Most electric scooters in India force a trade-off: long range or low-price tag, sleek design or enough under-seat storage, affordability or long-term durability. TVS Orbiter is designed to eliminate these trade-offs.
It delivers an IDC range of 158* km (on a 3.1 kWh battery), a 34L under-seat storage space for dual full-face (60 size) helmets, while 600 safety validation tests by TVS ensure long-term durability.
Segment First:What Makes TVS Orbiter Different?
TVS Orbiter is among the most feature-loaded electric scooters in the sub-1 lakh INR category; it hosts a range of segment-first features that leave the competition far behind.
- 14-Inch Front Wheel
The big 90/80 14-inch front wheels, paired with 90/90 12-inch rear wheels, offer a planted ride quality and significantly improve the straight-line stability over smaller wheels.
- 34-litre Under-seat Storage Space
With this massive under-seat storage space, riders can easily store dual full-face 60-size helmets, groceries, a shopping bag, or other essentials.
- Cruise Control
TVS Orbiter is among the few in this category to offer cruise control. It helps the rider maintain a steady pace, reduce wrist fatigue, and deliver its claimed range as the system optimises power delivery.
- SmartXonnect
A 5.5-inch daylight-readable console features turn-by-turn navigation, call & SMS alerts, phone charge status and other crucial notifications. This level of connectivity is available only on a few affordable electric scooters, TVS Orbiter being one of them.
- Hill Hold Assist
On an incline or descent, the rider just needs to apply the brakes for 1.5 seconds to activate the hill hold assist feature. Once activated, the scooter holds its ground without requiring continuous manual brake pressure.
