TVS Motor has launched the Orbiter V1, a new base variant of its popular electric scooter. Priced at Rs 49,999 under the Battery-as-a-Service model, it becomes one of the most affordable electric scooters in India right now. The full ex-showroom price without BaaS stands at Rs 92,250.
- TVS Orbiter V1 priced at Rs 49,999 under BaaS — full ex-showroom price Rs 92,250
- BaaS subscription starts at Rs 862 per month for unlimited kilometres, no daily distance cap
- 1.8 kWh battery delivers 86 km range, charges 0-80% in 2 hours 20 minutes
TVS Orbiter V1 BaaS Pricing — How Does It Actually Work?
This is where TVS does things differently from rivals. Most competitors cap daily distance and charge per extra kilometre. TVS offers a flat monthly subscription — Rs 862 for V1 and Rs 1,155 for V2 — across tenure options of 24, 36 or 60 months. Ride as much as you want. No calculators needed. No surprises at month end.
TVS Orbiter V1 Specs — Smaller Battery, Same Feature Set
The V1 runs a 1.8 kWh battery pack, smaller than the V2. Range comes in at 86 km per charge. Charging from empty to 80% takes 2 hours 20 minutes with the standard charger. Despite the smaller pack, features remain largely intact — cruise control, hill hold, LED lighting, Bluetooth-enabled colour LCD cluster with navigation all carry over.
TVS Orbiter V1 vs V2 — Which One Makes More Sense?
Two variants now define the Orbiter lineup. V1 at Rs 92,250 and V2 at Rs 1,04,900, both ex-showroom without subsidy. V1 gets two colour choices — Martian Copper and Stellar Silver. TVS is already India’s top-selling electric two-wheeler brand, and this BaaS push clearly targets first-time EV buyers sitting on the fence.
At under Rs 50,000 to ride home, the TVS Orbiter V1 makes electric mobility genuinely accessible for middle-class India — and that’s a conversation the entire industry needed someone to start.
