TVS XL electric moped in the works; patent leaked

The TVS XL electric moped could compete with the upcoming Kinetic e-Luna.

TVS already has a strong presence in the electric 2-wheeler segment with the iQube. Now, the company is said to be working on an electric version of its XL moped.

A leaked patent image of the upcoming moped shows a modified TVS XL with a battery pack mounted on the underside of the frame and a small electric motor that sends power to the rear wheel via a chain drive.

Apart from the electric powertrain, other components like the telescopic front suspension, dual rear shock absorbers, brakes and spoked wheels appear to have been carried over from the petrol version. Speaking of which, the standard XL uses a 99.7cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 4.3 BHP and 6.5 Nm. It has a payload capacity of 130 kg.

Once launched, the TVS XL electric moped could compete with the Kinetic e-Luna. Both models are expected to come at an affordable price point compared to electric scooters from Ather Energy, Ola Electric and Bajaj Auto.
