VinFast E-Motorcycle, the electric two-wheeler division of Vietnam-born BEV brand, VinFast, is set to debut its first product lineup in the Philippines this July 31. In addition to its much-anticipated official launch, the brand is also gearing up for public test drive opportunities at any of its dealerships nationwide.
The nationwide test drive was conceived to help Pinoy rides experience the e-motorcycles for themselves and answer any questions they may have. Going electric can feel unfamiliar and raise practical questions: Will it ride differently? How do I keep it charged? And will it fit into my daily routine?
VinFast is answering these questions by bringing its electric motorcycles closer to home. With more dealerships slated to open across the Philippines starting August, riders nationwide will be able to see, ride, and buy the Evo, Feliz II, and Viper without traveling far.
A nationwide network
VinFast is preparing to expand its electric motorcycle presence across the Philippines with multiple dealerships, bringing its products, battery solutions, and services closer to riders across the country. Interested buyers can visit VinFast E-Motorcycle’s website to find dealerships nearest to them.
Throughout the next few months, VinFast will mount test drive activities at dealerships in key cities including in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao. Dealerships in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Bulacan are also expected to open public test drives, giving more Filipinos the chance to see and test ride VinFast’s e-motorcycle lineup and explore ownership options.
Test Drives
VinFast’s E-Motorcycle’s first product lineup in the market — the Evo, Feliz II, and Viper — will be available for test drives at all local dealerships.
The Evo combines elegant styling with everyday agility, with a top speed of 80-km/h and a range of up to 150-km when equipped with two fully charged batteries. The Feliz II takes a practical, versatile approach with a top speed of 90-km/h. Viper turns up the performance with sportier styling, maximum power of 5,200W and a top speed of 90-km/h.

All three models will be on display in their available color options, giving visitors the opportunity to compare their designs and features up close. VinFast representatives will also be on hand to answer questions about features, pricing and ownership options.
Throughout August, public experience activities at the dealerships will give more Filipinos the chance to see and test ride the Evo, Feliz II and Viper, experience battery-swapping technology and explore VinFast's ownership options.
One-minute battery swapping at select dealerships
VinFast plans to work with partners to deploy around 30,000 battery-swapping cabinets nationwide, creating a network designed to make battery access more convenient for riders across the Philippines.
Battery swapping stations are already available at select VinFast E-Motorcycle dealerships, giving interested buyers an opportunity to experience the brand’s battery-swapping solution.
The experience offers a practical look at how well an electric motorcycle could fit into a rider's daily routine. Evo, Feliz II and Viper each feature two battery compartments under the seat and support battery swapping. Customers can choose to purchase their motorcycles with batteries or subscribe to a battery plan, with home charging available as another option depending on their needs.
