TVS Orbiter V1 Electric Scooter Launched with 1.8kWh Battery: Price Starts from Rs 49,999

TVS Orbiter V1 has officially launched in India with a 1.8kWh battery and an 86km IDC-certified range. The scooter starts at Rs 49,999 (ex-showroom) with the Battery-as-a-Service model, which makes it one of the most affordable ev from the brand. However, buyers who prefer a traditional purchase can choose the non-subscription option priced at around Rs 84,500. 

The biggest highlight here is the flexible ownership structure. Instead of paying for the battery upfront, customers can subscribe to battery usage through monthly plans starting at Rs 862. Because of this approach, the initial purchase cost becomes much lower. 

In addition, the subscription package includes extended warranty coverage. The warranty lasts up to five years or 70,000 kilometres, which adds peace of mind for many riders. Let’s know more about this scooter in detail. 

Orbiter V1 Focuses on Practical City Performance

The Orbiter V1 focuses mainly on practical daily commuting in busy cities. It runs on a 1.8kWh battery pack that suits short and regular urban rides. The scooter offers an IDC-certified range of about 86 kilometres, which can easily cover daily office or college travel. Moreover, the battery can reach around 80% in about two hours. 

In addition, the scooter features a wide 845mm flat seat that supports both rider and passenger during longer rides. The 290mm footboard also provides enough space for small bags or groceries. Under the seat, riders get about 34 litres of storage capacity for helmets and daily items. Because of these practical touches, the Orbiter V1 feels well-suited for everyday city mobility.

Smart Features and Connectivity 

The TVS scooter also comes with several modern features that improve everyday usability. It includes a coloured LCD display that shows important ride information clearly. In addition, the display supports call notifications, which adds convenience during daily commuting. Riders can also connect the scooter to a mobile application for better control. Through this app, users can monitor vehicle data and receive important updates. 

The scooter also features a front LED headlamp that improves visibility during night rides. However, perhaps the most important innovation is the Battery-as-a-Service model. This system gives riders more flexibility in managing ownership costs. It also solves common concerns related to battery maintenance.
