Petition To Bring These Changes in Pakistani Bikes

EFI Must be Standard

In India, even Hero Splendor has an EFI engine. It’s standard nowadays, and no manufacturer in the world thinks of adding a carburetor engine to their new motorcycle. Carburetor is a really old-school technology. Especially for Pakistani weather, where there’s extreme winter and extreme monsoon, carburetor motorcycles cause pain in the neck. 

Keep trying to crank up the engine with a Kickstarter in January’s winter. It’s really frustrating, especially when you’re getting late for office or university. EFI must be a standard engine type in all Pakistani motorcycles without increasing the price. Fuel injection is not a rare or expensive technology. If brands want, they can easily import EFI injectors to Pakistan at really cheap costs.

Gear Indicator Must be Standard

All bikes, e.g., Pridor, CG, CD, and GS, must come with gear indicators. Even the Kawasaki GTO 125 from 1980 had the gear indicator, so whyn’t CG have this very basic standard feature of a gear indicator? Even more, Suzuki has the guts to charge 380k PKR for a bike that doesn’t even have a gear indicator. Moreover, installing this feature is not expensive or rocket science. Some Chinese 70cc’s like Ghani do offer this basic feature, so it’s not that expensive that Atlas and Suzuki are charging a whopping amount of money but offering motorcycles with simple speed and RPM meters.

Disk Brakes Should Be Mandatory

Another area where Pakistani bikes are lagging is the braking system. Disk brakes should be a standard feature on all motorcycles. The current drum brakes are simply not efficient enough, especially in emergencies. Disk brakes offer better-stopping power, are more reliable in wet conditions, and generally enhance the overall safety of the motorcycle. The technology is familiar, and it’s already standard in most international markets. There’s no reason Pakistani manufacturers should lag. Safety should never be compromised, and it’s time for disk brakes to be the norm rather than the exception.

Alloy Rims are Essential

Alloy rims are no longer a luxury—they’re essential for modern motorcycles. Traditional steel rims, while sturdy, are heavy and can negatively impact the bike’s handling and fuel efficiency. Alloy rims, on the other hand, are lighter, which reduces the overall weight of the bike and improves performance. They also offer better heat dissipation, which is crucial in a country like Pakistan, where high temperatures can affect tire performance.

Moreover, alloy rims are more durable and less prone to rust, making them ideal for the varying road conditions across the country. They also add a sleek, modern look to the motorcycle, improving its aesthetic appeal. While some might argue that alloy rims increase the cost, the benefits far outweigh the initial investment.
