Pricing and Options

Orbiter V1 is technically launched at Rs. 84,500 (ex-showroom, inclusive of PM e-Drive ). However, customers can also own it for Rs. 49,999 (ex-showroom, inclusive of PM e-Drive) by opting for the BaaS model. The monthly subscription for the BaaS plan will cost Rs. 862 for a period of 36 months.

Benefits of BaaS

The TVS subscription offers unlimited kilometers with no daily distance caps. It also includes an extended warranty of up to 5 years or 70,000 km. This model helps reduce the upfront purchase cost for buyers. It also eliminates concerns related to long-term battery ownership and replacement.

Features and Safety

Despite being an affordable electric scooter, the base variant of the V1 retains much of the equipment from the V2. It gets an LCD color cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. It also offers cruise control, hill-hold assist, parking assist (reverse function), and different ride modes such as Eco and Power with regenerative braking.

It comes with LED lighting, 34 liters of underseat storage, and safety alerts like anti-theft and crash notifications.

Verdict

The V1 serves as a more affordable alternative to the V2, which is priced approximately Rs. 15,000 higher. While the V2 offers a significantly higher range (158 km), the V1 provides a more entry-level price point and faster charging times due to its smaller battery.
