The VLF Tennis 1500W electric scooter has finally been launched in India and it will be available at a starting price of ₹1.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Earlier this year, Italian electric two-wheeler brand Velocifero (VLF) announced its entry into the Indian auto market. The brand is partnering with KAW Veloce Motors Pvt. Ltd., which is going to look after the manufacturing and distribution of VLF products starting with the Tennis 1500W. 

The VLF Tennis is globally available in two variants, but the Indian markets will receive the 1500W variant. The e-scooter will be manufactured locally at a plant in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. VLF is now the second Italian two-wheeler brand to manufacture its products in India, with Aprilia having a manufacturing facility in Baramati. 

With the aim of building an extensive network in India, VLF had earlier stated that it plans to establish 15 dealerships across tier-1 and tier-2 cities. The press release further stated that the company wishes to expand to 50 dealerships by the end of the fiscal year.
