TL;DR
VinFast has patented its Rasad electric maxi-scooter in India, alongside other EV two-wheeler designs, indicating a strategic move for market entry and offering diverse electric mobility options.
Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast has officially filed a design patent in India for its Rasad electric maxi-scooter concept. The Rasad, which was globally unveiled in early 2026, features a muscular design, chunky tires, and an underbone chassis, equipped with front and rear disc brakes, a telescopic front fork, and twin rear shocks.
This patent filing is part of VinFast's broader strategy to establish a strong presence in the Indian market, as the company has also registered patents for its Viper scooter and a motorcycle based on the Sulad concept. These actions underscore VinFast's intent to introduce a diverse range of electric two-wheelers in India, catering to the rapidly growing demand for electric mobility.
VinFast's India entry with such a comprehensive electric two-wheeler portfolio is expected to intensify competition within the burgeoning EV segment, offering Indian consumers more options in the electric maxi-scooter and motorcycle categories.
