While VinFast already has a wide electric two-wheeler portfolio across overseas markets, the brand appears to be developing some entirely new models for India
After entering the list of the top 5 electric car brands in India, VinFast seems to be aiming to achieve similar success in the electric two-wheeler segment. Towards that end, a number of design patents have been filed this year. Building on that, VinFast has now filed patents for a new electric motorcycle and an electric scooter.
VinFast new electric scooter – Key features
Patent images reveal a classic design approach, with smooth, curvy panels across the bodywork. A similar design was previously seen with the VinFast Vento S, which was showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. While using a largely retro-inspired theme, the new electric scooter patented also gets some quirky elements such as a triangular headlamp with an integrated DRL element.
While visually attractive, the smooth panelling could also be functionally relevant, helping reduce aerodynamic drag. Other key features include a broad front fender, ‘V’ badging on the front apron, and geometric-style turn indicators. The scooter has oval-shaped rear view mirrors, a flat floorboard, a wide and comfy seat and a chunky grab rail.
At the rear, the scooter gets a V-style horizontally positioned tail lamp. This new electric scooter has a different hardware setup such as a side-mounted motor. This is different from other VinFast electric scooters, all of which use a hub-mounted motor. The scooter’s premium styling and features like a side-mounted motor suggest that it could be positioned as a premium offering. One can also notice disc brakes at both ends, which is typically seen with premium scooters.
Other details such as motor output, battery pack and range have not been revealed. However, the specs could be similar to Vento S, even though that scooter is no longer available in any market. Vento S had a similar design approach and was equipped with a side-mounted motor. It had a 3.5 kWh LFP battery, offering a range of up to 160 km. Top speed of the scooter was 89 km/h. The electric motor generated 5.2 kW or approx. 7 PS of max power.
VinFast new electric motorcycle patented
With features like large, track-ready tyres at both ends, an aggressive riding stance and a massive housing for the electric powertrain, VinFast’s new electric motorcycle is positioned as a performance-oriented machine. This is one of the several high-performance electric bikes that VinFast is working on.
So far, the names that have surfaced include the Subab, a street bike called Surad, a cruiser named Sudub and a supersport bike called Sulad. All of these will be based on VinFast’s electric platform concept. While specs of the bike have not been revealed, some reports in Vietnam claim max power output of 50 kW or 68 PS. For street-legal use, the top speed could be capped at around 130 km/h.
