LAS
VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
VinFast Auto (Nasdaq: VFS) officially announces the US
rollout of the DrgnFly electric bike, at CES 2024. Underpinned by
the message "Ride your style," the DrgnFly offers riders a unique
and thrilling experience, contributing to catalyzing the future of
accessible, electric mobility for everyone.
The name "DrgnFly" is inspired by the image of the "ascending
dragon," which has deep roots in the proud history of Thang Long, Vietnam. The launch just one year after its
initial showcase underscores VinFast's unwavering commitment to a
sustainable future of green mobility for everyone.
The VinFast Drgnfly launches in the US market with prices
expected to start from $2,800 USD,
accompanied by a two-year and unlimited mileage warranty. The
electric bike is expected to debut in other global markets in the
near future.
Designed in collaboration with Eskild
Hansen, an innovative Danish studio with multiple Red Dot
Design awards, the DrgnFly seamlessly combines a vintage design
inspired by the golden era of motorcycles and a commitment to a
sustainable future. The DrgnFly design stands out with a V-shaped,
elongated frame reminiscent of the image of a flying dragon -
"Thang Long," symbolizing VinFast's
efforts to venture beyond.
Refined from the design to the experience, the DrgnFly has a
wide handlebar, balloon tires and an ergonomic riding position,
optimizing the experience for riders to confidently conquer every
journey.
Crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum, the frame ensures
both resilience and ease of handling. The exposed battery pack
seamlessly integrates into the frame, creating a harmonious blend
of classic aesthetics and electric innovation. With a driving
range of up to 63 miles (102 km) and a detachable lithium-ion
battery, the DrgnFly is an innovative electric mobility option that
is also convenient and accessible for everyone.
The DrgnFly features a 750W engine integrated into the rear
wheel and a torque sensor for smooth and instantaneous power
delivery with a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h). Underpinning the
DrgnFly's performance is an advanced energy management system,
boasting a long travel distance, instant power, and multiple riding
modes. The torque sensor adapts to movements with remarkable
smoothness, detecting force changes 16,000 times per second, far
surpassing traditional cadence sensors used in typical e-bikes.
Ms. Tran Mai Hoa, Deputy
CEO of Sales and Marketing, VinFast Global, said:
"VinFast's DrgnFly is not just an e-bike, it's a lifestyle
option for modern users who seek to express their personality. With
its unique design and a wide range of smart technologies, the
DrgnFly offers a safe yet unique and accessible mobility option for
everyone."
Beyond its striking design and advanced features, the DrgnFly is
a connected and smart electric bike. With an embedded 4G connection
and a feature-rich companion app, riders can enjoy a range of smart
features, including riding modes, remote locking/bike locator
(GPS), ride statistics records, and remote
diagnostics. Notably, over-the-air (OTA) updates will make
sure riders have a consistently optimized vehicle that delivers an
amazing experience.
The DrgnFly is the next extension in VinFast's comprehensive
electric mobility ecosystem, contributing to the company's
commitment to making smart electric mobility accessible to
everyone, creating a sustainable future for generations to
come.
