VinFast has filed a design patent for its Rasad electric scooter in India ahead of the model's global unveiling. The premium maxi-scooter pairs a mid-mounted 7.1kW motor with a 100km/h top speed, while Vietnam has passed 1 million electric scooters produced and EV penetration in India's two-wheeler market has reached double digits.

Electric scooters always leave me split between hope and a little sadness. VinFast's Rasad packs a mid-mounted 7.1kW motor good for 100km/h, so it could actually hold its own on Asian streets. Filing the design patent in India before the global reveal shows they're serious about this one.

Wonder if it has under-seat storage—I'd love to use it for commuting.

Depending on price this could become everyday transport, especially in India.

Honda and Yamaha can't afford to get comfortable with a lineup like this coming.

It's just a design patent so far, no launch date yet. Feels a bit premature to hype.

7.1kW and 100km/h puts it roughly in NMAX-class territory on paper.

Double-digit adoption already—India's really catching the EV scooter fever.

Back in my day gas engines were just the default. Times sure have changed.
