TVS’ electric scooter innings have been a mixed bag.
While the iQube’s practical, family scooter roots have made it ubiquitous, the X’s sporty intentions and, chiefly, its high price tag, have attracted few buyers. So, the company’s third offering, ostensibly positioned as a funky runabout for the younger crowd, has big shoes to fill.And fill them it does, even from afar. The unconventional silhouette and TVS’ colour choices really seal the deal: our test bike's Neon Sunburst colour had people turning and staring in droves. Moreover, elements like the wraparound daytime running lights (DRL) and the edges of taillights doubling up as indicators are a smart touch.
Riders of varying physical statures, including this six-foot-two and nearly 90-kilogram correspondent, will be at ease on the Orbiter’s flat saddle, as it neither splays out shorter riders’ legs too wide, nor leaves the pillion wanting for space behind taller riders. The flat and long floorboard, too, keeps even taller riders’ knees in a natural bend, with adequate knee room, except, understandably, in lock-to-lock turns. The tall flyscreen, though, sticks out like a sore thumb, spoiling the otherwise sleek outline.
