LAHORE (Web Desk): Students waiting for electric bikes under Punjab’s CM E-Bike Scheme will now receive them from December after the government revised its distribution schedule.

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif announced the change during a laptop distribution and Honhaar Scholarship ceremony in Jhelum on November 10.

The Maryam Nawaz e-bike distribution date has been moved from November 5 to December because of the large number of bikes being manufactured.

The announcement means students who were expecting their bikes this month will have to wait a little longer. The Punjab electric bike scheme will continue, but its first distribution phase has been delayed.

Why Has the Distribution Been Delayed?

Maryam Nawaz explained that the government had initially planned to begin handing over the bikes on November 5.

However, the large number of electric bikes being manufactured required a change in the schedule.

The revised Maryam Nawaz e-bike distribution date is now set for December, although no specific day has been announced.

The delay is linked to the manufacturing process and the number of bikes being prepared for students.

The CM E-Bike Scheme aims to provide eligible applicants with an easier way to travel to their educational institutions.

The government has not yet shared a detailed date-wise distribution plan. Students should wait for official updates about when and where they can collect their bikes.

Maryam Nawaz Gives Safety Advice to Students

Along with announcing the revised schedule, the chief minister urged students who had applied for the bikes to complete proper riding training.

She also advised them to wear helmets, follow traffic rules and ride responsibly to avoid accidents.

The Punjab electric bike scheme is designed to make daily travel easier, particularly for students who face difficulties commuting to colleges and universities.

The Maryam Nawaz e-bike distribution date is an important update for applicants, but students have also been reminded to prepare for safe riding before receiving their vehicles.

Second Phase of the E-Bike Scheme

The Punjab government launched the second phase of the CM E-Bike Scheme in September 2026. The initiative aims to provide electric bikes to eligible students and improve their access to educational institutions.

The revised Maryam Nawaz e-bike distribution date means applicants will have to wait until December for the first phase to begin.

The Punjab electric bike scheme is part of the government’s wider efforts to improve student transport facilities and promote electric vehicles.

Students are advised to follow official government announcements for further information about distribution arrangements and collection dates.
