VLF Strada: Design

The VLF Strada features a distinctive design with a tall transparent windscreen, a dual-beam projector LED headlamp and integrated turn indicators. Its bodywork gives it a modern urban-scooter appearance, while the upright riding position aims to support everyday commuting. The scooter gets alloy wheels, a wide seat and a practical rear carrier rack for carrying luggage.

VLF offers the Strada in four colour options: Luna White, Titanio Grey, Urbano Silver and Carbonio Black. Both variants share the same overall design and cycle parts. The scooter uses a 16-inch front wheel and a 14-inch rear wheel, along with a telescopic front fork and dual rear springs.

Its styling combines everyday practicality with modern lighting and digital equipment.

VLF Strada: Powertrain and Range

The VLF Strada uses a hub-mounted BLDC electric motor that produces 4.8kW of peak power and 34Nm of peak torque. Its maximum speed reaches 85kmph in Sport mode. The scooter offers three riding modes: Eco, City and Sport, with respective speed limits of 45kmph, 65kmph and 85kmph.

The Strada City uses one removable 2.16kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and delivers a claimed IDC range of 130km. The Strada Max doubles the battery capacity to 4.32kWh through two removable 2.16kWh units, increasing the claimed range to 250km.

Owners can charge the batteries while they remain fitted or remove them for separate charging.

VLF Strada: Features and Equipment

The VLF Strada gets a 5-inch TFT instrument display that provides riding information. Its feature list includes LED lighting, a reverse function and USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports.

The three riding modes allow riders to select different speed limits according to their commuting needs. The scooter also features keyless entry, while its removable battery arrangement gives owners more flexibility when charging at home or work. A 10A charger comes with the scooter. VLF claims that the City variant takes around three hours to charge fully, while the Max requires approximately six hours.

For braking, both versions use disc brakes at the front and rear with a combined braking system (CBS). The suspension setup includes a telescopic front fork and dual rear springs.
