On August 28, 2025, TVS Motor Company plans to introduce its brand-new TVS Orbiter electric scooter in India. The Orbiter will be the company’s entry-level electric scooter, positioned beneath the well-liked TVS iQube. It will go up against low-cost EVs like the Bajaj Chetak base trims, Ola S1 X, and Vida VX2.
TVS Orbiter Price in India (Expected)
It is anticipated that the Orbiter will cost between ₹95,000 and ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom). To aggressively compete with rivals in the low-cost EV market, TVS may introduce a base model at a lower price, according to reports.
Battery, Motor & Range
A hub-mounted electric motor and a 2 kWh battery pack are probably going to be used in the next Orbiter. This configuration should provide a riding range that is suitable for short-distance travel and daily urban commutes.
Key Features of TVS Orbiter
While the Orbiter will be an affordable EV, TVS is expected to include all the essential modern features, such as:
- Digital instrument console
- LED lighting for headlamp and tail lamp
- Basic ride modes for efficiency and performance balance
- Regenerative braking for better energy recovery
To keep the scooter affordable, advanced connected features (like app-based telematics or navigation) may not be included.
Design & Styling
Based on leaked patent images, the TVS Orbiter is expected to follow a clean, commuter-friendly design. Riders can expect a practical yet stylish electric scooter, offering a balance of everyday usability and visual appeal.
Why the Matters
TVS hopes that the Orbiter will draw in new EV customers who are searching for a low-maintenance, dependable, and reasonably priced electric scooter. The Orbiter might become one of the top low-cost electric scooters in India in 2025 if it is introduced at a competitive price.

- Ola S1 X – Known for its aggressive pricing
