Expert's Opinion on Orbiter

Overview

Untapped Potential

• TVS has a very interesting electric scooter lineup. The iQube is probably India's favorite electric scooter because if you have good IQ, you would be buying that. Then comes its X's and O's. The TVS X went on sale a couple of years ago, but it has only finally started to hit our streets and in certain cities. And the O, well, the Orbiter is here. It is meant for giving the younger buyers an alternative choice to the iQube in the TVS lineup without splurging that much for the X. It doesn't have as much performance as the X, though, as it sacrifices that for extra range, which is also great for gig workers. At least that is the claim from TVS. So, does it deliver well on the claim? And is it a better alternative to the iQube?

Design

Perfectly Neutral

• It would be wrong to call the Orbiter an iQube with fancier clothes because it isn't. It is based on an entirely new platform that TVS has developed from the ground up. You get a more stylish, youthful, looking colour scheme as well as design language. And it doesn’t alienate the elder members of your family either. In that sense, TVS has covered its basis rather well. It does get neat connected LED DRLs with the integrated turn indicators.
• The blue and fluorescent neon yellow shade is particularly likeable, as they contrast well with each other, bringing that sort of funkiness to the e-scooter. The side profile is clean and simple with flush fit panels and pillion foot pegs.
• There are two grab handle options: the traditional one offered on the conservative colour options of the Orbiter while the split option is present on the slightly brighter shades. The connected tail section also adds to the premium look. But it looks rather small and compact from here.
• Overall build quality and fit finish levels are on point from what you expect from a TVS product. It is sort of the smaller, finer details where the Orbiter doesn't feel quite as neatly done. The console surround plastics and switchgear seem like they have been lifted from a scooter from nearly a decade ago and not from a modern scooter, like the Jupiter 110.

Performance & Range

A Bit Dull

• The fundamentals of the Orbiter are like the iQube only. It gets the same 3.1 kWh battery pack as well as a hub motor setup, which is sort of similar to the iQube but they are not exactly the same. The cells and the battery management system are more or less similar but the way the cells have been packaged is very different. Also, the motor construction is very different to the iQube with a relatively lower peak power rating of 2.2kW.
• As a result, TVS has sort of optimised the Orbiter for a slightly relaxed and a calming riding experience, even more than the iQube. Hence, it doesn't feel very quick or sprightly off the mark. Getting up to city speeds of 40-45kmph takes a fair bit of time, which is the ceiling of performance in Eco mode. If you want a bit more performance, you will have to shift to City mode that allows you to reach a top speed of 68 kmph, which we feel is a little bit on the lower side. Perhaps, if TVS had given it a little more poke towards the top, it would have been far better for commuting. Then you would be able to keep pace with city traffic and still have enough poke on hand to get ahead of traffic when needed.
• However, TVS claims that this is meant for 16-18 year olds where legally the riders are only required to ride an electric scooter with top speed less than 70kmph and a peak power rating lower than 4kW. The iQube doesn’t satisfy the legal requirements. Hence, by getting the Orbiter, the budding riders would be spared from a challan.
• Cruise control is operational in both modes, but only between speeds of 25-60kmph. Anything lower or higher than that, it will not work. In order to use the feature, it's fairly simple. There’s adedicated cruise control button. Reach your desired cruising speeds and press the button once to activate the system. Press the button again and it will set the speed that you want. In order to deactivate the system, you either tap the brakes or accelerate and cruise control will be deactivated.
• Hill hold assist is active on both uphill as well as downhill conditions, up to a certain gradient. Activating it is pretty simple again by pressing either of the brakes for 1.5 seconds. To ride away, simply roll on the throttle. These are good features which are neatly executed.

Battery & Charging

Good For Commutes

• The 3.1kWh battery pack of the Orbiter is claimed to offer 158km of IDC range. Realistically, you are looking at 125km of range in Eco mode and perhaps close to 100km in City. The 650W portable charger takes 4 hours 10 minutes to charge the battery from bone dry to 80 percent. A full charge should take another hour tops.

Handling

Light and Nimble

• It is a very light and easy to manoeuvre scooter. TVS had set up a couple of ‘real-world traffic scenarios’ for us to encounter on its test track where you had to navigate through some tight tricky spots.
• The Orbiter handled itself rather well. The larger 14-inch front wheel does aid in giving the scooter that little extra sense of stability.
• What remains a bit of a letdown is the lack of a disc brake variant. The braking performance on offer is not adequate. In fact, this is sort of signaling back to scooters which were present in 2005, not 2025. At least offering the aid as a variant would have helped its case rather well. As far as braking performance goes, you cannot just rely on the front brake. You have to use both of the brakes to bring the scooter to a dead halt.

Ride Quality

Too Early To Say

• We can't tell you that because at the TVS test track there were barely any bumps to experience. Over the small speed breakers that were meant to simulate real-world conditions, the scooter felt rather plush, but we'll reserve our judgmentfor a thorough road test.

Space & Practicality

Good Enough, Could Be Better

• The Orbiter turns out to be pretty practical as well. It has a small cubby hole to store your phone and a few extra knick-knacks.
• And you shouldn’t fear for things spilling out as the performance on hand is not that great. Furthermore, you can open the seat from the ignition slot directly. On paper, 34-litres of storage space sounds great. It can store two half-face helmets.
• The issue is that the space isn’t deep enough. Hence, at max it can accommodate a full-size laptop bag with a couple of other small items, but a full-size helmet, that is not what it will be able to gobble up.

Features

A Bit Too Basic

• The 5.5-inch colour-segmented negative LCD console is very well laid out and easy to read. However, on a scooter aimed at 16-18 year olds, a TFT option would have done better justice.
• It does get turn-by-turn navigation and a fair few connectivity features that can be accessed via the TVS SmartXonnect app.
• And even the USB charger is the older Type-A version and not a modern Type-C. The Orbiter also gets cruise control and hill hold assist, which work well. More information on the same in the performance section.

Comfort & Storage

Wide And Spacious

• At 112kg, the Orbiter is one of the lighter electric scooters in the Indian electric space. So, it's certainly lighter than the iQube by around 4-6 kilos. And even the 763mm seat height is fairly accessible for riders of all heights. Shorter riders should not feel that much of a problem, but the seat is slightly on the wider side. Hence, when you want to come to a halt, you will have to spread your legs further than you might think to reach the floor.
• The seat is fairly long and spacious. Two up riding is very comfortable. The grab rails on our test unit are chunky but are fairly low set and hence you will need to have longer arms in order to grab them. There is a more traditional conventional grab handle piece on the more conservative colours. And since it doubles up as a small back rest as well, you might want to consider swapping the two, especially if you will have older members riding pillion.
• The floor space also is pretty generous. I wear size 10 shoes and I didn’t have any issue pertaining to the floor space. You can even store a medium-sized suitcase for, say, a couple of days worth of travel fairly well on the Orbiter, which eats into your floor space but not that big of a deal.

Verdict

Not An iQube Alternative

• Is the Orbiter a better alternative to the iQube? Well, answering that question is a little difficult because when you talk about pure numbers or pure riding feels, it isn't an elevated experience. In fact, this feels like a little bit of a step back. Reminds you of the original iQube that arrived on to the scene almost 5-6 years ago. The speed, the performance levels on offer aren't that great. The range claims are better but it is going to be a rather dull ride.
• This does bring about that sense of freshness to the Indian electric scooter space, certainly from the TVS perspective. This is something that TVS consciously did for the younger buyers, as they would prefer it over the iQube.
• Ultimately, though, the scooter will be purchased by the parents and for the family, where the iQube scores higher. It offers far more value, far more wholesomeness and far better safety without shelling out a whole lot more than the Orbiter (Rs 99,990, ex-showroom Bengaluru).
• The Orbiter does have a promising setup but it's not delivering on that promise just about yet. Perhaps, we should wait for a larger battery pack version, a more powerful version or a better feature packed and safer version of the Orbiter. Those will be coming, not quite immediately but over the course of time. Hence, as it stands better wait and watch for the future versions of the Orbiter.
