Range and Charging
With 158 km of claimed range, the V2 covers a busy week of city riding. In real-world use, expect roughly 120 to 130 km, depending on ride mode and load. As a result, a commuter covering 40 km a day only needs to charge every three days. A charge from 0 to 80% takes about 4 hours 10 minutes from a regular home socket, so plugging in overnight works well.
Running Cost
With home charging, the V2 costs roughly Rs 0.15 to Rs 0.20 per km to run. For a rider covering 1,200 km a month, that’s about Rs 200 in electricity, compared with around Rs 2,400 in petrol for a 110cc scooter. Moreover, the hub motor has no chain or belt to replace. TVS’s 3-year or 50,000 km warranty also keeps early ownership costs low.
TVS Orbiter V2 Features
The V2 comes well equipped for its price. Cruise control holds a steady speed on open roads, while Hill Hold Assist stops rollback on slopes. Moreover, forward and reverse parking assist helps in tight spots. A 5.5-inch colour LCD offers Bluetooth, turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts. On the safety side, crash and fall alerts, a motor cut-off and anti-theft alerts add peace of mind.
How It Compares
The TVS Orbiter V1 costs about Rs 12,000 less, but claims only 86 km. Meanwhile, the TVS iQube 2.3 kWh costs about the same, but claims 44 km less range and skips cruise control. Therefore, the Orbiter V2 offers the most range and practicality in TVS’s affordable range. However, riders who need a disc brake or higher speed should look at pricier options.
