MotoHaus has launched the VLF Strada electric scooter in India, with the City variant priced at ₹1,19,999 and the Max variant reported at ₹1,55,500 (both ex-showroom). The City carries a 2.16 kWh LFP battery and claims up to 130 km on the IDC cycle. The Max carries a 4.32 kWh battery and claims up to 250 km. Both share a 4.8 kW peak BLDC hub motor, an 85 km/h top speed in Sport mode, a removable battery and a 5-inch TFT display. Below, we flag the figures the company has not clearly confirmed.
VLF Strada price and variants
The Strada is sold in two variants, City and Max. The only difference between them is the battery, and with it the claimed range and the price.
| Variant | Battery | Claimed IDC range | Price (ex-showroom) |
| Strada City | 2.16 kWh, 72V, 30 Ah | Up to 130 km | ₹1,19,999 |
| Strada Max | 4.32 kWh, 72V, 60 Ah | Up to 250 km | ₹1,55,500 (as reported) |
The City price comes from MotoHaus's own website. The Max price comes from launch reports, and one report rounds it to ₹1.56 lakh, so confirm the exact figure with your dealer.
The Strada joins the VLF Tennis in MotoHaus's electric line-up. MotoHaus is the Kolhapur-based company that retails VLF scooters in India.

Motor, riding modes and performance
The Strada uses a BLDC hub motor with a peak power of 4.8 kW and a rated power of 3 kW. The peak torque is 34 Nm. A FOC controller manages power delivery.
Three riding modes cap the speed, and the top speed is 85 km/h.
| Riding mode | Speed |
| Eco | 45 km/h |
| City | 65 km/h |
| Sport | 85 km/h |
The motor is IP67 rated for dust and water protection under specified test conditions. The brochure also lists a maximum climbing capability of 17 degrees, a specified figure rather than a tested real-world one.
Battery, range and charging
Both variants use a 72V lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system with a dedicated BMS. The battery system is IP67 rated.
- City: 2.16 kWh, 30 Ah, claimed IDC range of up to 130 km
- Max: 4.32 kWh, 60 Ah, claimed IDC range of up to 250 km
The battery is removable, so you can take it out for charging or replacement. The brochure adds that this is "subject to the supported configuration", and it does not describe any battery-swapping network.
Charging time is the one place where the company's own material disagrees with itself. The brochure gives a 2-hour charging time "under the listed charging configuration", while the supplied charger is specified at approximately 6 hours for charging both batteries. The brochure does not say what the 2-hour configuration is, and it does not give the charger's output.
The company also notes that actual range will depend on speed, rider load, temperature, terrain and riding style.
Chassis, suspension, wheels and brakes
The Strada has a 1,370 mm wheelbase, 175 mm ground clearance and a stated kerb weight of 98 kg. The maximum payload is 150 kg, which covers a rider and a pillion.
| Area | Specification |
| Front suspension | 31 mm hydraulic fork |
| Rear suspension | Adjustable hydraulic unit, 300 mm shock length, 75 mm specified travel |
| Wheels | 16-inch front, 14-inch rear |
| Tyres | 100/80-16 front, 110/80-14 rear |
| Front brake | 240 mm disc, three-piston caliper |
| Rear brake | 220 mm disc, two-piston caliper |
| Brake system | CBS (combined braking) |
The 175 mm of ground clearance is on the generous side for a scooter, which should help over speed breakers and broken roads. The brochure lists CBS only and does not mention ABS.
Design and features
The Strada borrows its look from motorcycles more than from typical commuter scooters. Up front, you get sharply cut, layered bodywork, a dual-beam projector LED headlamp with a split LED signature, and slim integrated turn indicators. A tall transparent windscreen with an exposed mounting structure sits above the cowl.
Further back, the scooter has a raised tail, a stepped two-piece seat at a 780 mm seat height, a wide flat floorboard and an integrated luggage rack. The rear suspension is left visible beneath the body panels.
Key features at a glance:
- 5-inch TFT instrument display
- Illuminated ignition with keyless entry
- USB charging with both Type-A and Type-C outputs
- LED tail lamps and indicators
- Removable battery
- Three riding modes (Eco, City, Sport)
The top box shown in some brochure images appears to be an accessory. The brochure does not list it as standard.
Colours
The Strada comes in four colours: Carbonio Black, Titanio Grey, Urbano Silver and Luna White. Each carries red accent graphics and a red panel on the front apron.

Reported but not clearly confirmed:
- The Max price of ₹1,55,500, which appears in launch reports but not in the brochure.
- The charging time, which the brochure gives as both 2 hours and about 6 hours.
Not disclosed in the brochure:
- Warranty terms for the vehicle, battery and motor
- Delivery dates and booking amount
- Whether the Strada is assembled in Kolhapur like the Tennis
- Whether the 98 kg kerb weight includes the batteries
- Whether ABS is offered
Which Strada variant makes sense?
If most of your riding is a daily city commute and you can charge at home every night, the City at ₹1,19,999 covers a claimed 130 km. That is plenty for most urban days even after real-world range falls short of the claim.
If you ride longer distances, carry a pillion often or want fewer charging stops, the Max is the one to look at. It adds 120 km of claimed range for about ₹35,500 more.
Whichever you pick, test the scooter first. Check the seat height, the weight when you move it on the stand, and how the windscreen feels at 65 to 85 km/h.
Evfy's Take
The most interesting number in this launch is not the 250 km claim. It is what the second battery costs.
Moving from City to Max adds 2.16 kWh and 120 km of claimed range for ₹35,501. That works out to roughly ₹16,400 per extra kWh and about ₹296 per extra claimed km (Evfy's own calculation on claimed figures).
| Variant | Price | Claimed IDC range | Price per claimed km | Price per kWh |
| Strada City | ₹1,19,999 | 130 km | about ₹923 | about ₹55,555 |
| Strada Max | ₹1,55,500 | 250 km | about ₹622 | about ₹35,995 |
On these numbers, the Max is clearly the better value per claimed kilometre. The City is the cheaper way in, but the larger pack is where most of the value sits.
Two other points stand out. First, the 98 kg kerb weight looks light for a scooter carrying up to 4.32 kWh of LFP battery, a 4.8 kW hub motor and 16/14-inch wheels. The brochure does not say whether the batteries are included, so treat that figure with caution until it is clarified.
Second, the updated VLF Tennis 1500 claims up to 150 km on the IDC cycle, according to our earlier report. The Strada City's 130 km claim is lower than that. What the Strada adds is a higher top speed, bigger wheels and a more feature-rich package, not more claimed range at the entry level.
