VinFast Feliz Lite 2025: Review, maximum range 262 km/charge

VinFast continues to expand its electric motorcycle lineup in 2025 with the Feliz Lite, a model aimed at the general public and those without a driver's license. The product's highlight is its standard 2.4 kWh LFP battery configuration and a tray for adding a second battery, allowing for a maximum range of up to 262 km per charge (under manufacturer's standard conditions), equivalent to the range of a fully charged gasoline motorcycle.

The Feliz Lite's in-hub electric motor has a rated power of 1,800 W (maximum 2,800 W) and a top speed of 48 km/h, making it suitable for urban commuting. Furthermore, according to the manufacturer, drivers aged 16 and above do not need a driver's license. The VinFast-manufactured LFP battery comes with an 8-year warranty with no mileage limit, emphasizing durability and long-term peace of mind.

Sleek design for urban environments, enhancing the driver's posture.

Maintaining the DNA of the Feliz line, the Feliz Lite uses soft, curved lines and a compact overall proportion suitable for both men and women. Dimensions are 1,920 x 694 x 1,140 mm (length x width x height); the seat height of 780 mm makes it easy to put your feet down and maneuver in crowded city streets. Ground clearance of 141 mm assists in climbing curbs or overcoming speed bumps common in urban areas.

The scooter is equipped with 14-inch wheels, telescopic front suspension, and dual-spring rear suspension, aiming for stability during daily commuting, especially when carrying a passenger. The design focuses on practicality: the flat footrest provides comfortable and convenient operation, especially for users carrying many items or women wearing skirts and high heels.

User experience: just enough convenience

The full LED lighting system provides efficient illumination and durability. The digital instrument cluster on the dashboard displays information clearly and is easy to read. The Feliz Lite uses a traditional mechanical key, which is user-friendly for most people.

The under-seat storage compartment has a capacity of 34 liters without the additional battery, enough to hold a helmet, raincoat, and personal items for commuting to work, school, or shopping. When a second battery is added to the auxiliary slot, the storage space will decrease accordingly.

Performance and operation: two driving modes, range of 262 km with 2 batteries.

The in-hub electric motor delivers a nominal power of 1,800 W, reaching a maximum of 2,800 W. According to the manufacturer, the vehicle accelerates from 0–48 km/h in under 16 seconds, with a top speed of 48 km/h, targeting urban commuting needs. The Feliz Lite has two driving modes: ECO, prioritizing distance, and SPORT, prioritizing traction and speed, quickly switched via a button on the right handlebar.

The standard 2.4 kWh LFP battery provides a maximum range of 134 km per charge under standard conditions at 30 km/h with a 65 kg person. With the addition of a second 2.4 kWh battery (purchased separately), the total range reaches 262 km per charge. For typical commuting, users can recharge after 1–2 weeks, depending on their travel habits.

With an IP67 water resistance rating, the manufacturer states that the vehicle can withstand submersion in water up to 0.5 meters deep for 30 minutes, supporting operation in common rainy and flooded conditions. The Feliz Lite also features regenerative braking, converting some braking energy into electrical energy to supplement driving range.
