Chennai-based two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has expanded its electric vehicle range with the launch of the TVS Orbiter V1, equipped with a 1.8 kWh battery.

The company also introduced a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership model across its entire electric scooter portfolio. Under this programme, the entry price for the TVS electric range begins at INR 49,999, excluding battery costs. Customers opting to purchase the vehicle with the battery can acquire the Orbiter V1 for INR 84,500.

The TVS Orbiter V1 is intended for urban use, offering a certified range of 86 km. The 1.8 kWh battery reaches an 80 percent charge in approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. The EV features an LED headlamp, a 34-litre under-seat storage area and a flat-form seat. Other features include hill hold assist, cruise control and regenerative braking systems.

The e-scooter incorporates a mobile application and a digital cluster that provides turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts. Security features such as geo-fencing, anti-theft alerts, and crash detection are integrated into the software. The vehicle supports over-the-air (OTA) updates to maintain system performance.

The BaaS model allows users to subscribe to battery usage rather than paying the full cost at the time of purchase. Subscription plans start at INR 862 per month and include a warranty for five years or 70,000 km. This framework is designed to lower the initial purchase price and provide flexibility regarding running costs.

Gaurav Gupta, President – India 2W Business, TVS Motor Company, said, “TVS Motor has built a strong and well-defined EV portfolio, and the launch of TVS Orbiter V1 further strengthens this lineup by introducing the most accessible entry point into our electric scooter range. Alongside this, the introduction of BaaS represents an important shift in customers’ approach to EV ownership. By separating the vehicle price from the battery usage cost, we are enabling greater flexibility while providing customers a clear understanding of the overall cost of ownership.”

Classic Legends, the Mahindra & Mahindra-backed manufacturer of Jawa, Yezdi and BSA motorcycles, has appointed Jayapradeep Vasudevan (JP) to its leadership team. He joins the organisation with around three decades of experience in the automotive industry, focusing on strategic leadership and commercial operations.

Jayapradeep previously served as the President of Kinetic Green’s two-wheeler business, where he managed the sales expansion of the Kinetic E-Luna e-scooter. His career includes nearly three decades in the automobile sector, with a tenure at Royal Enfield during its brand transformation.

For the past three years, he has operated within the electric vehicle (EV) sector, holding roles at Raptee.HV and Kinetic Green. This experience provided insights into consumer expectations and startup operations, which he now brings to the premium motorcycle segment.

In his new role at Classic Legends, Jayapradeep will work with the company’s dealer network and internal teams to scale the presence of its heritage brands. The company operates as a startup entity while managing a portfolio of established motorcycle marques.

“After nearly three decades in the automobile industry, I continue to feel grateful for the journeys that shape both my perspective and purpose. A significant part of my professional journey was with Royal Enfield, where I had the privilege of being part of a remarkable transformation journey with immense learning outcomes. With all the learning and experience of the transformational journey, three years back I stepped into the EV space with Raptee.HV and subsequently Kinetic Green. The experience with these EV startups offered valuable insights into the expectations of the new-generation consumers and helped me adapt to the pace and mindset of the startup ecosystem,” said Jayapradeep.
