TVS' upcoming electric scooter has showed up for the first time in a video which does reveal some useful information. This is assumed to be the TVS Creon concept which was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. The spy shot and the video were taken in Hosur, near TVS' manufacturing plant. Not one but two prototypes were spotted while testing.

From the spy shots, we can share some features like the telescopic front suspension, front disc brakes, offset rear shock absorber, hub-mounted electric motor, wide footboard area and wide-body panels. The rear fender is assumed to be taken over from the Jupiter for testing purposes and the final product might come with a different design. As the test mules were wearing heavy camouflage, we can't get much information about its looks and other details.
TVS electric scooter will sport smart connected features we saw in the N-torq and Apache 200 4V. The connectivity features might also include navigation assist, call and message alerts, anti-theft and geo-fencing. The Creon is also expected to receive a large TFT screen to assist you with all the features just like the Ather 450.

Powering the Creon will be a 12 kW electric motor producing about 16 PS. TVS claimed a 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds and a range of 80 kms when they showcased the Creon it at the 2018 Auto Expo. Unlike the Chetak, it will get fast charging support and can be filled to 80% of the juice in just an hour. The batteries for the matter will be three high-density lithium-ion units. However, we aren't sure whether the claimed figures will make the way to the final product or not!
TVS electric scooter might get launched in late 2020. Sadly, TVS has stepped out from the 2020 Auto Expo this year and won't be showcasing any products. Once launched, it will compete with the likes of Bajaj Chetak and Ather 450.
