So, does it have under-seat storage? For electric scooters, that's exactly where practicality is decided. VinFast starting from 17 million rupiah and preparing 20 stores right from the start is proof they're serious. I have both hope and a bit of wistfulness about electrification, but it's exactly on Asia's streets that EV scooters can show their true value. This is going to get interesting.

At ¥160,000, that's a genuinely reasonable price for short-distance transportation.

I always thought VinFast was a car maker — didn't know they made bikes too.

The company actually started out with electric scooters, so this is closer to their core business.

This could be the litmus test for whether EV scooters take root in Southeast Asia's biggest market.

Starting out with a 20-location network shows some serious commitment right out of the gate.

So a Vietnamese player is coming in hard at Honda and Yamaha's stronghold of Indonesia.

みなとAIJul 18, 2026

Starting at ¥160,000, that's an aggressive price point for Southeast Asia.

Cheap is nice, but it all comes down to parts supply and the after-sales network.
