India, the world’s largest market for two-wheelers, offers a vast array of options, from affordable scooters to performance-driven and premium models. To tap into this thriving market, VLF is expanding its lineup with the highly anticipated Mobster scooter launch, set for late 2025.
VLF Mobster Scooter Overview
Following the successful launch of the VLF Tennis electric scooter in India, the Italian brand Velocifero is stepping into the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) scooter segment with the VLF Mobster. This marks a significant milestone for Velocifero as its first ICE scooter in the Indian market. The Mobster will be locally assembled in collaboration with KAW Veloce Motors (KVM) at their Kolhapur facility.
Motohaus, the operational arm of KVM, has confirmed the launch, promising a scooter that stands out with an aggressive, futuristic design unlike anything currently available in India. The VLF Mobster’s muscular and rugged design language, inspired by a Cyberpunk aesthetic, is set to be its defining feature.
