Vietnamese automaker VinFast has made its mark in the global sustainable mobility movement with the introduction of its VF DrgnFly electric bike to the U.S. market. The VF DrgnFly combines American e-bike trends with Vietnamese cultural aesthetics, offering U.S. consumers a unique moped-style e-bike option. Inspired by the image of a flying dragon, a revered symbol in Vietnamese culture, the bike features wide handlebars, fat tires, and an ergonomically designed saddle for comfort and control on various terrains.
VinFast’s commitment to world-class manufacturing and design prowess is evident in the VF DrgnFly’s innovative “flat frame” design, which deviates from traditional tube frames. Besides enhancing the bike’s visual appeal, this design optimizes the balance between weight and durability.
Equipped with a 750W rear hub motor and a torque sensor that provides ultra-sensitive feedback, the VF DrgnFly ensures a smooth and responsive ride. With a top speed of up to 28 mph (45 km/h) and a range of up to 68 miles (110 km) on a single charge, the bike offers impressive performance. The mobile application accompanying the e-bike offers various driving modes, ride statistics, and remote access features like locking and unlocking, all supplemented by regular software updates.
To instill confidence in customers, VinFast provides a two-year warranty for the VF DrgnFly, exceeding the industry standard of one year in the U.S. However, the higher price tag of $2,599 may pose a challenge for customers in a saturated U.S. e-bike market where lower-priced options are readily available.
VinFast’s launch of the VF DrgnFly in the U.S. reflects the company’s commitment to bringing electric mobility to a wider audience. As it expands its presence in other markets, including Canada, Europe, and countries across Asia, VinFast also plans to establish new manufacturing plants in the U.S., India, and Indonesia. These endeavors exemplify VinFast’s ambitions in the electric vehicle industry and its dedication to providing a diverse range of sustainable transportation options for a greener future.
