VinFast Electric Scooters: Vietnam’s renowned electric giant, VinFast, is now poised to make a strong entry into the Indian electric two-wheeler market. Following the impressive VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs, the company is now launching three new and powerful electric scooters on Indian roads, directly challenging the likes of the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.
VinFast is expected to launch these high-tech scooters in the second half of 2026, especially during the festive season. If you’ve been waiting for an electric scooter with a robust range of over 200 km and global technology, VinFast’s strong plans are sure to be a welcome development.
VinFast’s Plan
VinFast has strong experience not only in manufacturing cars, but also in buses and two-wheelers. Given India’s robust sales of over 400,000 electric scooters annually, VinFast has selected three of its most robust models—the Evo, Feliz, and Viper—from its global portfolio for India. These scooters have already proven their ruggedness in Vietnam. The company plans to launch these scooters during the 2026 festive season to capitalize on strong customer demand.
Manufacturing at Tamil Nadu Plant
VinFast will bring these scooters to India through the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route. This means that the scooter parts will be imported and assembled in a robust manner at VinFast’s robust manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu. Furthermore, these scooters will be specially updated to suit Indian roads and the harsh temperatures. While the VinFast Evo will be a traditional and rugged-looking machine, the Feliz and Viper will gain traction among the youth with their underbone, steely build.
Challenge to Bajaj and TVS
VinFast’s arrival in India will pose a strong challenge to established players like the Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta, and TVS iQube. According to media reports, these VinFast scooters are expected to boast a robust range of over 200 km, a significant advantage over existing rivals. This VinFast range will be a powerful solution for those seeking freedom from the hassle of frequent charging.
