The electric two-wheeler market has gained a new contender: the TVS Orbiter. Positioned below the iQube, the Orbiter boasts innovative features and a notable range. The scooter incorporates an IP67-certified traction motor and battery. Its design is unconventional, featuring a flat floor for comfort and an extended seat. The Orbiter provides features like live location tracking, anti-theft towing alerts, updates on charging stations, and vehicle health status. A motor cut-off system enhances safety in case of a fall. With a 3.1 kWh battery pack, the Orbiter offers a range of 158 km on a single charge and charges in approximately 4.1 hours. It is priced at ₹99,000 (ex-showroom, Bangalore) and is available for booking on TVS’s official website. The competing Honda Activa E features a 6kW axle-mounted PMSM motor and two swappable 3kWh batteries. The Suzuki E Access and Bajaj Chetak also compete in this segment.
