TVS Orbiter Electric Scooter Launching on 28 August

TVS Motor Company is gearing up for another exciting launch. On August 28, 2025, TVS will reveal a brand-new electric scooter. Most signs suggest this could be the much-awaited TVS Orbiter. The company recently trademarked the name, and teaser images show a bold “O” symbol in the background. 
 

The Orbiter is expected to be a budget-friendly EV priced under Rs. 1 lakh. Positioned below the iQube range, this scooter will target young, first-time buyers and city riders. Here’s everything we know so far about TVS’ new electric scooter.
 

Launch Date and Teaser Hints

TVS has officially confirmed the launch for August 28, 2025. The teaser image shows a scooter covered with a cloth. Behind it, the glowing letter “O” is clearly visible. This hints strongly at the name Orbiter for the scooter. The caption reads: Get ready for an electrifying ride. This confirms it will be an electric vehicle and not a petrol scooter.
 

The new scooter will sit below the popular TVS iQube range. The iQube starts at Rs. 1 lakh and goes up to nearly Rs. 2 lakh. TVS plans to make Orbiter the entry-level option in its EV portfolio. This move helps attract budget buyers looking for affordable electric scooters. It will also expand TVS’ customer base in smaller towns and cities.
 

Price and Market Competition

Reports suggest the Orbiter will cost below the Rs. 1 lakh mark. This aggressive pricing makes it a strong rival in the EV market. It will compete with Ola S1 Air, Vida V2, and Bajaj Chetak. Ather is also preparing a low-cost scooter, launching just two days later. Clearly, competition in the EV market is heating up quickly. TVS wants to strengthen its lead in the affordable electric scooter segment.
 

Patent sketches show a sleek and futuristic design for the Orbiter. It could feature larger wheels, a flat floorboard, and stylish split grab rails. The front design includes a tall windscreen and LED daytime running lights. Integrated turn indicators add to the scooter’s modern look. The design feels simpler compared to the premium TVS iQube. This makes it more practical for daily use and city commuting.
 

Motor and Battery Expectations

The Orbiter will likely use a hub-mounted motor for cost efficiency. Some reports suggest TVS might even try a mid-mounted motor design. There’s also a mid-mounted motor that improves balance, performance, and weight distribution. 
 

The battery will be smaller compared to the iQube range. This helps keep costs low but still suitable for daily short rides. TVS may also explore a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. This plan could reduce upfront costs and attract price-sensitive buyers.
