5-Inch TFT Fully-Digital Console
The VLF Tennis scooter comes with a fully digital instrument console that uses a 5-inch TFT screen that displays all the essential ride-related stats like the speed, distance traveled, battery indicator, trip meter, mode, and other key info. Notably, this screen also supports smartphone connectivity that takes the convenience to a level above.
Competitors With Same Features: Its main rivals, the Ola S1 Air and the TVS iQube, both offer a 7-inch fully digital console.
Keyless Entry
This is something that the buyers will like to flaunt as the VLF Tennis comes with a smart key fob. Something like the one you have with the cars, this key fob performs tasks such as lock/unlock and a couple more. This is something that you might remember witnessing with the Honda Activa's top-spec H-Smart variant.
Competitors With Same Features: Ola S1 Air comes with a digital key while the TVS iQube gets a traditional flip key.
LED Headlamp And Tail Lamp
Another notable feature has to be the LED lighting all around, both for the headlamp and the tail lights. This is again something that is now being a new common in the segment and with the latest automobiles in general due to their energy-efficient nature.
Competitors With Same Features: Both the Ola and the TVS counterparts come with LED lighting.
Disc Brakes At Both Ends
Efficiently handling the braking affairs, the Tennis EV comes with disc brakes at both ends, which is a commendable move as the rivals still shy away from offering the complete package. This would make it safer for that emergency situations that need sudden braking.
Competitors With Same Features: While the Ola S1 Air misses out on the disc brakes altogether, the TVS iQube gets front disc brake only.

Verdict
The VLF Tennis enters the electric two-wheeler segment, aiming to establish the VLF brand in India with some intersting features. While its design and features are impressive, the limited top speed of 65 kmph, resulting from its 2.85 PS power output, might put-off the throttle loving section of buyers, but given everytihng that it offers and the segment that it targets, there isn't much to complain.
