The Orbiter, TVS Motor’s newest electric scooter, has been introduced to the Indian market. The brand’s newest model, which joins the iQube in the portfolio, starts at Rs 99,900 (ex-showroom). In the Indian market, it directly competes with the Ather Rizta and is comparatively less expensive. In terms of look, the TVS Orbiter and the iQube have very different design languages. It has no shapes or curves and follows a simple pattern. Neon Sunburst, Stratos Blue, Lunar Grey, Stellar Silver, Cosmic Titanium, and Martian Copper are the six color options that match the scooter’s very straightforward design. The DRL is integrated into the front apron, and the headlight cluster is positioned high.
According to the brand, the EV also has a flat seat design for the 845 mm seat, which is intended to provide a comfortable sitting position. This gives the electric scooter, which rides on 14-inch wheels, 169 mm of ground clearance. It has 34 liters of underseat storage for convenience. Additionally, there is a 290 mm gap on the flat footboard. In terms of characteristics, the TVS Orbiter has a multi-color instrument cluster that shows the key data. Additionally, it provides access to a number of functions, such as OTA updates, theft alarm, turn-by-turn navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity. Cruise control is one of the segment-first innovations that the brand claims to have implemented. Among other features, the list includes autonomous hill hold assistance and reverse parking. With a 3.1 kWh battery pack, the TVS Orbiter is said to have a 158 km range on a single charge. This is greater than the iQube’s most economical model, which uses a 2.2 kWh battery pack to travel 94 km. On the iQube, the 3.1 kWh battery pack version costs Rs 1.08 lakh (ex-showroom) and has a 123 km range.
