TVS Motor has rolled out its latest electric scooter in India, calling it the TVS Orbiter—a sleek ride that hums softly as it starts. Starting at Rs 99,900 (ex-showroom), it slots into the brand’s lineup beside the iQube yet undercuts it, making it the more budget-friendly choice. The Orbiter will go head-to-head with models like the Vida VX2, as well as the starter versions of the Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1.
In terms of styling, the TVS Orbiter charts a new course, ditching the iQube’s boxy silhouette for something more refined. It’s got a sleek, pared-down style with crisp straight lines instead of curves, a smooth dual-tone finish, and six colors to choose from. The headlamp unit sits high, and the DRL tucks neatly into the front apron like a thin strip of light.
This scooter’s built for comfort, with a flat seat that lets you settle in and ride easily. It clears the ground by 165 mm and rides on sturdy 14-inch wheels that grip the road. The Orbiter packs in 34 litres of storage under the seat, enough to tuck away a helmet or a small bag.
As for features, the TVS Orbiter packs a multi-colour instrument cluster that displays all the key ride details, from speed to charge, in sharp, clear tones. It comes with modern features, from Bluetooth for quick pairing to turn-by-turn navigation that guides you at every turn, plus theft alerts and over-the-air updates. TVS has added a few segment-first features, such as cruise control, along with handy touches like reverse parking and automatic hill-hold that keeps you steady on a slope. With a claimed 158 km range on one charge, the Orbiter easily outpaces the base iQube, which manages 94 km using a 2.2 kWh battery.
