TVS Motor today strengthened its electric vehicle portfolio with the launch of TVS Orbiter V1 with 1.8 kWh — the most accessible electric scooter in the company’s lineup. The company also introduced Battery-As-A-Service (BaaS) across its EV portfolio, offering customers a new and flexible ownership model.
With the addition of TVS Orbiter V1 and the introduction of Battery-As-A-Service, TVS Motor’s EV scooter range now starts at ₹49,999 (ex-showroom Delhi, inclusive of PM e-Drive). The BaaS model lowers the upfront cost, while offering customers long-term battery assurance and peace of mind. Customers who prefers the TVS Orbiter V1 without BaaS, can purchase it at ₹84,500 (ex-showroom Delhi, inclusive of PM e-Drive).
TVS Orbiter V1, powered by a 1.8 kWh battery, is designed to make everyday electric commuting simpler and more practical for urban riders. With this launch, the TVS Orbiter range is now available in two variants: V1 with 1.8 kWh and V2 with 3.1 kWh.
Designed for practical city commuting, the TVS Orbiter V1 delivers a certified IDC range of 86 km and supports 0–80% charging in approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, making it well suited for everyday mobility needs. The TVS Orbiter V1 is packed with advanced features including a connected mobile app, front LED headlamp with visor, and a coloured LCD cluster with incoming call display, enhancing convenience and rider experience.
At its core, the TVS Orbiter V1 follows a modern, endearing and purposeful design philosophy that strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. The 845 mm long flat-form seat ensures comfort for both rider and pillion, while the 290 mm straight-line footboard provides ample legroom. A wide and upright handlebar offers an ergonomic riding posture, making everyday rides effortless. The scooter also features 34-litre under-seat storage, large enough to accommodate two helmets, further enhancing everyday practicality.
The TVS Orbiter offers an intelligent connected riding experience, including:
Proactive safety: Crash, fall, anti-theft, geo-fencing, and time-fencing alerts
Always in control: Check battery charge and odometer remotely through the mobile app
Smart navigation: Turn-by-turn guidance with customizable settings

BaaS: Enabling A New Ownership Mindset
