Both the electric models will be offered in the premium segment with multiple high-end features, massive battery packs and superior performance
Vinfast is all set to enter the Indian two-wheeler industry with multiple new scooters and motorcycles. The Vietnam-based pure EV brand has been on a design patent filing spree for the past several months. Now, the company has patented two more models in the form of an electric scooter and electric motorcycle. Recently, it had signed Letters of Intent (LOIs) with its first 50+ dealer partners across 15 states and territories in the country. Vinfast will locally assemble these models at its existing factory in SIPCOT Industrial Park in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu.
Coming to the latest design patents, the electric scooter appears to be inspired by VinFast Vento S, which was one of the many models that the brand unveiled at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Equipped with a side-mounted electric scooter, it is quite different from the other Vinfast scooters which are sold with a hub-mounted motor.
Just so you know, most hub-mounted electric scooters are budget-friendly offerings and hence, it is safe to assume that the upcoming model patented by the brand in India could be a premium model. The Vento S is presently not on sale in any country and hence, it would be interesting to see how Vinfast prices it in our country. The Vietnam-spec Vento S used to come with a 3.5 kWh battery pack which returns a range of 160 km on a full charge.
The electric scooter, before discontinuation, was available with a 5.2 kWh side-mounted electric motor which ensured a top speed of 89 kmph. The Vento S also boasted of a rear disc brake and hence if the electric scooter, whose design patent has been filed in India, gets disc units at both ends, it will be joining the Ola S1 Pro, which also features a single-channel ABS.
Talking about the electric motorcycle, it is partially distinct from the VinFast electric platform concept which is likely to spawn several high-performance models of different body types in the form of Surad (street naked), Sudub (cruiser) and Sulad (supersport). The exact technical specifications have not been disclosed yet by the brand and we are likely to see the official specs in the coming months.
A few notable features of the electric motorcycle are bulky front and rear tyres, massive battery housing and committed rider triangle. A few reports from Vietnamese media indicate that the e-motorcycle could be offered with a 50 kW electric motor which would deliver a top speed of 130 kmph. Hence, the coming few months will be really interesting as Vinfast gears up to start its innings in the highly popular two-wheeler industry in the Indian market.
