What If You Are 16 and Have No Licence?

Cost of the E-Bike
The official page has FAQs on price, subsidy, down payment, financing period, interest, insurance, registration and token tax. The answers were not included in the text you shared. The figures below come from news reports and guide websites, so confirm them on the portal.
| Item | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Total bikes | 100,000 |
| Bike price | Rs199,000 |
| Government subsidy | Rs90,000 |
| Financing period | 3 years |
| Interest | 0% |
| Down payment | None |
| Monthly instalment | Rs3,028 |
News reports say the government waived the down payment and will bear the interest and insurance costs, and that successful applicants pay Rs3,028 per month. The maths supports this. The student share of Rs109,000 divided by 36 months is about Rs3,028.
PakWheels reports that the government also pays registration and token tax, and that students get a free helmet and safety rods. Reports also mention two days of free safety training.
