TVS has introduced the Orbiter as its most-affordable electric scooter, carrying an attractive ex-showroom price of Rs 99,900 and has top-tier features.
This makes it one of the rare electric scooters in India that manages to stay under Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) while still offering a premium feel.

| TVS Orbiter is a budget e-scooter giving a premium feel. |
Positioned just below the popular iQube, the Orbiter is designed for city commuters who want reliable daily mobility with modern features but without spending too much.
In many ways, TVS is setting a new standard for budget-friendly EVs with this model.
TVS Orbiter | 158 km range, breaking the Rs 1 lakh barrier
One of the biggest highlights of the TVS Orbiter is its impressive 3.1 kWh battery pack.
With this, the scooter offers a claimed range of 158 km per full charge under Indian driving conditions.
This kind of range at this price point is almost unheard of, making it a direct challenge to both traditional petrol scooters and many premium electric rivals.
For urban riders, who mostly travel within the city, this range ensures that charging becomes an occasional task rather than a daily hassle.
TVS Orbiter is feature-packed
Even though the Orbiter is marketed as an entry-level scooter, TVS has equipped it with a surprising number of advanced features.
The scooter comes with conveniences like cruise control, hill‑hold assist, USB charging, and over‑the‑air updates.
It also has a smart LCD panel that displays call and SMS alerts, navigation prompts, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Riders also get access to telematics functions including geo‑fencing, time‑fencing, crash or fall alerts, and reverse parking assist.
All of this can be managed easily through the TVS Smart Xonnect app, making the Orbiter one of the smartest scooters in its price point.
TVS Orbiter | Comfort meets practicality
The Orbiter has been built keeping comfort and practicality in mind. It features a wide, upright handlebar and a straight-line footboard that allows extra legroom.
The long and flat seat not only makes it comfortable for two riders but also hides a large 34‑litre under‑seat storage area — big enough to fit two helmets.
This makes it perfect for families and professionals who need more than just a stylish design.
To add to its youthful appeal, TVS is offering the Orbiter in six vibrant dual‑tone shades, including Neon Sunburst, Stratos Blue, Lunar Grey, Stellar Silver, Cosmic Titanium, and Martian Copper.
TVS Orbiter | A balanced performance
Performance-wise, the Orbiter is tuned for city riding. It is powered by a hub-mounted BLDC motor that produces around 2.1–2.5 kW, delivering a top speed of 68 km per hour.
The scooter can accelerate to 40 km an hour in just 6.8 seconds, which is more than enough for everyday traffic.
With a kerb weight of just 112 kg, handling is easy even for new riders.
The scooter runs on a 14‑inch front wheel and a 12‑inch rear wheel, and braking is handled by drum brakes with CBS for added safety.
Charging is also convenient — it can go from 0 to 80 per cent in about 4 hours and 10 minutes, making overnight charging a breeze.
