Muscat: Muscat Municipality will soon launch electric motorbikes, which will be utilized for cleaning operations.
The new bikes were showcased at the recently held Climate Week 2026 and the Municipality said that these bikes will help reducing emissions, enhancing the sustainability of municipal services, lowering operating costs.
The bikes will have a range of 140-160 km range, more stable LFP batteries, 14 battery swapping station locations, and a 5.6 kWh total battery capacity.
The bikes will have IoT + SIM card for tracking and management.
