VinFast just made a strong move in Vietnam’s electric scooter space. The company revealed four new electric motorbike models on January 15, 2026, and it did not stop there. Right after the launch, VinFast highlighted a major step forward in its battery-swap rollout across the country.
So this is not just a “new models” moment. It is a bigger plan that mixes new scooters, swappable batteries, and a growing network that supports daily riders.
The new lineup covers four clear use cases. You get Evo, Feliz II, Viper, and Amio. Three models focus on fast battery swapping. One model targets students and short city trips with a simpler, slower setup.
And yes, this rollout matters. It makes electric commuting feel easier, faster, and less stressful.
The four new scooters, explained in plain language
VinFast Evo
The Evo looks like VinFast’s high-volume model. It is made for everyday city riding, and it leans on one big advantage. It uses a battery setup designed for quick swapping, so riders can “refuel” in minutes.
VinFast opened early deposits for the Evo from January 15 to January 29, and the listed price is 19.99 million VND (battery not included). Early buyers get a 1 million VND discount, and the first deliveries are expected as early as February 2026. That fast delivery window helps the Evo hit the streets quickly.
VinFast Feliz II
Feliz II sits close to Evo in the lineup. It targets riders who want a commuter scooter that still feels simple to own. At the same time, it stays inside the same battery system as Evo and Viper, which is a big deal for convenience later.
So if you pick Feliz II, you are not locked into slow charging at home. You can lean on swapping instead.
VinFast Viper
Viper is the most tech-focused scooter in the set. VinFast highlights a Smart Key system that supports tracking, locating, and remote on and off control. That feature list aims to reduce theft stress, which many city riders deal with daily.
Viper still keeps the swappable battery design. So it fits the same daily rhythm as Evo and Feliz II. Swap, ride, repeat.
VinFast Amio
Amio is the “easy entry” model, and it stands apart for a reason. It is compact, pedal-assisted, and designed around lower speed. VinFast positions it as a student-friendly option for short trips, errands, and simple city rides.
Amio comes with an 800W in-hub motor, a 30 km/h top speed, and a 1.024 kWh LFP battery. VinFast lists an expected range of up to 65 km per charge under standard conditions. So it fits the “small and practical” lane on purpose.
The real story is the battery system, not just the scooters
Evo, Feliz II, and Viper share a common layout under the seat. Each one has two battery slots, and each slot is designed for quick removal and replacement. They use LFP batteries, and each pack is listed at 1.5 kWh.
That matters for one simple reason. Battery swapping replaces long waiting times.
A lot of riders live in apartments, and charging access can be annoying. Some riders work long shifts, and they want a quick stop, not a long break. So a swap network gives both groups the same benefit: speed.
VinFast even shared estimated range figures for the new swappable models. With two fully charged batteries, Evo can travel around 165 km. Viper and Feliz II sit around 156 km under standard conditions. Real-world range will change with speed, rider weight, hills, and traffic. Still, the message is clear. These scooters are built for daily use, not short weekend rides.

4,500 swap cabinets are already in place, and the goal is massive
The scooters are only half of the story. The other half is the network that keeps them moving.
VinFast says it has completed 4,500 battery swap cabinets across 34 provinces and cities. Next, the company aims for 45,000 cabinets nationwide by Q1 2026. That is a huge jump in a short time.
So what does that mean for riders? It means swapping can become normal, not rare. It means riders can build routines around swap points near home, work, and shopping areas.
VinFast has even compared the planned cabinet density to gas stations. The company claims the future swap network could be around 1.5 times higher than the current number of fuel stations. That statement is meant to calm the biggest worry people have. “Will I get stuck with a dead battery?” VinFast wants the answer to feel like a confident “no.”
Pricing and battery rental make the entry cost feel lighter
VinFast does not force battery ownership on day one. Riders can rent batteries on a monthly plan instead, and that changes the math fast.
The published monthly fees are 175,000 VND for one battery or 300,000 VND for two. Each swap costs 9,000 VND. So you pay a steady monthly fee, then add swaps only when you need them.
That structure lowers the barrier for first-time buyers. It also reduces battery anxiety. You do not have to worry about future replacement costs right away. You just ride and swap.
VinFast has pushed extra incentives too. Reports linked to the launch mention a direct 6% price reduction and support for registration fees during the early months of 2026. So the company is not only releasing new models. It is pushing volume early, and it is trying to grow real network usage fast.
Why this rollout tightens VinFast’s grip on Vietnam’s scooter market
This launch is not just about new scooters. It is about creating habits.
VinFast now sells several models that share the same battery format. At the same time, its swap network keeps expanding across the country. That mix builds a strong convenience loop. The more cabinets appear, the easier these scooters feel to own. Then more riders join. Then the network becomes even more useful.
Amio strengthens the lineup in a different way. It brings younger riders and families into the brand early. Then, as riders upgrade later, VinFast has a clear next step ready inside the same ecosystem. So the brand can cover the full city rider ladder, from beginner rides to full commuting.
VinFast’s four-scooter launch puts pressure on competitors in a simple way. It is not just specs. It is the full system around the scooter. Models, batteries, and swap points all work together. And for many riders, that day-to-day convenience becomes the deciding factor.
