9 electric motorbikes from VinFast Evo Lite to Amio S2 for high school students: price and specifications
VinFast offers 9 options ranging from 11.6 to 18.9 million VND for commuting to school, with a maximum speed of 25–49 km/h. Drivers of electric motorbikes must be at least 16 years old.
VinFast currently offers 9 electric scooter models priced from 11.6 to 18.9 million VND, suitable for school commuters, including Evo Lite, Grand Lite, Evo Lite NEO, Flazz, Flazz Max, Zgoo, Amio, Amio S, and Amio S2. Most models have a power output of no more than 4 kW and a design speed of no more than 50 km/h, falling under the category of motorbikes according to the legal information cited in the source.
However, the crucial condition lies not only in the vehicle specifications. According to Article 59 of the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, individuals aged 16 and above are permitted to operate motorcycles. Therefore, high school students under 16 are not allowed to operate electric motorcycles, even those with a speed limit below 25 km/h.
Conditions for using VinFast electric motorbikes for high school students.
The term "motorcycle" in this source includes two- or three-wheeled vehicles powered by electric motors, with a power output not exceeding 4 kW and a design speed not exceeding 50 km/h. The VinFast models on the list all have a maximum power output ranging from 800 W to 2,300 W, and a maximum speed ranging from under 25 km/h to 49 km/h.
Therefore, students aged 16 and above can consider these models for their daily commute to school. Parents should compare the required mileage, home charging conditions, and storage capacity before choosing a bike, as the biggest differences between versions lie in the type of battery or accumulator, operating range, and features.
LFP battery packs prioritize range and swapping capability.
The VinFast Evo Lite is the most powerful option on the list, using an Inhub motor with a maximum power of 2,300 W and a top speed of 49 km/h. It uses a 1.5 kWh LFP battery, providing a range of approximately 85 km per charge; with an additional battery pack, the range is stated to be around 165 km. This model supports battery swapping at charging stations, making it more suitable for users who have difficulty finding a fixed charging location.
The Evo Lite has a 12-liter trunk with two batteries installed, LED lights, hydraulic shock absorbers, a front disc brake, and a rear drum brake. According to sources, the motor is IP67 waterproof, meaning it can operate in water up to 0.5 meters deep for 30 minutes.
The VinFast Grand Lite is aimed at users who need a longer claimed driving range. It uses a dual LFP battery configuration, offering a maximum range of 198 km per charge; a 1,900 W Inhub motor and a top speed of 48 km/h. The 35-liter trunk is a notable practical advantage, alongside features such as a front disc brake, rear drum brake, telescopic front suspension, and dual spring rear suspension.
The Flazz Max also uses a 1.5 kWh LFP battery but has a more compact configuration, with a maximum range of 87 km on a single charge. The vehicle has a maximum power of 1,500 W, a top speed of 49 km/h, and supports battery swapping at stations. Meanwhile, the VinFast Flazz uses a 1,100 W motor, a top speed of 39 km/h, a 1.2 kWh LFP battery, and a claimed range of 70 km; with an additional battery, this figure increases to 135 km.
In the compact scooter segment, the VinFast Zgoo uses a 1,100 W motor, reaching a top speed of 39 km/h and a maximum range of 70 km with a 1.2 kWh LFP battery. It features LED lights, a digital instrument panel, and a 14-liter storage compartment. The VinFast Amio has a maximum power of 800 W, a top speed of 30 km/h, a 1,024 kWh LFP battery, and a maximum range of 65 km. A distinguishing feature of the Amio is the addition of pedals to assist movement when the battery is low.
Battery options and speed-limited versions are available.
The VinFast Evo Lite NEO is a lower-priced model than the Evo Lite but uses a lead-acid battery instead of an LFP (Liquid Power Plant) battery. It has a top speed of 49 km/h, a range of 78 km per charge, LED lights, a digital instrument panel, a 17-liter trunk, and a spacious footrest. Because it uses a lead-acid battery, this model is more suitable for families with convenient charging space.
The Amio S and Amio S2 are priced at 11.6 million VND and have the same maximum operating range of 65 km, according to the source. The Amio S has a speed limit of under 25 km/h. The Amio S2 is introduced as a version with similar features to the Amio S, differing only in color and a more youthful design. However, the low speed limit remains unchanged, and the rider must be at least 16 years old, as per the cited source.
