If sporty street vibes and Italian flair sound like your thing, the VLF Mobster scooter is one to watch. Designed by Alessandro Tartarini and backed by Motohaus India, this aggressive new scooter from Velocifero is finally hitting Indian roads. Launch is expected in August 2025, with two petrol-powered variants and a surprising list of premium tech – rarely seen in this segment.
Design That Turns Heads
The VLF Mobster scooter doesn’t blend in – it stands out. With its exposed handlebar, sharp creases and compact cyberpunk silhouette, this isn’t your typical commuter. Expect 12-inch alloy wheels, a bold front apron and tall windscreen that brings an urban-sporty edge. It’s got attitude and it shows.
You get a low-slung body, a seat designed for rider comfort and a paint job that feels premium, not plasticky. It’s the kind of design you’d expect from a concept – not a production scooter.
Features That Push the Segment
The Mobster brings serious tech game:
- Integrated dashcam (segment-first) to record your rides.
- A 5-inch full-color TFT display with mobile screen mirroring for calls, music and navigation.
- You also get dual-channel ABS that you can switch on or off, giving more control over braking depending on the road or your riding style.
- Key ride info like fuel, trip and notifications all show up in style on the screen.
This is premium hardware packed into a practical shell.
Power, Variants and Performance
Two engine choices:
- The 125cc variant delivers a peppy 12.1 PS of power and 11.7 Nm of torque, making it well-suited for quick urban rides with a claimed top speed around 100 kmph.
- 180cc variant delivers a stronger punch with 17.9 PS and 15.7 Nm, capable of cruising up to 110 kmph without breaking a sweat.
Both are air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engines with automatic transmission, tuned for urban zip and weekend fun. Weighs just 122 kg, the Mobster is agile in traffic yet stable at speed.
Fuel tank? A generous 8L, perfect for longer stints without pit stops.
Expected Pricing and Rivals
- Mobster 125: Around ₹1.4 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Mobster 180: Around ₹1.7 lakh (ex-showroom)
In terms of rivals, the Mobster will compete with a mix of sporty and premium scooters like the Yamaha Aerox 155, Hero Xoom 160, Aprilia SR Storm, and even electric options like the TVS iQube. But what sets it apart is its aggressive styling and segment-first tech that most rivals don’t offer.
Launch, Dealerships and Availability
The VLF Mobster will be assembled locally via KAW Veloce Motors (KVM) in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Availability will be in Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Goa, Kolhapur and Sangli initially and wider rollout post-launch.
