Theon S and Vento S by VinFast: Revolutionizing the Riding Experience with Phone as a Key Technology
PAAK – Elevating the Scooter Experience to a ‘Car-like’ Standard
“I used to spend a lot of time searching for my keys in the morning when I owned a gasoline scooter,” said Ms. Hong Nhung from Hanoi. “Ever since I got my hands on the Theon S, I no longer worry about keys. I can effortlessly unlock my scooter using my phone.”
The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature is a standard offering on VinFast’s two most premium electric scooter models: the Vento S and Theon S. This technology acts as a smart locking system, utilizing Bluetooth connectivity between the user’s smartphone and the scooter, thereby eliminating the need for physical locks.
Through the VinFast E-Scooter app, which functions as a digital smart key, riders can perform various tasks such as unlocking, locating, and remotely accessing their vehicles…
Minh Anh, an office worker at Royal City in Hanoi, often found herself struggling to remember where she had parked her scooter in the massive parking lot with multiple sections. Her friends used to joke that she had a “goldfish brain.” However, since switching to the VinFast Vento S, Minh Anh can easily locate and unlock her scooter with her phone, just like a premium car.
In addition to the phone-based PAAK system, users also have the option to utilize a smart key with similar functionalities. With this key, riders can unlock their scooters within a 1-meter range and open the trunk with a simple press of a button. The smart key also enables remote anti-theft activation and electric lock functionality.
In the event of a lost smart key, riders can rely on the phone app to activate the anti-theft feature. Notably, even if the scooter’s battery is removed, the system will record its last known position and notify the rider of its new location once the battery is reinstalled.
Setting New Standards in Technology
Beyond its role as a digital key, the VinFast E-Scooter app offers riders the ability to track their journeys and benefit from automatic diagnostics and error notifications. Users can also update their scooter’s software to the latest version directly through the app, enhancing the vehicle’s intelligence over time.
Industry observers highlight that VinFast’s smart electric scooters stand out in the market due to their superior technological features, setting them apart from gasoline-powered scooters that offer limited innovations.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning the LFP battery technology, often referred to as the “green heart” of VinFast’s electric scooters. These batteries boast a long lifespan, exceptional heat resistance, and an eco-friendly composition that excludes cobalt and nickel.
Currently, the LFP batteries power five VinFast electric scooter models: Evo200, Feliz S, Klara S, Vento S, and Theon S. Moreover, the Battery Management System (BMS) in VinFast’s scooter batteries is a result of the company’s own research and development, tailored to the usage habits of Vietnamese riders. As a result, VinFast scooters are praised for their superior battery performance, durability, and range compared to competitors within the same price bracket.
Despite being packed with cutting-edge technology, VinFast’s electric scooters remain competitively priced, especially with the attractive promotions the company offers. For instance, VinFast is currently providing discounts of up to 12 million VND (or VinClub points) for customers who purchase a scooter with or without a battery until December 31, 2024.
According to many users, VinFast’s practical price advantages, combined with the inherent strengths of their scooters, are creating a compelling incentive for people to embrace green transportation – a growing concern among residents of large cities.
“The VinFast scooters already offer exceptional value for their price, and with the additional discounts, I decided to purchase the Feliz S as my daily commuter. It’s packed with technology, incredibly convenient, and most importantly, it doesn’t leave a gasoline smell in my garage,” affirmed Mr. Van An, a proud owner of a VinFast Feliz S in Hanoi.
