The shift toward electric mobility felt closer to home as VinFast officially introduced its latest e-motorcycles to the Philippine market during a launch at Shangri-La Makati on July 31, 2026.
The event gave media guests and industry personalities a firsthand look at the VinFast Evo, Feliz II, and Viper, three models that showcase the brand’s growing push to make electric transportation a more practical option for Filipino riders.
From the moment the motorcycles were unveiled, their sleek and contemporary designs immediately caught attention. But beyond their appearance, the presentation focused on a question that has become increasingly relevant to everyday commuters: how can riders spend less on transportation without giving up the convenience of having their own motorcycle?
For Filipinos who rely on motorcycles every day, gasoline is a familiar expense. Whether the motorcycle is used for commuting to work, running errands, or simply navigating busy city streets, fuel costs can quickly add up.
VinFast is positioning its electric motorcycles as an alternative to that routine.
The Evo, Feliz II, and Viper are designed around electric mobility, offering riders an option that does not depend on traditional gasoline. The appeal goes beyond avoiding fuel stops. The brand also highlighted the potential for lower maintenance costs, making the e-motorcycles an attractive consideration for riders who want to manage their transportation expenses more efficiently.
During the launch, VinFast E-Scooter Philippines CEO Niño Fabros spoke about the growing relevance of electric motorcycles among Filipino consumers. With gasoline prices remaining a concern for many riders, he described the new lineup as responding to a demand that is becoming increasingly visible in the local market.
The launch made the concept feel particularly timely. For a rider who spends a significant amount of money on gasoline every week, an electric motorcycle represents more than a new type of vehicle—it can be a different way of thinking about everyday transportation.
Each model in the new lineup adds another option for consumers exploring that possibility. The Evo, Feliz II, and Viper demonstrate VinFast’s intention to give Filipino riders more choices as the country gradually embraces electric mobility.
But the company’s plans extend beyond the three motorcycles introduced at the event.
VinFast also revealed its ambition to establish more than 100 showrooms across the Philippines by the end of 2026. The planned expansion is significant because accessibility is an important part of encouraging consumers to consider a new type of vehicle.
The more showrooms become available, the easier it will be for potential buyers to see the motorcycles in person, learn more about electric transportation, and determine whether an e-motorcycle fits their lifestyle.
The Shangri-La Makati launch therefore became more than a showcase of new models. It offered a glimpse into VinFast’s larger vision for electric mobility in the Philippines—one where electric motorcycles become increasingly visible on local roads and more accessible to everyday consumers.
For Filipino riders facing rising fuel expenses, the timing could hardly be more relevant.
With the Evo, Feliz II, and Viper, VinFast is making its case for a cleaner and potentially more economical alternative to traditional gasoline motorcycles. And with an aggressive showroom expansion planned nationwide, the brand is clearly looking beyond a single launch. (with reports from Carlos Aragon)
