TVS Orbiter 2025
TVS Orbiter has finally been launched. In this blog, I am going to tell you what we will get to see inside it? Is there anything special inside it? Do we get to see some common things with ER scooter or Goro scooter? What is its pricing? Will we get to see range in it? Overall it is going to be a complete overview video where I will also put some of my opinions.
Design
Talking about the front design, the head could have been a little better.
The lower body looks quite good because not much experimentation has been done.
The front body is light and simple.
The side look is similar to Ather Rizta but not exactly the same.
The TVS logo is in the front and LED treatment is given in both front and back.
The scooter completely follows symmetry.
Front highlights:
- 14-inch alloy wheels (first in segment)
- Drum brakes
- Telescopic suspension
Sides and seat:
- Flat and large footboard (295 mm height, 165 mm ground clearance)
- Seat upright and long (845 mm) – can seat two people easily.
- Footpacks deploy quickly.
Rear:
- Looks give similar vibes to Gogo scooters.
- Grab handle and "Orbiter" branding gives a slight Ather feel.
- 12-inch rear wheel and BLDC hub motor (different from iQube series).
- Swing arm is well covered.
- Dual spring suspension.
- Grab rail two options (sporty and conventional).

Overview Opinion
- First-in-segment features: 14-inch wheel, long seat, flat footboard.
- Smart features and looks also give a refreshing and funky vibe.
- Design symmetry and practicality were good.
- Motor power seemed a bit weak.
- If the pricing was ₹90,000 or below, it would have been fun in the competition.
- If TVS brings BaaS system (battery-as-a-service) in future, it would be a game-changer.
Conclusion
TVS has tried to bring a new design and scooter apart from iQube. There are positives as well as some negatives in it. Overall, this scooter looks good for daily use and urban commute. Final verdict will come in the review.
