Overview

  • Independent first rides describe the Orbiter as a practical, city-focused addition below the iQube in TVS’s EV lineup.
  • TVS claims 158 km IDC range, with reviewers and the company guiding buyers to about 100–115 km in real-world use.
  • The scooter uses a 2.5 kW hub motor and 3.1 kWh battery, does 0–40 km/h in 6.8 seconds, and caps speed at 68 km/h in City mode and about 46 km/h in Eco.
  • Feature highlights include a 34-litre underseat bay, a 5.5-inch Bluetooth-enabled LCD with navigation, hill-hold, cruise control, and reverse assist.
  • Reviewers praise everyday usability but flag drum brakes at both ends—even with synchronised braking—as a notable step down from rivals offering front discs.
