VLF Tennis 1500 Gets Massive Price Cut in India
VLF India has announced a significant price reduction for its electric scooter, the VLF Tennis 1500, making it far more accessible to Indian buyers. The scooter, earlier priced at ₹1,29,999, now retails at ₹99,999 (ex-showroom), undercutting several rivals while still retaining its premium appeal.
Sold in India through MotoHaus, this revised pricing strategy clearly aims to widen the brand’s footprint without compromising on design or features.
Battery, Range, and Performance
The VLF Tennis 1500 is powered by a removable 2.5–2.6 kWh lithium-ion LMFP battery, housed in an aluminium casing for improved heat resistance and enhanced safety.
Key performance figures include:
- IDC-claimed range: up to 150 km
- Charging time (0–100%): around 3 hours
- Top speed: 65 kmph
- Max power: 2.1 kW
- Peak torque: 150 Nm
With three riding modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport, the scooter feels well-suited to everyday Indian riding conditions, especially urban commutes.
Ride Quality and Hardware
One of the standout aspects of the VLF Tennis is its focus on ride comfort and stability. It features a hydraulic monoshock with progressive cantilever suspension, paired with telescopic front forks, which should help tackle uneven city roads with ease.
Other notable cycle parts include:
- High-tensile tubular steel frame
- Aluminium swingarm
- 12-inch alloy wheels
- Tubeless tyres: 100/80 (front) and 110/80 (rear)
- Disc brakes at both ends with CBS
With a kerb weight of just 88 kg, the scooter should feel light and manageable for most riders.
Design and Features
Designed by renowned Italian automotive designer Alessandro Tartarini, the Tennis 1500 carries a clean European aesthetic that has resonated particularly well with Gen-Z riders and young professionals.
Feature highlights include:
- 5-inch TFT digital instrument console
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Keyless start and start/stop button
- USB/mobile charging port
- Projector LED headlamp and full-LED lighting
- 18-litre under-seat storage
In terms of dimensions, the scooter measures 1900 mm x 670 mm x 1100 mm, with a wheelbase of 1238 mm, seat height of 780 mm, and ground clearance of 140 mm, making it practical for daily use.
Colours and Availability
The VLF Tennis 1500 is available in five colour options:
- Snowflake White
- Ebony Black
- Fire Fury Dark Red
- Slate Blue
- Slate Grey
It is currently on sale across 15 MotoHaus dealerships in India, with more showrooms expected to open in the coming months.
Verdict
With this aggressive price cut, the VLF Tennis 1500 at ₹99,999 suddenly becomes a very compelling premium electric scooter. In my opinion, the combination of Italian design, solid range, lightweight construction, and a long feature list makes it a strong alternative to more mainstream EVs in this price bracket.
