## Born from the Vision of a Vietnamese Engineer in Silicon Valley

Dat Bike is a **Vietnamese electric motorbike manufacturer**, founded in **2019** by **Nguyen Ba Canh Son**, a talented software engineer who won multiple national and international awards in technology.

Son observed that motorbikes are deeply tied to Vietnamese life. However, the overwhelming number of gasoline motorbikes has severely polluted the air. He realized that if the market offered **electric bikes** with performance comparable to gasoline ones, people could maintain their mobility needs while embracing a **modern, sustainable lifestyle**.

At the time, most electric bikes on the market had low power and speed, insufficient for daily use in Vietnam. During his years in the U.S., Son noticed that while **Tesla** had already proven the success of electric cars, most electric motorbike startups failed after their first funding round, not because of technology, but because there was **no real market**. Meanwhile, **Vietnam and Southeast Asia** were prime territories, where nearly **100% of two-wheelers still used fossil fuel**.

Recognizing the opportunity to merge **market potential** and **technological capability** to create social value, Son decided to return home. He left behind his dream job in Silicon Valley to **pioneer the green transportation movement** in Vietnam and the region.

Thus, **Dat Bike** was born a brand with the mission to create **electric bikes designed and built by Vietnamese engineers**, enabling users to switch from gasoline to electric without compromising on performance or speed.

According to Son, Vietnam’s ecosystem is as promising as any global market: with nearly **100 million people**, an underdeveloped EV sector, and a global EV industry projected to reach **USD 60 billion by 2025**, this is a golden opportunity Vietnam must not miss.

Dat Bike acknowledges both the pros and cons of transitioning from gasoline to electric motorbikes. By focusing on **performance, range, and charging time**, the company aims to **break the stereotypes** surrounding electric vehicles and deliver a superior user experience.

### Technology and Product Breakthroughs

Within a year of returning to Vietnam, Son introduced **Dat Bike Weaver**, the company’s first model. Weaver became the **first “Made in Vietnam” electric motorbike** certified by the Ministry of Transport with **performance and speed comparable to gasoline bikes**.

In **September 2019**, Son presented Dat Bike on **Shark Tank Vietnam**, where he received valuable feedback from investors. From there, Dat Bike entered a rapid growth phase — achieving **4,000% revenue growth** and increasing **monthly sales volume by 35%**.

Dat Bike’s latest model, the **Quantum S**, represents a new symbol of Vietnamese electric power:

- Up to **285 km per full charge** — the longest range in its class.
- Fully charged in **just 4 hours**, **10x cheaper** than refueling a gasoline bike.
- A **41L trunk**, the largest on the market, with a **modern and powerful design**.

Quantum S is not just a mode of transportation — it’s a statement of **modern, sustainable living** for the Vietnamese people.

### Accelerating with USD 47 Million in Funding

In **October 2025**, Dat Bike successfully raised **USD 22 million in its Series B round**, bringing total investment to **USD 47 million**, more than double previous funding.

The round was led by **F.C.C** and **Rebright Partners**, with continued participation from long-term backers **Jungle Ventures**, **Cathay Venture**, and **AiViet Venture**.

The new capital enables Dat Bike to:

- **Expand its store and care hub network** across multiple provinces.
- **Invest heavily in R&D** for smarter, next-generation electric bikes.
- **Accelerate the “one new store per week” mission**, bringing EVs closer to every Vietnamese rider.

### Vision and Mission

Dat Bike aims to become the **leading Vietnamese electric motorbike brand in Southeast Asia**, driving the shift away from gasoline and toward a **clean, emission-free future**.

The company is dedicated to producing **high-performance, eco-friendly bikes** supported by a **complete service ecosystem** — from manufacturing and distribution to after-sales care.

### **The Future of Green Mobility in Vietnam**

Dat Bike believes Vietnam — with nearly **100 million people** and **an almost entirely gasoline-powered motorbike fleet** — stands at the threshold of a major transformation.

Through **technology, rapid expansion, and a pioneering spirit**, Dat Bike is building a **greener transportation future** for Vietnam — one where riders can take pride in owning an **electric bike engineered by Vietnamese minds**.
