VinFast launches three electric motorcycle models starting from Rp17.5 million
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Vietnamese automotive brand VinFast has begun venturing into Indonesia’s electric motorcycle market with the launch of three new models: the VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, and VinFast Viper.
“These are designed for a range of consumer needs and lifestyles, combining modern technology, strong performance, safety, as well as VinFast’s battery-swapping system features and capabilities,” said Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Motorcycle Overseas Market, in Jakarta on Saturday.
The VinFast Viper features a sporty design suited to young riders, while the VinFast Feliz II and VinFast Evo build on the strengths of their predecessors in Vietnam, with various refinements tailored to the needs and preferences of Indonesian consumers.
All three models use in-wheel BLDC electric motors rated at 5,200 watts for the dual-battery configuration and 3,000 watts for the single-battery configuration.
The VinFast Viper and VinFast Feliz II have a top speed of up to 90 kilometres per hour, while the VinFast Evo can reach 80 kilometres per hour.
Each vehicle is equipped with two battery compartments under the seat that can accommodate two 1.5 kWh lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) batteries simultaneously.
On a full charge, the VinFast Evo is claimed to be capable of travelling up to 150 kilometres, while the VinFast Viper and VinFast Feliz II can cover up to 145 kilometres.
VinFast offers two battery ownership schemes: purchasing the battery outright or through a subscription service. In addition to using the battery-swapping service, users can also charge their vehicles independently at home.
VinFast is offering the Evo at an on-the-road Jakarta price of Rp17.5 million, the Feliz II at Rp18.5 million, and the Viper at Rp22 million under the battery subscription scheme.
As part of the launch programme, VinFast electric motorcycle customers will receive free battery-swapping services at public V-GREEN battery-swap stations for one year, with a maximum of 20 battery swaps per vehicle per month.
Furthermore, all models come with a warranty of up to 4+2 years or 60,000+12,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.
