VinFast E-Motorcycle, the two-wheeler division of VinFast says its newly launched battery-powered motorcycle line-up is built with IP67-rated powertrain. This means it can withstand the flood-prone roads in the Philippines.
The VinFast Evo, Feliz II, and Viper all have motor and MCU—two critical components of the electric powertrain—that are IP67-rated. This means it can withstand dust exposure and water submersion for up to 30 minutes.
Per VinFast’s internal testing, these three e-motorcycles can withstand submersion in 0.5 meters of water for 30 minutes, as well as 30 minutes of driving through water at the same depth.
This engineering also ensures that no dust can enter the motor of the VinFast e-motorcycle, keeping its internals safe from tiny debris and fine particles. Likewise, the rating gives riders peace of mind that their e-motorcycle remains safe even in heavy rains.
The e-motorcycle batteries are likewise engineered with impact protection in mind, intentionally designed by the brand to meet European ECE-R136 safety requirements. This feature can be particularly relevant for everyday riding in the Philippines, where potholes, uneven surfaces, bumps, and other road impacts can place repeated stresses on a vehicle over time.
VinFast additionally tested its e-motorcycles against simulated demanding environmental conditions, including a 500-hour salt spray test to assess corrosion resistance in high-humidity and harsh-weather environments. Meanwhile, the batteries feature overvoltage and overtemperature protection and have passed VinFast’s internal durability tests at temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius.
The Evo, Feliz II, and Viper all feature up to two removable 1.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries.
With two batteries, the Evo produces up to 5,200W, reaches 80 km/h, and travels up to 150 kilometers. The Feliz II raises the top speed to 90 km/h with up to 145 kilometers of range, while the sportier Viper combines similar performance with features including a TFT display, smart key, anti-theft protection and vehicle tracking.
VinFast also backs its e-motorcycles with warranty coverage of up to six years or 72,000 kilometers, while purchased batteries receive the same coverage. For subscribed batteries, coverage continues throughout the subscription period.
