TVS Motor Company is excited to introduce its latest electric scooter, the TVS Orbiter. The brand is making a friendly and strategic entry into India’s budget EV space. With a price of just ₹99,900 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru & Delhi, including applicable subsidies), the Orbiter stands out as the most approachable and affordable option in TVS’s EV lineup. It sits right below the popular iQube series.
Range & Performance
A highlight of the Orbiter is its impressive IDC-certified range of 158 km on a single full charge. This lets you travel farther with confidence. The 3.1 kWh battery pack, paired with regenerative braking, helps you get the most from every ride. While top speed figures aren’t always front and center, third-party sources suggest it can reach up to about 82 km/h. This is perfect for everyday city adventures.
Specifications & Features
The Orbiter is designed with commuter practicality in mind. It has a minimalist, flat-body design. A central slim LED DRL strip and oval LED headlamp give it a familiar yet modern look. The scooter also flaunts:
A 34-litre under-seat storage compartment, spacious enough for two helmets, complete with a USB charging port.
A digital cluster, connected to the TVS SmartXonnect app, offering geo-fencing, safety alerts, call/SMS notifications, navigation, and OTA updates.
A host of rider-friendly aids: cruise control, hill-hold assist, reverse mode, parking assist, fall-triggered motor cut-off, theft alerts, tow-detection, and fall detection.
Sturdy underpinnings like telescopic front forks, dual rear shocks, 14-inch front alloy wheel, 12-inch rear alloy wheel, and front disc with rear drum brakes.

With its sub-₹1 lakh price tag, the Orbiter undercuts many premium rivals while offering a richer feature set. TVS seems to aim this model squarely at first-time EV buyers and budget-conscious urban commuters, offering utility, technology, and performance in one value proposition.
Final Verdict
The TVS Orbiter emerges as a compelling package: a reliable range, smart tech, useful features, and comfort—all wrapped in a city-friendly design and aggressive price. It shows TVS Motor Company’s commitment to broadening electric mobility access in India by addressing the burgeoning demand for affordable yet dependable EVs. For buyers looking to make their first foray into EVs without compromising on convenience or safety, the Orbiter might just be the perfect launchpad.
