TVS Orbiter vs Ather Rizta vs Ola S1X vs Vida V2X: TVS Orbiter was launched on Thursday i.e. 28 August in the Indian two-wheeler market. Whose starting ex-showroom price is only Rs 99,900. It is the cheapest electric scooter of TVS ever. Significantly, while the IQUBE company’s flagship EV has been there, the arrival of Orbiter clearly shows that TVS is now adopting a month-market strategy keeping in mind more and more city customers. Now the question is whether it will be able to challenge strong competition like Ather Rizta, Hero Vida V2X and Ola S1x?
TVS Orbiter vs Rivals: Price Compiring
The biggest strength of TVS Orbiter in the Indian market is its price. This is cheaper than most electric scooters, as it is priced at less than Rs 1 lakh. It gives customers an easy opportunity to get electric scooters for Rs 99,900. Many people have been waiting for such affordable electric scooters for a long time, as the prices of the rest of the companies are continuously increasing.
On the other hand, the Ather Rizta costs a higher price. Its initial price starts from Rs 1.08 lakh and goes up to Rs 1.77 lakh, which depends on batteries and features. The aim of the ather is not to be the cheapest, but to give more advanced features and premium experience.
The price of Hero Vida V2X starts at Rs 97,800, which is close to TVS Orbiter. But the positioning of both is different. The focus of Vida has been on a better range and young design. For this reason, this scooter mostly attracts young and urban customers, who want both style and functionality.
At the same time, Ola S1X also offers a cheap price story. Its price starts from Rs 79,999 to Rs 99,999. Ola has introduced S1x as its entry-level EV. Ola’s brand identity and aggressive marketing gives it a strong grip. But now the arrival of Orbiter at this price can definitely change the options of customers.
TVS Orbiter vs Rivals: Specifications
The TVS Orbiter has a 3.1 kwh battery, which claims to give a range of 158 km. It makes a trusted scooter for visitors daily. It provides special features such as 14-inch front wheel, cruise control, hill-hold, reverse assist and 169 mm ground clearance, which makes it different from more scooters. The scooter has a 34 -liter boot space and an 845 mm flat seat, which makes daily use and rest easier. For connectivity, it has the facility to connect Bluetooth display, turn-by-turn, theft and fall alert, OTA updates and Smartxonnect apps. So many features at a price less than Rs 1 lakh make it an attractive option for buyers.
Ather Rizta is still famous for its advanced technology and real-life performance. It contains 2.9 kwh and 3.7 kwh battery options, which give a range of 105 to 125 kilometers in real use. The Ather rely on the data, but on its app system, frequent upcoming software updates and strong dealer support.
Talking about Hero Vida V2X, it gets a 3.44 kwh battery, which gives a range of about 110 kilometers. It has features like removable battery, different riding modes and fast charging. Its design has been designed especially keeping in mind the youth, so that it can not just show their personality but also show their personality. V2x is neither as advance as the Ather nor the Orbiter as economical. But it tries to adopt the middle path with a new design and reliable performance.
Ola S1x has chosen a different route. This scooter pays attention to a completely affordable price and easy use. It provides 2 kwh and 3 kwh battery options, which the company claims to be range of 95 to 151 km. The large sales and service network of Ola is its greatest strength, but in terms of features it is the Ather and now slightly simple than Orbiter. Its real victory is in its identity and OLA’s aggressive marketing campaign, due to which it often becomes the first choice of EV buyers.
