TVS Orbiter Electric Scooter Launched in India at Rs 99,900

TVS Motor Company has finally added a new product to its electric scooter range in India, which, until now, only included the iQube and the sportier X. The new electric scooter is called the Orbiter, and judging by its design, we can say that TVS has targeted the practical needs of daily commuters with its new EV. The Orbiter carries a starting price tag of Rs 99,900 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru, including PM E-Drive subsidy). It is available in six colours (Lunar Grey, Stellar Silver, Stratos Blue, Cosmic Titanium, Neon Sunburst, and Martian Copper) and a single battery option. The new TVS Orbiter competes against the established market players, including the Ather Rizta. Its focus on simplicity, practicality, and affordability makes it an ideal option for cost-conscious buyers, first-time EV customers, and urban commuters. 

TVS Orbiter: Design and Features

Typical of a practical EV, the Orbiter follows a no-frills approach. The design is straightforward, targeting first-time EV buyers and daily city commuters. The floorboard is flat (290mm), and the seat is 845mm long, and upright. There are some elements borrowed from the premium iQube EV, such as a full-width LED DRL. The LED headlamp and upright handlebars are also available.
