The TVS Orbiter price starts near Rs 88,000 to Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom, depending on the source and city, and the scooter comes in two variants. The V1 has a 1.8 kWh battery with an 86 km claimed range, and the V2 has a 3.1 kWh battery with a 158 km claimed range. A battery rental plan lowers the upfront price. This guide covers variants, price conflicts, range, charging and who should buy it.

TVS Orbiter Price by Variant

TVS raised scooter prices after launch, so older and newer listings disagree. Additionally, bikewale-style on-road figures of about Rs 98,000 and Rs 1.18 lakh include insurance and other charges. Moreover, confirm the current price with a TVS dealer.

Battery, Range and Charging

The V1 uses a 1.8 kWh battery and the V2 uses a 3.1 kWh battery. Furthermore, TVS claims 86 km for the V1 and 158 km for the V2. In addition, A full 0-80 percent charge takes about 2 hours 20 minutes on the V1 and 4 hours 10 minutes on the V2. As a result, an overnight charge at home is enough for most riders. Meanwhile, real-world range will be lower, especially with a heavy rider, hills or high speed. Notably, our electric scooter battery price guide explains replacement costs.

Motor, Speed and Features

The scooter uses a BLDC motor with Eco and City riding modes. Importantly, sources disagree on motor power, with one listing 1.8 kW and another 2.5 kW, so check the brochure. Likewise, the V1 weighs 101 kg and the V2 weighs 112 kg, which keeps handling easy. The 34-litre under-seat storage holds two helmets. Moreover, the warranty is reported as 3 years or 50,000 km.

Battery Rental Option Explained

TVS offers a version where you buy the scooter and rent the battery. Beyond that, the upfront price starts near Rs 49,999, and the rental adds about Rs 1.2 per km. For example, 1,000 km a month adds about Rs 1,200. Therefore, low-mileage riders save money upfront, while high-mileage riders may pay less by buying the battery. On top of that, our Hero Vida price guide covers a similar subscription plan.

Who Should Buy the TVS Orbiter?

The Orbiter suits first-time EV buyers who want a light, easy city scooter from a known brand. In contrast, riders who need long highway range should look at larger packs. Furthermore, check the service network in your city before booking.

Running Cost and Charging at Home

A 3.1 kWh pack costs about Rs 25 for a full charge at Rs 8 per unit. Equally, use the EV vs petrol cost calculator to compare with a petrol scooter. Additionally, see our EV charging rates guide for tariffs, and our 7 kW charger guide if you plan a wallbox.

Subsidy and Insurance

Central and state incentives change often. Moreover, check the EV subsidy finder for your state before you book, and ask the dealer which subsidy is already in the quoted price.
