Yadea S3 Pro Review: Powerful, 150 km range, priced at 22.9 million VND

In the price range under 25 million VND, the Yadea S3 Pro stands out thanks to its powerful motor and large-capacity Graphene TTFAR battery pack. According to MotorCycles Data, Yadea sold 1.85 million vehicles in the first half of 2025 (3.8 million for the whole of 2024), demonstrating the brand's appeal. With the S3 Pro, the manufacturer focuses on practical urban performance, a maximum range of 150 km per charge (depending on conditions), and accessible ownership costs.

In Vietnam, the Yadea S3 Pro is priced at 22.9 million VND (including VAT, battery, and charger). At this price point, the S3 Pro boasts a 2000W motor, a peak power of 3200W, and many features that most competitors in the same price range lack.

Sporty design, low-mounted LED lights.

The S3 Pro pursues a compact, sporty style, suitable for navigating narrow city streets. Its overall dimensions of 1,860 × 715 × 1,100 mm, seat height of 750 mm, and ground clearance of 150 mm make it easy to control for riders around 1.60 m tall, while minimizing the risk of scraping the undercarriage when climbing curbs or driving over potholes.

The low-mounted headlight cluster with a horizontal LED strip ensures sufficient illumination without dazzling oncoming vehicles. The lamp housing is made of UV-resistant PC plastic, preventing yellowing over time. The entire lighting system uses LEDs, increasing durability and saving energy.

Driver's area: digital dashboard, spacious flat floor.

User experience is prioritized: the 7.09-inch digital display clearly shows operating parameters and is easy to see in various lighting conditions. The function buttons are logically placed on the steering wheel, and operation is intuitive after just a few minutes of getting used to them.

The flat, wide footrest allows for flexible posture changes; the thick seat, with a slightly raised rear passenger area and neat footrests, comfortably supports carrying an extra passenger. The front features a storage compartment with an integrated charging port, convenient for keeping your wallet/phone when riding around town.

2,000W GTR in-hub motor: impressive urban performance.

At the heart of the S3 Pro is the Yadea GTR in-hub motor with a nominal power of 2,000W, reaching a peak power of 3,200W. Compared to other bikes in this price range (usually 1,500W, peak around 2,000W), the S3 Pro offers better traction, especially useful for short bursts of acceleration and climbing inclines.

The top speed is limited to 50 km/h, suitable for the general user group, including students aged 16 and above. The vehicle has two driving modes: ECO prioritizes range; SPORT prioritizes throttle response. The driver switches modes using a button on the handlebars, with quick and precise operation.

The power pack consists of 6 Graphene TTFAR 72V38Ah batteries. According to the manufacturer, the maximum range is 150 km on a single full charge, depending on usage conditions (load, speed, terrain). Charging time from 0–100% with the included charger is approximately 7–8 hours.

In exchange for its large capacity, the Graphene battery pack is quite heavy: approximately 10 kg per battery, totaling around 60 kg for 6 batteries, bringing the total weight of the vehicle with all batteries installed to 136 kg (approximately the weight of some 125cc gasoline scooters). Users should be careful when maneuvering the vehicle in tight spaces or uphill.

Safety systems and chassis: adequate and easy to control.

The S3 Pro uses a front disc brake combined with a rear drum brake, suitable for speeds up to 50 km/h. The long-travel telescopic front suspension and dual-spring rear suspension help absorb shocks and provide stability when riding in the city, even when carrying a passenger or luggage.

The 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tires offer basic comfort and safety; if punctured, the tire deflates slowly, making it easier to control. The full LED lighting system increases durability and reduces power consumption.

Convenience and storage: 21-liter trunk, smart key.

The under-seat storage compartment has a capacity of 21 liters, sufficient for storing helmets, raincoats, and some small items. The smart key comes with anti-theft and wheel locking features, assisting users when parking outdoors.
