TVS Orbiter EV – The TVS Orbiter EV is becoming one of the most underrated electric scooters in India, often getting less attention because of the enormous popularity of the TVS iQube. Nevertheless, the Orbiter EV shows strong value-for-money, especially when juxtaposed with traditional ICE scooters like the Honda Activa. The EV’s contemporary styling, flexible ergonomics, state-of-the-art technology, safety features, and price that won’t break the bank position it as an attractive option for daily urban commutes.
Design
The TVS Orbiter EV design is a combination of sleekness and modernity, flaunting a straight-line, new-age style that is not only eye-catching but also provides a natural and welcoming riding position. It draws in younger riders the most who go for sporty looks but at the same time want a balance of practical use. The scooter also comes in a variety of lively colors, which add to its visual identity and give riders the chance to pick a hue that best matches their character.
Ergonomics
The Orbiter EV has been ergonomically designed to provide comfort and convenience to the user. It has a big windscreen that aids in aerodynamics, a roomy 34-litre under the seat storage compartment, a long and flat seat, and a straight-line footboard. The upright handlebars and well-thought-out ground clearance and seat height make it possible for riders of all sizes to enjoy a comfortable ride. The scooter’s kerb weight of only 112 kg contributes to its overall lightness and diminishes the effort required to manage it, thus making the process of traveling through cities and finding a parking spot not at all hectic.
Technology
The TVS Orbiter EV is a major technological marvel with a full set of features that by far improve the whole riding experience. Among them are cruise control, hill-hold assist, reverse parking assist, a coloured LCD display, USB charging port, and very bright LED headlights plus eco and city riding modes. Apart from these, turning on and off navigation, a call and message alerts, and live location tracking have been added, so the scooter is still a good place for tech-savvy riders.
Safety
The Orbiter EV has a great advantage in the safety area. Designed with a very strong steel tube chassis, the telescopic forks in front, dual shock absorbers, drums at the rear and a pair of 14-inch alloy wheels with an SBS braking system all contribute to the scooter being very stable and easy to ride. It also comes with a high-tech safety feature like an anti-theft alert, geo-fencing, tow alert, crash and fall alerts, and an IP67-rated battery making it water and dust-resistant, so the riders can surely ride without fear during their daily commutes.
Engine
The powertrain features a 2.5 kW BLDC motor and a 3.1 kWh battery, giving a maximum range of up to 158 km on a single charge. There’s also a 3-year or 50,000 km battery warranty, which is more than enough for ordinary city travel. It might not be the most powerful EV in India, but still, the combination of efficiency, adequate range, and smoothness makes it suitable for urban daily travels.
Price
The last but not the least point, the TVS Orbiter EV presents itself as a winner for its unbeatable value pricing. This Rs. 99,900 (ex-showroom) price tag not only makes it affordable but also gives you a whole package with modern styling, advanced features, solid performance, safety, and convenience as benefits included in the deal.
