VinFast begins selling electric bike in U.S., VF DrgnFly

April 15, 2024

VinFast Auto has announced the upcoming U.S. release of its VF DrgnFly electric bike.

The bike, priced at $2,599, is set to hit the market by late April. This follows the bike’s unveiling at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2024. It’s powered by a 750W rear hub motor, a single-speed gearbox, and a torque sensor, offering a smooth and responsive riding experience with a top speed of up to 28 mph (45 km/h)\*. The torque sensor adapts to each input, detecting changes in force of up to 16,000 times per second, which is significantly more than traditional sensors found in conventional electric bikes.

The VF DrgnFly is a smart electric bike featuring a unique design inspired by the image of a flying dragon in Vietnamese culture. It comes with a wide handlebar, balloon tires, and an ergonomically designed saddle. The bike also uses a flat frame rather than a traditional tube frame, which offers a distinctive aesthetic while maintaining an optimal balance between weight and durability.

The VF DrgnFly supports a mobile application that provides riders with a range of smart features, including multiple driving modes, ride statistics records, and opening/locking with special modes. Over-the-air (OTA) software updates will be available to continuously enhance the bike’s features and user experience.

The VF DrgnFly has a range of up to 68 miles (110 km)\* on a single charge, supported by an advanced energy optimization system. It comes with a home charger and a removable lithium-ion battery for added convenience.

VinFast is actively expanding into key markets such as the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Vietnam’s neighboring countries in Asia, as well as the Middle East and Africa. The company is also planning to accelerate the construction of EV manufacturing plants in the U.S. and India, and establish a plant in Indonesia.
