Entry-Level EV That Doesn’t Feel Basic
At ₹99,900, the TVS Orbiter emerges as the brand’s most affordable electric scooter — positioned right below the iQube in the electric two-wheeler lineup. Designed as a straightforward, single-variant model, it’s TVS’s answer to riders seeking simplicity without compromise.
Battery & Range That Impress
Powered by a 3.1 kWh battery, the Orbiter offers a claimed IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range of 158 km — a stark jump from the 94 km rating of the iQube’s base model. Real-world testing suggests riders can expect around 120 km per charge in Eco mode.
Tech-Savvy Features as Standard
True to current trends, Orbiter comes equipped with:
- Cruise control (segment-first)

- OTA updates, geo-fencing, anti-theft and crash alerts
- USB charging port and turn-by-turn navigation
Bigger Wheels, Better Stability
The Orbiter sports a 14-inch front wheel and a 12-inch rear — a notable upgrade that enhances road stability and gives it a sharper presence.
Functional & Boxy in a Trendy Way
Its minimalist, block-style design is functional yet appealing—highlighted by a handlebar-mounted LED headlamp, a distinctive LED DRL across the apron, and a clean, single-piece side panel for a strong visual identity.
Practicality Built In
- Storage: A roomy 34 L under-seat compartment (room for two helmets)
- Comfort: A long 290 mm flat footboard ensures comfort even with luggage
- Ground Clearance: A practical 169 mm setup ideal for urban terrain
Planned for the Everyday
The Orbiter’s basic drum brakes (front and rear) with CBS and a lightweight kerb weight of 112 kg make it agile in traffic. Its gearing towards the everyday rider is further emphasized by clear variant simplicity and affordability.
Why It Matters
The TVS Orbiter lands as a compelling blend of affordability, functionality, and modern connected features. It offers real appeal for riders eyeing a dependable, user-first EV — perfect for daily use with a tech edge.
