TVS Orbiter vs Ola S1 X: Which budget electric scooter to opt for?

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 entry-level 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 well-equipped 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 34-litre underseat storage. That said, the Orbiter gets a larger 5.5-inch display as compared to a 4.3-inch unit offered in the S1X. Safety features like geo-fencing, crash/fall alerts, and anti-theft 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.
