VLF India has introduced the new VLF Strada electric scooter in the Indian market, expanding its electric two-wheeler portfolio with a model that combines distinctive styling, removable batteries and a claimed range of up to 250 km. Available in two variants, City and Max, the electric scooter is aimed at commuters looking for a practical option for everyday travel as well as longer rides. The starting ex-showroom price is ₹1,19,999, while the top-spec Max variant is priced at ₹1,55,500.
The VLF Strada stands out with its motorcycle-inspired design and a choice of battery configurations. With a claimed top speed of 85 kmph, multiple riding modes and modern equipment, the scooter enters India’s increasingly competitive electric two-wheeler market.
VLF Strada Electric Scooter Price and Variants
The VLF Strada is offered in two configurations to suit different commuting requirements.
| Variant | Battery Capacity | Claimed IDC Range | Ex-showroom Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strada City | 2.16 kWh | Up to 130 km | ₹1,19,999 |
| Strada Max | 4.32 kWh | Up to 250 km | ₹1,55,500 |
The City variant is suitable for riders seeking an electric scooter for routine urban commuting, while the Max variant caters to those who prefer a larger battery and fewer charging stops. These are manufacturer-claimed IDC figures; actual riding range may vary according to traffic, riding mode, passenger load and road conditions.
Motor, Performance and Riding Modes
The VLF Strada features a BLDC hub motor delivering a claimed peak output of 4.8 kW and peak torque of 34 Nm. Its maximum claimed speed is 85 kmph, making it suitable for regular city journeys and selected faster urban routes.
The scooter offers three riding modes: Eco, City and Sport. Eco mode limits speed to 45 kmph, City mode allows up to 65 kmph, and Sport mode raises the limit to 85 kmph. These modes allow riders to adjust performance according to traffic conditions and their riding preferences. Using a more conservative mode may also help improve energy efficiency, depending on riding conditions.
Battery, Charging and Practicality
One of the key highlights of the VLF Strada is its removable battery setup. The City variant uses a 2.16 kWh battery, while the Max gets a combined capacity of 4.32 kWh through two battery packs. This arrangement can make charging more convenient for users who have access to a suitable charging point away from their parking space.
The listed charging time is approximately three hours for the City variant and six hours for the Max. Buyers should confirm the final charging specifications and battery arrangements with an authorised dealer before purchasing.
Features, Design and Safety
The VLF Strada gets a 5-inch TFT instrument display, LED lighting, keyless entry and USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports. Its design features dual-beam projector LED headlamps, a tall windscreen, a stepped two-piece seat and a rear luggage carrier.
For braking, the scooter uses front and rear disc brakes with a Combined Braking System (CBS). It rides on a 16-inch front wheel and a 14-inch rear wheel, with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. The scooter has a claimed seat height of 780 mm and ground clearance of 175 mm. These specifications make a test ride useful for assessing comfort, handling and accessibility before making a purchase.
The electric scooter is available in four colour options: Carbonio Black, Urbano Silver, Titanio Grey and Luna White. Bookings have opened through the company’s official booking channel, with a reported booking amount of ₹999. Deliveries are expected to begin in November 2026, according to launch reports.
The VLF Strada brings a combination of removable batteries, multiple riding modes and a claimed range of up to 250 km to India’s electric scooter segment. Its City variant offers a lower entry price for everyday commuters, while the Max variant targets buyers who prioritise longer range.
Before choosing between the two, customers should compare the claimed range with their daily travel requirements and consider charging time, local dealership support and the final on-road price. The VLF Strada could be an interesting option for buyers seeking a feature-rich electric scooter with a distinctive design.
