VLF India has introduced an enhanced version of its top-of-the-line electric scooter, the Tennis 1500, with a raft of feature upgrades and two new colour choices. The upgraded model sticks to its original ex-showroom price of ₹1.30 lakh, posing an interesting option for city EV buyers.
What has changed?
In an attempt to revamp the lineup, VLF has added Slate Blue and Ebony Black, which are added to the already available Fire Fury Dark Red and Snowflake White color options. With the cosmetic enhancements, the IDC range of the scooter has also been increased to 150 km on a single charge, an increase of 20 km from the previous model. This larger range means riders can travel greater distances with fewer charging stops, making it more convenient for daily commutes.

All models of the improved Tennis 1500 get to include a charging port on the go, allowing riders to have devices charged on the move. The scooter also gets to be treated with a state-of-the-art LMFP battery with an aluminium shell that enhances heat resistance and overall safety for the battery.
Design
Conceived by an Italian car designer, Alessandro Tartarini, the VLF Tennis 1500 has fast gained popularity among the Gen Z crowd and young urban commuters due to its streamlined European design and lightweight build. The scooter uses a high-tensile tubular steel frame and boasts 12-inch tyres, telescopic front forks, and a rear mono-shock suspension unit with a progressive cantilever layout. Braking is provided by disc brakes with CBS (Combined Braking System) to enhance peace of mind.
