Motohaus, the official distributor of VLF scooters, will be launching the new Mobster scooter in India tomorrow, September 25, 2025. This will be VLF’s first internal combustion engine (ICE) scooter, after the Tennis electric scooter that’s currently on sale. The VLF Mobster is a sporty offering, promising sharp styling, peppy performance, and a host of features, including a dashcam.
VLF Mobster: Styling
The VLF Mobster has been designed by renowned Italian designer Alessandro Tartarini, and the scooter takes inspiration from a host of streetfighter motorcycles. The front sports twin LED headlamps with DRLs, a tall flyscreen, and an exposed handlebar. The side panels are sharply designed exposing the engine, while the seat appears compact. The Mobster is expected to arrive in two colour options: red and grey. The model rides on 12-inch alloys with a 120-section tyre at the front and a 130-section tyre at the rear.
Key Features and Technology
The Mobster is designed for sporty appeal, boasting aggressive styling and pronounced body panels.
Segment-first features include a factory-fitted dashcam, 5-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity and navigation, dual-channel switchable ABS, USB charging port, and mobile screen mirroring.
Both engine options feature liquid cooling, digital instrument cluster, and LED lighting throughout.

Market Position and Competitors
The Mobster 125 will compete with Aprilia SR 160, Suzuki Burgman, Yamaha Aerox 155, and TVS NTorq 125.
