindi to see these “Uran Kabootri” models for yourself before the 10-day promotional offer expires!
