CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, PHILIPPINES — Northern Mindanao is about to witness a massive paradigm shift in urban commuting. VinFast, the rapidly expanding global electric vehicle (EV) giant from Vietnam, is officially marking its territory in the City of Golden Friendship.
On July 28, 2026, the brand will celebrate the grand opening of its flagship e-motorcycle showroom in Iponan, Cagayan de Oro City. Pioneering a highly disruptive "Swap & Go" battery infrastructure, VinFast is not just introducing a new fleet of E-Motorcycles—it is entirely rewriting the rules of sustainable transportation for everyday Kagay-anons.
The highly anticipated launch is spearheaded by its official local dealer, Multibikes Corporation, a name backed by decades of absolute automotive trust and operational excellence in the region.
The "Swap & Go" Game Changer
For years, the adoption of electric vehicles has been slowed down by high upfront costs and "range anxiety"—the fear of running out of power with nowhere to plug in. VinFast completely demolishes these barriers by decoupling the vehicle's price tag from the cost of the battery through a flexible ownership ecosystem.
How the Battery Subscription and Swapping Works:
Instead of purchasing expensive lithium-ion packs upfront, riders can choose a Battery Subscription Model. This drops the initial purchase price of the e-motorcycle significantly.
Affordable Subscriptions: Owners pay a flat monthly rate of ₱439 per battery. Each motorcycle comes designed with two under-seat compartments, holding up to two 1.5 kWh LFP batteries.
Instant Power Swaps: When the battery runs low, riders don't have to wait hours to charge. They simply roll up to any authorized VinFast swap station—deployed via global infrastructure partner V-Green—and exchange their depleted battery for a 100% fully charged pack in under two minutes.
Unmatched Value: Each physical battery swap costs a mere ₱35 per battery.
Lifetime Peace of Mind: Because the batteries are rented, VinFast handles all battery degradation. If a battery's health drops below optimal performance levels, it is replaced absolutely free of charge—permanently eliminating the worry of expensive battery replacements down the line.
Home Charging Included: For added convenience, both battery subscribers and outright buyers receive a standard 400W home charger, allowing them to top up their vehicles overnight using a standard wall outlet.
The Launch Fleet: Meet the E-Motorcycles Built for CDO Roads
Engineered to withstand the rugged realities of Southeast Asian roads, the entire VinFast lineup features heavy-duty, high-strength steel frames built to rigorous Japanese standards. More importantly for local riders facing CDO's unpredictable weather, the electric motors and controllers boast an IP67 waterproof rating, capable of easily navigating flooded urban streets up to 0.5 meters deep.
All three models are driven by a robust, high-performance 5,200W BLDC in-wheel motor, offering distinct styles for every type of commuter:
1. VinFast Evo (The Trendy Urbanite)
Minimalist, lightweight, and incredibly European in style, the Evo is optimized for students, daily office commuters, and nimble city lane-splitting.
Top Speed: 80 km/h
Max Range: Up to 150 km (using two batteries under standard conditions)
2. VinFast Feliz II (The Practical Workhorse)
A modern, sleek scooter designed with an upright, comfortable riding posture and advanced suspension tuned heavily for comfort. It strikes the perfect balance for delivery professionals and riders spending hours on the road.
Top Speed: 90 km/h
Max Range: Up to 150 km (with dual batteries)
3. VinFast Viper (The Sporty Edge)
An aggressive, tech-loaded performance e-motorcycle featuring dual rear shock absorbers with external reservoirs, a digital smart display, integrated GPS vehicle tracking, and razor-sharp acceleration.
Top Speed: 90 km/h
Max Range: Up to 150 km (with dual batteries)
