The Lahore Traffic Police has established five driving training schools for students enrolled under the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme, giving them access to structured driving training and licensing facilities ahead of receiving their electric bikes. The new Punjab E-Bike Scheme driving schools are designed to make sure every student rider gets proper instruction before hitting the road.
According to the announcement, the new training facilities have been set up at five locations: Abshar Driving School, Liberty Khidmat Markaz, Greater Iqbal Park, Traffic Police Lines Manawan, and LOS Ferozepur Road. The initiative directly supports the Punjab government’s flagship electric bike scheme, which aims to give students affordable access to electric motorcycles while promoting safe and responsible riding habits from the outset.
For a scheme built around putting tens of thousands of first-time riders on the road, formal driving instruction is not a minor detail. It is one of the more practical steps the provincial government has taken to make sure the rollout of electric bikes does not translate into a rise in road accidents among young and inexperienced riders.
What Is the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme
Under the CM Punjab Electric Bike Scheme, the Punjab government plans to distribute 100,000 electric bikes to students across the province at heavily subsidized rates. The scheme lists the total cost of an electric bike at PKR 199,000, of which the student’s share is only PKR 109,000.
Key details of the scheme include:
- Students can pay their share through a 36-month installment plan, with monthly payments set at PKR 3,028.
- The government covers insurance, mark-up, and registration costs under the scheme.
- More than 33,000 public and private educational institutions across Punjab are eligible to participate in the scheme.
Students can submit their applications through the official portal at bikes.punjab.gov.pk, where eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and the application process are outlined in detail.
Why the New Driving Schools Matter
Distributing 100,000 electric bikes is a large logistical undertaking on its own, but getting that many new riders, many of them teenagers and young adults with little or no prior experience on a motorized two-wheeler, safely onto Punjab’s roads is arguably the harder part of the challenge.
By setting up dedicated training schools tied directly to the scheme, the Lahore Traffic Police is addressing this gap early rather than after accidents or licensing bottlenecks emerge. The five locations chosen, spread across different parts of Lahore, are intended to make training accessible without requiring students to travel long distances.

What Students Should Do Next
Students who have already applied for or been allotted a bike under the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme should check with their institution or the official portal to confirm whether training at one of these five schools is required before collection, or whether it is offered as an optional add-on. Given that insurance and registration are being handled centrally under the scheme, completing driving instruction early is a sensible step to avoid delays later in the process.
Key Takeaway
The launch of five dedicated driving schools in Lahore marks a practical, safety-focused step in the rollout of the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme. As the province works toward distributing 100,000 electric bikes to students, formal training and licensing infrastructure will play a key role in keeping new riders safe and the scheme’s implementation on track.
