Chennai-based two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has upped its game in the Indian electric vehicle space by launching the Orbiter e-scooter at prices starting INR 99,000 (ex-showroom Bengaluru and Delhi).

Rahul Irlapale, Senior Manager – Design, TVS Motor Co, shared that the TVS Orbiter showcases a bold intersection of modern technology, innovative design and sustainability.

From the front, the TVS Orbiter looks attractive with a visor, edge-to-edge combination lights that feature integrated indicators and front LED lamps. A coloured digital LCD cluster helps view different vehicle parameters, such as distance to empty (TVS calls it Reliable distance to empty), battery charge, drive mode and more. Customers can charge their mobile phones using a USB 2.0 port at the front.

Modern safety features such as hill hold assist and cruise control are available, along with other useful updates, such as geo-fencing alert, crash & fall SOS call, vehicle health status and time fencing alert using the TVS Connect app.

The TVS Orbiter is capable of delivering an IDC-certified range of 158 kilometres using a 3.1 kWh battery. A 34-litre boot space ensures that two helmets, along with a few other items, can be kept in the boot space. The 14-inch front wheel, installed for better stability and comfort on rough roads, is an industry-first move. Along with the wheel, a 290 mm straight-line footboard, a 165 mm ground clearance and an 845 mm long seat also enhance comfort.  

Gaurav Gupta, President, India 2W Business, TVS Motor Company, said, “Leveraging our engineering expertise and advanced capabilities, we are building products that set global benchmarks in quality, performance and safety. With TVS Orbiter, we are expanding our EV ecosystem and accelerating the adoption of electric mobility in India.”

TVS Orbiter is available in a palette of colours – Neon Sunburst, Stratos Blue, Lunar Grey, Stellar Silver, Cosmic Titanium and Martian Copper.

Aniruddha Haldar, Senior Vice-President – Head Commuter & EV Business and Head Corporate Brand & Media, TVS Motor Company, said, “We are committed to consolidating our leadership in the EV space, driving India’s electric mobility journey with a strong foundation of trust and innovation. Guided by the evolving needs of our customers, the TVS Orbiter represents our next step in redefining urban commuting.”
