VinFast Evo Grand Lite: Price 18 million VND, maximum range 198 km.

Launched in Vietnam in July 2025, the VinFast Evo Grand Lite quickly attracted attention in the mainstream electric motorcycle segment thanks to its price of 18 million VND (including VAT, battery, and charger) and practical technical specifications. According to MotorCycles Data, VinFast is leading in electric motorcycle sales in the country, and the Evo Grand Lite clearly demonstrates the company's formula: hardware sufficient for urban use, a durable LFP battery, and accessible ownership costs.

The technological highlight of the model is its 1,500 W in-hub motor (maximum 1,800 W), a 1.2 kWh LFP battery with an additional battery tray allowing for the addition of a 2.4 kWh battery. According to the manufacturer, the dual-battery configuration provides a maximum range of up to 198 km per charge under optimal conditions. Currently, VinFast is offering a 10% discount and 100% support for registration fees; buyers pay from 15.84 million VND for the vehicle, with the additional battery costing 5 million VND.

Classic scooter design language, a signature of VinFast.

The Evo Grand Lite follows the classic European scooter design with round headlights, round mirrors, and a flared rear body. Soft, rounded edges create a sleek silhouette, while VinFast's distinctive design remains clearly visible in the headlight graphics and body styling. The flat footrest, thick seat, and tiered seating arrangement prioritize comfort in urban environments.

The color options include black, white, yellow, and lavender purple, catering to a wide range of tastes from students to families. In terms of power output, the Evo Grand Lite approaches many models in higher price segments; therefore, its value-for-money ratio is a competitive advantage.

Driving position and user convenience

The digital instrument panel on the dashboard clearly displays operating information. The full LED lighting system optimizes visibility and saves energy. The integrated mechanical lock allows for quick access to the seat when storing items. A notable advantage is the 35-liter trunk – a capacity comparable to some larger gasoline-powered scooters, enough to hold a full-face helmet and everyday items.

Urban performance: 1,500 W motor, 82 kg weight.

Weighing in at 82 kg (including battery), the bike boasts a good power-to-weight ratio for its class, supporting quick initial acceleration in urban areas. The in-hub motor has a rated power of 1,500 W, capable of reaching a maximum of 1,800 W; the design load capacity of 122 kg allows for carrying a passenger or light cargo.

The car has two driving modes, ECO and SPORT, switched using a knob on the right. The manufacturer claims the Evo Grand Lite can climb inclines of up to 20 degrees at 4–5 km/h, and is confident enough to handle common urban overpasses of around 5 degrees. The top speed is 48 km/h – within the speed limit in the city and does not require a driver's license, provided the driver is 16 years old or older.

LFP battery and range: 70 km, expandable to 198 km

The standard configuration uses a 1.2 kWh LFP battery, providing a range of up to 70 km per charge under optimal conditions (one person, maintaining a speed of 30 km/h). An additional battery tray allows for the installation of a 2.4 kWh LFP battery; according to VinFast, the total range can reach a maximum of 198 km per charge. The LFP battery comes with an 8-year warranty, with no mileage limit, and is highly rated for its stability and thermal safety – a crucial factor in hot climates.

Safety and chassis: double suspension, front disc brakes

In its price range, the Evo Grand Lite's chassis is well-equipped: telescopic front suspension and dual-spring rear suspension offer better shock absorption than the single rear shock absorber configuration commonly found in some budget scooters. The front disc brake combined with the rear drum brake is suitable for the scooter's top speed of 48 km/h. All LED lighting contributes to increased illumination efficiency and longevity.

Pricing and positioning

At 18 million VND, the Evo Grand Lite is in the budget electric scooter category, but its specifications are close to those of higher-end models (for example, power comparable to some more expensive competitors). Current promotions bring the actual price down to 15.84 million VND, bringing the total cost including the spare battery to approximately 20.84 million VND. With a top speed of 48 km/h, this model is suitable for city commuting, students (16 years and older), office workers, and senior citizens who need a compact and easy-to-use vehicle.
