VinFast Motio: Capturing the Hearts of Vietnam’s Youth

An attractive price coupled with a youthful and trendy design, and a reputable brand, are the factors that have made this electric scooter a hit among young people.

Charge for a month with the cost of a boba tea

“Using my saved lucky money to buy Motio was probably my first wise decision of the new year,” said Nguyen Hoai, a high school student in Hanoi, who treated herself to a new electric scooter for the new year.

Hoai chose a pink tech-colored scooter, a particularly eye-catching and popular choice among female students. After some time of using it, she noted that the Motio has a high level of refinement and sturdiness, from the plastic body to the frame, which sets it apart from scooters of unknown origin.

In addition to its reasonable purchase price, Hoai also highlighted the Motio‘s inherited strength from VinFast’s electric scooter line: its low operating costs. She observed that a full charge costs less than VND5,000 (approximately USD0.2), yet it can travel up to 82 kilometers. With her current usage, she only needs to charge it once or twice a week, which means she spends just a few dollars a month on charging – the same amount she would spend on a cup of boba tea. Charging the scooter is also more convenient than refueling a gasoline-powered vehicle.

“I charge it overnight, and it’s ready to go for almost a week. Charging at home is hassle-free, and keeping the scooter indoors means no unpleasant gasoline odors,” Hoai shared.

The cost advantage of electric vehicles is also why Motio is expected to appeal to a wide range of customers. “Motio is undoubtedly an excellent choice for students, but it’s also a sensible option for college students and even working adults like my wife, who only need to commute short distances,” said vehicle reviewer Truong Ngoc Duong, commenting on VinFast’s newest electric scooter offering.

Captivating design appeals to the youth

In addition to its cost-effectiveness, reviewer Truong Ngoc Duong also commended the Motio’s compact design, which still offers ample storage space with a 22L trunk and a small front compartment. The flat floorboard design makes mounting and dismounting easier, keeps the rider’s clothes clean during rainy days, and provides a more comfortable riding posture.

What sets Motio apart from other products on the market is its carefully crafted design by VinFast. This electric scooter blends classic scooter lines for a familiar feel with contemporary elements such as LED lights, two-tone seats, and a digital display…

The diverse color options offered by VinFast, including matte black, pearl white, yellow, vibrant red, and pink tech, have also been well-received by customers. Matte black exudes strength, while pearl white appeals to those who prefer simplicity. In contrast, the other colors cater to the youthful style of students.

“I bought this yellow scooter to get to school every day, and I can also hang out with my friends on the weekends. From the color to the details like the round headlights and the sleek design, it goes well with my style of dressing,” shared Minh Trang, a high school student in Hanoi who recently received her Motio.

Additionally, features such as a digital display for operational information, front disc brakes, and an IP67 water resistance rating are considered “hard to come by” even on higher-priced scooters, offering both convenience and aesthetic value.

With its reasonable price, youthful design, and VinFast‘s reputation, the Motio has quickly gained popularity, especially as environmentally friendly transportation options are becoming increasingly important. Furthermore, a three-year warranty for the scooter and a one-year warranty for the battery, coupled with a nationwide network of service centers in all 63 provinces, set this scooter apart from the competition and position it as a strong contender to become the go-to choice for Vietnam’s youth.
