Intro

TVS has dropped a bomb in the EV space with the Orbiter – priced at just ₹99,900. This new electric scooter is a stylish and practical challenger to established rivals like the Ola S1 X and Bajaj Chetak, combining futuristic looks with everyday usability. If you’ve been waiting for an affordable electric scooter that doesn’t compromise on features, this one’s worth a look.

Design That Turns Heads

Futuristic design is the Orbiter’s strongest suit. Up front, you get an LED DRL strip wrapping around the apron, a sleek headlamp and a short windscreen. The sharp, aerodynamic panels not only look good but also improve efficiency. TVS is offering six colours, from Neon Sunburst to Martian Copper, so you have plenty of options to choose from.

Features You’ll Actually Use

Step into the Orbiter and practicality greets you first. There’s a 34-litre under-seat storage big enough for two helmets – a segment first. The flat, long seat is comfortable even on longer commutes, while the LCD cluster keeps you updated on calls, texts and alerts. Extras like cruise control, hill-hold assist, parking assist, USB charging and regenerative braking are a bonus at this price.

Range and Everyday Performance

Powered by a 3.1 kWh battery, the TVS Orbiter has a claimed 158 km IDC range. That’s more than enough for city runs and even weekend errands. The 2.5 kW motor goes up to 68 km/h – not fast but perfect for city traffic. Two ride modes – Eco and Power – let you choose between efficiency and a sportier throttle.

Ride and Safety Confidence

A 14-inch front wheel and 12-inch rear ensures stability on city roads. Suspension is handled by a telescopic fork and twin shocks, tuned for comfort. Safety features include CBS braking, anti-theft system, crash alerts and geo-fencing, all packed into its 112 kg kerb weight and 169 mm ground clearance body.

Price That Changes the Game

The TVS Orbiter’s price point is a major differentiator. At ₹99,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi and Bengaluru with subsidies), it is more affordable than many of its rivals, positioning it as a serious competitor to the Ola S1 X, Bajaj Chetak Urbane, Hero Vida V1, and Ather Rizta. This aggressive pricing, combined with its feature set, is expected to shake up the entry-level EV segment.

Conclusion

The TVS Orbiter isn’t trying to be the fastest or the flashiest EV – it’s practical, stylish and priced right. If you want to enter the electric scooter world without breaking the bank, the Orbiter is now one of the smartest options in town.
