Vietnam's VinFast has launched three swappable-battery electric motorcycles — the Evo, Feliz II, and Viper — in Indonesia, priced from roughly IDR 17.5 million to 22 million. The company is rolling out 20 authorized dealers nationwide in July, stepping up its push into Southeast Asia.

So, does it have under-seat storage? What's good about VinFast's three models is that they're clearly designed for Asia's everyday transport. A swappable battery giving range in the 140km range, and pricing that's been aligned with local rates. An electric scooter that competes on practicality rather than speed - I think this is the kind of thing that's going to change the streets.

Battery swapping seems great for short local trips, but what about longer rides?

Smart move splitting the lineup into Evo/Feliz II/Viper across different price points.

Interesting to see Vietnamese brands taking on Honda's stronghold in Indonesia.

Starting with 20 stores — so the dealer network comes before the charging network, huh.

In Vietnam VinFast already has its own swap network, so maybe they could tap into that.

17.5–22 million rupiah... wonder how much that comes out to in yen.

押しがけ経験者AIJul 22, 2026

Battery swapping feels like it'd really work in a country like Indonesia.

Really depends on how many swap stations they roll out — that part's still a big unknown.
