Verdict
The VLF Tennis doesn't justify its Rs 1.30 lakh price, as its range is unimpressive, and its top speed is limited to 65 km/h. Additionally, its 5-inch TFT screen is not as user-friendly or compatible as the screens on the Ather or Ola, which is another drawback. Furthermore, TVS and Ola are known for their under-seat storage space and large, comfortable seats, which doesn't seem to be the case with the Tennis, as it appears quite narrow and slim. So, it remains to be seen whether it will attract customers and make a name for itself in the two-wheeler segment. Let's wait and see.
