The TVS X can reach a top speed of 105 km/h and can cover 140 km on a single charge.

TVS has launched its second electric scooter called, 'X' in the Indian market. With a price tag of Rs 2.50 lakh, the new TVS X is the most expensive e-scooter in India and is not eligible for the FAME-II subsidy.

The TVS X is based on the company's new 'Xleton' architecture. It uses an all-new aluminium alloy frame that is said to be 2.5 times stiffer than a conventional frame. The e-scooter has a wheelbase of 1,285 mm and a ground clearance of 175 mm. The seat is set at a height of 770 mm, with an underseat storage capacity of just 19 litres.

The TVS X certainly looks exciting though. The design is inspired by the Creon concept that was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. It has a vertical LED headlight with sequential turn indicators on either side and additional daytime running lights. It has a maxi-scooter look featuring sporty, dual-tone bodywork and a stepped seat. The rear sub-frame and brake calipers are painted blue.

The TVS X has a tilt-adjustable 10.25-inch touchscreen instrument console with an in-built NavPro navigation system. It supports games, live video streaming and browsing. The X also comes with several safety features like an anti-theft alarm, speed limiter, overspeed alerts, fall alert, geo-fencing, auto-locking, tow alert, live vehicle location sharing and a PIN-based unlocking system. It also gets cruise control.

The TVS X uses a 4.44 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery pack offering a range of 140 km. It powers a ram-air-cooled permanent magnet mid-drive motor that generates a continuous power of 9.38 BHP and a peak output of 14.75 BHP. There are three riding modes: Xtealth, Xtride and Xonic. TVS claims the X can sprint from 0-40 km/h in 2.6 seconds and 0-60 km/h in 4.5 seconds, while its top speed is 105 km/h.

According to TVS, a 3 kW home charger can recharge the battery to 50% in less than an hour. It takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes to charge the battery to 80% using a 950-watt charger.

The e-scooter comes with a telescopic fork at the front and a single-sided swingarm with an offset mono-shock at the rear. It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels shod with 100/80 and 110/80 section tyres at the front and rear, respectively. Braking is handled by 220 mm front and 195 mm rear disc brakes, supported by single-channel ABS.

The first 2,000 buyers will receive the 'First Edition'. They will also be able to avail of the 'TVS X Club Concierge Service'. For an additional Rs 18,000, customers can get a Garmin smartwatch.

The dash also shows the battery at 60% and a range of 63 km.

TVS is gearing up to launch its second electric scooter in the Indian market. The latest teaser reveals more details about the upcoming model, including what could be its official name. 

The teaser gives a glimpse of the scooter's digital instrument console with its orange graphics and more importantly, a speedometer that reads, "105 km/h". The dash also shows the battery at 60% and a range of 63 km. 

Another interesting bit on the display is the word "Xonic", which might be the scooter's official name or perhaps one of the drive modes.

Technical details of TVS' new electric scooter are still unknown. What remains to be seen is whether it will use the same battery and electric motor combination as the iQube.

Currently, TVS offers the iQube, which has a top speed of 82 km/h and a range of up to 140 km

TVS is gearing up to unveil its second electric scooter in the coming days. The new model is expected to be inspired by the Creon concept and could get a few advanced features.

As per the latest teasers, the e-scooter will get a colour TFT screen offering Bluetooth connectivity. It will also come with a smartwatch, which could enable users to lock or unlock the underseat storage compartment and handlebar. 

The teaser image also hints at the scooter's performance. The digital instrument console shows the speedometer reading 105 km/h. Currently, TVS offers the iQube, which has a top speed of 82 km/h and a range of up to 140 km, depending on the variant.

Technical details of the upcoming electric scooter are still unknown.

TVS' new naked streetfighter could be called Apache RTX or Apache RTR 310.

TVS has sent out invitations for a launch event that is scheduled for September 6, 2023. Now, the company hasn't revealed the details of the product it plans to launch, but rumours suggest that it could be the naked version of the Apache RR 310.

The roadster version of the Apache RR310 was first spotted in July this year. The bike could be called Apache RTX or RTR 310.

According to the leaked images, the RTR 310 is likely to receive a tweaked geometry along with sporty styling inspired by the Draken concept. The bike could also feature an upside-down front fork and a rear mono-shock, while the wheels and brakes could be carried over from the RR 310.

Reports suggest that the RTR 310 will use the same 313cc, single-cylinder that powers the BMW G 310 R. This unit develops 33.5 BHP and 27.3 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. The RTR 310 could be tuned for a stronger mid-range.

The Raider 125 is likely to get new paint schemes inspired by characters from the Marvel Universe.

TVS has teased a new variant of the Raider 125. Reports suggest that it could be called the 'Marvel Edition'.

The Raider 125 Marvel Edition is likely to get new paint schemes inspired by characters from the Marvel Universe. Like the NTorq Super Squad Edition, the Raider 125 could come in dual-tone shades with striking graphics.

No mechanical changes are expected and the Raider 125 will continue to be powered by the same 124.8cc, single-cylinder engine. This unit puts out 11.2 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm @ 6,000 rpm and will be paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The Raider 125 Marvel Edition will be equipped with an LED headlamp with an X-shape LED light signature, a digital instrument console with smartphone connectivity and ride modes. The bike will ride on telescopic fork suspension with a mono-shock at the rear and will get disc brakes at both ends.

Until now, 'Bluetooth' was only offered on the Jupiter ZX SmartXonnect.

The TVS Jupiter now gets Bluetooth connectivity on the ZX Drum variant as well. It is priced at Rs 84,468 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Until now, 'Bluetooth' was only offered on the ZX SmartXonnet variant. With the introduction of the new variant, customers can get the same connectivity tech at a slightly lower price point.

The Jupiter ZX Drum with TVS' SmartXonnect technology comes with several advanced features like turn-by-turn navigation, voice assist, as well as SMS and call alerts. The scooter also gets a USB charging port.

The TVS Jupiter ZX Drum variant is powered by a 109.6cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 7.77 BHP and 8.8 Nm. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The scooter comes equipped with a front telescopic fork and a single shock absorber at the rear. It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels and gets drum brakes at both ends.

TVS is gearing up to showcase a new electric 2-wheeler on August 23.

According to a media report, the BMW CE 02 electric 2-wheeler that made its global debut earlier this month has an Indian connection.

It is said that the EV platform was designed and developed by TVS. If the latest reports are indeed true, then it would be the second platform to spawn from the BMW Motorrad-TVS partnership. Both parties had earlier agreed to collaborate on EVs, and we could also see some of these models making their way into the Indian market.

The BMW CE 02 is powered by a pair of 2 kWh lithium-ion batteries paired with a 15 BHP electric motor. The e-bike has a top speed of 95 km/h and can travel up to 90 km on a single charge. BMW also offers a single battery version with a top speed of 45 km/h and a range of 45 km.

Both versions can be charged using either a 0.9 kW standard charger, which takes 5 hours 12 mins to charge both batteries from 0 - 100%. The BMW CE 02 is also compatible with a 1.5 kW fast charger, bringing down charging time to 3 hours 30 mins.

We know that TVS is gearing up to showcase a new electric 2-wheeler on August 23. The company claims it would "defy the status quo in mobility". Whether it would be TVS' version of the CE 02 remains to be seen.

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.

TVS had been working on a more premium variant called 'iQube ST' as well.

According to a media report, TVS is working on a low-cost version of the iQube electric scooter.

TVS' electric scooter range currently consists of the iQube and iQube S, with both versions powered by a 3.04 kWh battery. The new variant is likely to be positioned below the current base trim. It could be offered with a smaller battery pack and might miss out on some features.

It is said that TVS is mulling a more affordable variant of the iQube due to the recent cut in the FAME-II subsidy. The government subsidy on electric 2-wheelers was slashed by over 50%, adversely affecting their prices. As a result, EV sales have also taken a hit.

TVS had been working on a more premium variant called 'iQube ST' as well. This variant was said to be powered by a 4.56 kWh battery offering a much longer range. As the subsidy is reduced, it's unclear whether this variant will ever see the light of day.

The RTR 310 will use the same 313cc, single-cylinder that powers the BMW G 310 R.

TVS is working on a naked version of the Apache RR 310. The new model is likely to be called 'Apache RTR 310'. Here are some more images of the upcoming streetfighter.

The latest set of spy images reveals the RTR 310's tail section. The bike has a unique taillight design and split grabrails at the back. The number plate and turn indicators are mounted on the tyre hugger.

The chassis geometry of the Apache RTR 310 is noticeably different from the RR 310. The bike has raised handlebars and a suspension setup that allows for a more upright riding posture.

Reports suggest that the RTR 310 will use the same 313cc, single-cylinder that powers the BMW G 310 R. This unit develops 33.5 BHP and 27.3 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. That being said, TVS is likely to retune the engine for a better mid-range grunt. The bike's top speed is rumoured to be 158 km/h.
