VinFast Patents New Electric Scooter and Motorcycle in India

Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has filed patents for two new electric two-wheelers in India, continuing preparations for its entry into the domestic market.

The newly patented vehicles include an electric scooter bearing design similarities to the Vento S previously showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, alongside an electric motorcycle styled after a concept revealed earlier this year. Official launch timelines for the models have not yet been announced.

The patented scooter features a side-mounted motor rather than a hub-mounted setup, which could position the offering in a premium segment within the Indian market.

In its previous Vietnamese specification, the Vento S utilized a side-mounted motor producing a peak power of 5.2kW paired with a 3.5kWh LFP battery, achieving a top speed of 89kph and an ideal-condition range of 160km.

The design also incorporates rear disc brakes, aligning with higher-spec domestic rivals, though specifications regarding Indian-market braking configurations and ABS remain unconfirmed. Alongside the scooter, the newly filed motorcycle patent points to a broader product roster as the brand establishes its retail framework in India.
