TVS Orbiter specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Motor, battery and charging
The Orbiter's 2.5 kW motor is the 20rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 68 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 2.2 hours. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Dimensions in practice
The Orbiter weighs 101 kg with fluids, has an 760 mm seat, 165 mm of ground clearance. Clearance is average for the class.
Tyres are 90/80-14 front and 90/90-12 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Electric
Recovers a little charge when slowing and saves brake pads.
Reverse mode
Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.
Hill hold
Holds the brakes on a slope for a moment so you do not roll back at a signal.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Companion app
Charge status, location and ride stats on your phone.
Equipment against Konarc, Chetak C2501 and IQube
Against Konarc, Chetak C2501 or IQube, it gets regenerative braking and companion app that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: hazard lamps and fast charging, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
