EVEE S1 Air Self Drive, Pakistan Auto Show Lahore
Many expected flying cars at PAPS 2026. None appeared. The show stayed on the ground with cars, bikes and one experimental self-driving scooter from EVEE. Here is the clear, verified picture from official coverage.
People kept asking the same question after the Pakistan Auto Show opened in Lahore. Were there flying cars? Air taxis? Anything that could lift off the ground?
The short answer is no.
PAPS 2026 ran from 18 to 20 September at the Expo Centre. The halls were full of cars, SUVs, plug-in hybrids, pure electric cars, motorcycles and electric bikes. Official reports from ProPakistani, PakWheels, Dawn and The Nation all confirm the same thing. Everything stayed on the road.
The closest thing to future tech was a scooter.
EVEE showed the S1 Air Self Drive. It is an experimental version of their regular electric scooter. The bike can balance and move on its own without a rider holding the controls. The company says the system is still in research and testing. No price was given. No launch date was announced.
That is it. No eVTOLs. No passenger drones. No flying cars.
Here is a clear look at the one advanced exhibit that did appear.

The rest of the show focused on practical road vehicles. Chery launched the Q electric hatchback. Sazgar showed the Haval H6 GT PHEV. Suzuki added ADAS to the Fronx. BYD displayed the Sealion 6 that will be assembled here. Jaecoo brought the J5 BEV. OKLA lined up nine electric bikes at different prices.
Buyers looking for daily transport found real options. Anyone hoping for flying machines left empty-handed.
As of 19 September 2026, no verified photos or statements prove a flying vehicle was present. If something new appears later, it will need independent checking.
For now the picture is simple. PAPS 2026 delivered cars and bikes that people can actually buy and use. The flying part remains a story for another day. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
