VinFast Flazz Review: Electric Motorcycle That Doesn't Require a Driver's License
Flazz is aimed at young people: top speed 39 km/h, 1.2 kWh LFP battery range of 70 km; with an additional battery, the range increases to 135 km. Priced at 16 million VND, currently on sale for 14.08 million VND.
The VinFast Flazz is an electric scooter that doesn't require a driver's license, optimized for urban environments. It boasts a claimed top speed of 39 km/h, a range of 70 km per charge with a 1.2 kWh LFP battery, and can reach 135 km with an additional battery. The listed price is 16 million VND (including VAT, one battery, and charger); under current promotions, the final price is 14.08 million VND.
Compact design, versatile for urban environments.
The Flazz impresses with its compact size and modern, angular lines. Its overall dimensions of 1,745 x 700 x 1,050 mm and ground clearance of 135 mm make it easy to maneuver in the city and minimize scraping the undercarriage when going over speed bumps or rough roads.
The low center of gravity and wide footrests provide a stable and comfortable riding position. The separate rear footrests and soft seat offer better support for long journeys. The 14-liter trunk is large enough to hold a helmet and raincoat; with an additional battery, the capacity is reduced to about 8 liters, still meeting daily needs.
The HMI LED Color digital display on the dashboard clearly shows speed, battery capacity, and mileage. The car comes in four colors: bright red - matte black, glossy black, moss green, and pearl white.
Operating within a speed limit of 39 km/h
Belonging to the segment that doesn't require a driver's license, the Flazz still offers sufficient performance for urban use. The Inhub motor, located in the rear hub, delivers a nominal power of 600W and a maximum of 1,100W. According to the manufacturer, the bike accelerates from 0–40 km/h in 16 seconds, with responsive throttle for quick overtaking in the city.
The stated top speed is 39 km/h in SPORT mode, and approximately 30 km/h in ECO mode to prioritize energy efficiency. A payload of 130 kg allows for carrying extra passengers or everyday items. The telescopic front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers provide stability and reduce vibration when driving over potholes.
The motor meets IP67 waterproof standards, allowing it to operate reliably in light rain or flooding, making it suitable for urban conditions. Its 20% climbing ability (as advertised) meets the requirements for urban slopes and overpasses typically at around 5%.
1.2 kWh LFP battery, extending range to 135 km.
The Flazz uses a 1.2 kWh LFP battery located under the footrest, providing a range of 70 km per charge. An additional battery tray allows for the installation of another 1.2 kWh battery, extending the range to 135 km per charge. Standard charging time from 0–100% is approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes, making overnight charging convenient.
The battery system has thermal protection: the vehicle will not charge if the battery temperature exceeds 72°C. Warranty information from the manufacturer: 6 years for the entire vehicle and 8 years for the LFP battery, with no mileage limit.
Safety and lighting equipment
The front and rear mechanical braking system provides stable braking force across the operating speed range. LED projector headlights enhance illumination, supporting better visibility in low-light conditions. Combined with a hydraulic damping system, the car aims for a smooth ride and good body control at urban speeds.
