TVS Orbiter Review: A Practical City EV Scooter
TVS has launched a new electric scooter called the Orbiter.
It has a unique, boxy design and comes with features like a color LCD screen, cruise control, and a hill-hold function.
The scooter is powered by a 2.5kW motor and has a claimed range of 158km.
It's great for city commuting, with a top speed of 68 kmph in City mode and 45 kmph in Eco mode.
The scooter takes about 4 hours and 10 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%.
It's priced at approximately Rs 1.08 Lakh and is aimed at beginners, families, or anyone whose primary commute is within the city.
However, its lower performance and sedated riding character make its target audience slightly ill-defined.
