TVS launched a new electric scooter in the form of an Orbiter yesterday. It is slotted below the iQube range in the TVS lineup and locks horns against other affordable electric scooters — the most prominent name being Ola S1 X. Let us do a quick comparison between the two entrylevel electric scooters. In this comparison, we are only considering the base variant of Ola S1 X since the Orbiter is only available in a single variant.

TVS Orbiter vs Ola S1 X: Dimensions

The TVS Orbiter is 7 kilos heavier than the Ola S1 X. However, the Orbiter gets a more accessible seat and a better ground clearance than the S1X. Also, the latter is much wider and longer than the Orbiter.

TVS Orbiter vs Ola S1 X: Features

Both scooters are very wellequipped as far as features go. Both scooters come with a colour LCD instrument panel that is compatible with smartphone connectivity and navigation. They also have cruise control, an LED headlamp, reverse mode, and an identical 34litre underseat storage. That said, the Orbiter gets a larger 5.5inch display as compared to a 4.3inch unit offered in the S1X. Safety features like geofencing, crash/fall alerts, and antitheft tracking and a connected mobile app to monitor charge, range, etc. are common to both. The S1 X misses out on a USB charging port which the Orbiter offers.

TVS Orbiter vs Ola S1 X: Battery & Motor specs

The base variant of Ola S1 X comes with a small 2 kWh battery that claims a range of 108 km on a single charge. On the other hand, TVS Orbiter gets a larger 3.1 kWh battery that promises a range of 158 km on a single charge. That said, Ola offers better performance with a top speed of 101 kmph whereas the Orbiter can only clock a top speed of 68 kmph.

TVS Orbiter vs Ola S1 X: Price

In terms of pricing, both electric scooters are very closely matched to each other.
