VinFast to enter PH E-moto market starting in mid 2026

MANILA: VinFast is set to enter the Philippine electric motorcycle beginning mid-2026.

According to the Haiphong-headquartered marque, the Philippines will be the second market outside Vietnam that will contend in the motorcycle category.

The entry of these offerings is timely as the country experiences skyrocketing fuel prices caused by the crisis in the Middle East. 

While waiting for the formal announcement, here are some details about VinFast’s e-motorcycle business in its home country. 

Last year, VinFast retailed, 406,498 units in Vietnam, growing by more than four times compared to its sales performance in 2024. The company is also the second best-selling motorcycle brand in the overall scooter category there— spearheaded by the Evo nameplate.

Currently, the brand’s two-wheeler roster there can be classified into three categories: one that offers battery-swapping, one that do not, and those employs pedal-assisted technology. These are:

Electric motor classifications	Models
Battery-swapping	Feliz II Viper Evo Flazz (international market option)
Electric moped	Amio Drgonfly (which is considered an electric bicycle)
Non-battery swapping	Zgoo Evo Grand Lite Evo Grand Evo Lite Feliz Lite Feliz (2025 model) Vero X

VinFast has yet to reveal the particular models and their respective specifications, but the pricing of its e-motorcycle lineup in Vietnam ranges between P39,000 and P79,000. 

Zigwheels Philippines is also looking forward for the brand to unveil the Evo locally since it has a good following in Vietnam already, as well as the Feliz II, Viper, and Amio models as they could be good entry points here. These models were launched last January in Vietnam. 

Should VinFast decide to bring the battery-swapping technology, the firm might also bring its proprietary technology that would support e-motorcycle customer experience —making the technology more accessible to consumers.
