Expected to be named Orbiter, the all-new electric scooter from TVS will be launched on 28th August
TVS Motor Company is all set to introduce a new product in the Indian market. The Indian two-wheeler manufacturer recently shared a teaser, revealing the launch timeline of the upcoming model, with the caption ‘get ready for an electrifying ride’.
Scheduled to go on sale on August 28, the new electric scooter could be dubbed the ‘Orbiter’, as a large O letter can be seen in the background of the teaser image. The new ‘Orbiter’ name was also trademarked by TVS last year in India, further confirming that the upcoming EV could use this nameplate.
The company registered a design patent for a new electric scooter for the Indonesian market in June this year. According to media reports, the same e-scooter that will be launched in India; however, nothing can be confirmed as of now. The two-wheeler in the patent images features a futuristic design language with a sleek stance.

It gets a beefy front profile with a tall windscreen, conventional headlamp position and horizontal LED DRL with integrated turn indicators. We can further spot a flat floorboard, sleek body panels, split grab rails and a set of conventional telescopic forks at the front. We could possibly see these design elements in the new electric scooter.
If the latest speculations are something to go by, the new TVS e-scooter could get a mid-mounted electric motor, as opposed to the commonly used hub-mounted setups. The advantage of a mid-mounted electric motor includes a quieter ride, efficient performance and a better weight distribution.

While further details on the upcoming two-wheeler are awaited, we expect it to be the new entry-level model in the TVS electric scooter line-up. The current base-spec iQube is priced around Rs. 1 lakh. This means that the new model could be priced below Rs. 1 lakh. This will put ‘Orbiter’ in the same bracket as the lower variants of the Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1X.
The new electric scooter will help TVS to strengthen its presence in the electric scooter segment, along with diversifying the options for customers. With the electric vehicle market expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, this is a step in the right direction.
