The ultra-light design of the VLF Tennis electric scooter distinguishes it from the rest. Weighing only 88 kilograms, it makes easy maneuverability possible in the highly congested urban spaces. Its agility is enhanced by the 12-inch wheels, making it ideal for city rides. Its aluminum swing arm provides durability without unnecessary bulk.
The VLF Tennis ensures comfort and practicality with a compact build. With a seat height of 780 mm, it will suit a wide variety of riders. A ground clearance of 140 mm makes sure that the ride is smooth, even on uneven surfaces. However, its under-seat storage can fit only a half-face helmet and epitomizes a minimalist theme of design.
Advanced Performance Features
The hub motor powering the VLF Tennis is powerful and consistent, generating 1.5 kW. The scooter touches a toplevel speed of 65 kmph, earning it as ideal for quick commutes. Also, gradeability of 18 degrees of the scooter ensures a smooth performance while riding on inclined roads.
A removable battery of 2.5 kWh makes a great highlight, lasting up to 130 kilometers in ideal conditions, according to IDC. Riders will find this handy when charging the battery in case it runs out as they relocate it from one area to another. In addition, the scooter is accompanied by a 720-watt charger that fully charges the battery within three hours. End
Suspension is an essential element in the comfort of any scooter, and the VLF Tennis does not disappoint with a telescopic fork and cantilevered monoshock. The shocks are absorbed quite well through potholes and speed bumps. Disc brakes at both ends further enhance safety, as they give assured stops.
The scooter incorporates advanced technology for a modern riding experience. LED lights improve visibility during night rides, while the 5-inch color TFT dashboard offers essential information at a glance. This dashboard keeps riders informed about speed, battery status, and range, ensuring a stress-free journey.
Sustainability and Market Position
The VLF Tennis electric scooter is in the upsurge of demands for eco-friendly means of transport. The battery-operated engine reduces carbon emissions and is hence a sustainable product for the environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, it operates well across temperatures from -5°C to 45°C, an element of versatility of the scooter.
Nevertheless, the VLF Tennis competes in an extremely competitive market segment. At an entrance price of ₹1.30 lakh, it appears alongside models such as the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, and Ather Rizta. Although coming at a premium price tag, the VLF Tennis is able to compete and stands apart on grounds of lightweight build and urban friendliness. End
