TVS launches new TVS X electric scooter

Indian motorcycle manufacturer TVS Motor Company has launched its new TVS X all-electric scooter.

Designed, developed, and made-in-India, the TVS X promises thrilling acceleration alongside an impressive range, which TVS states places it as an ideal zero-emission electric mobility solution.

The 10.2-inch touchscreen mounted directly onto the aluminium handlebars comes with a wide array of widgets that allows users to personalise the information displayed

The TVS X is built on the firm's Xleton platfom, which it states offers more than two times the torsional stiffness and four times the vertical stiffness than the industry standard. 

This platform is paired with a body that minimises air resistance for greater efficiency when on the move. The electric scooter also makes use of a ram-air cooled motor, allowing it to deliver sustained performance.

At the front, the scooter comes with a four-element LED headlamp, alongside sequential turn indicators. The scooter also plays a programmable lighting sequence at start-up or shutdown, adding drama to every ride and expanding the scope for personalisation.

Charging the TVS X can be done via an optional 3kW charger, which will take just 50 minutes to bring the scooter's 4.4kWh battery from flat to a 50% state-of-charge

Powering the TVS X is a 15bhp (11kW) electric motor, which allows the scooter to reach 40km/h in 2.6 seconds, and a sustained maximum speed of 105km/h. A 4.44kWh battery will feed this motor, which can be charged from flat to a 50% state-of-charge in just 50 minutes with the optional 3kW charger.

Riders will be able to get all necessary riding information through a 10.2-inch touchscreen that is placed atop the forged aluminium handlebar. This display can be adjusted for tilt, ensuring high visibility in all riding positions. A wide array of widgets will also be offered that will allow users to personalise the information displayed, select themes, or simply upload pictures as a cluster wallpaper on the touchscreen.

Deliveries of the TVS X are set to start across selected cities in India starting from November 2023.
