TVS Electric Scooter Launching Tomorrow – What To Expect
TVS Motor Company is all set to bring in its first electric scooter tomorrow (25th January, 2020). While the company remains tight-lipped about the product, it’s likely to be an electric version of the TVS Jupiter. Rumour has it that the new TVS electric scooter might be based on the TVS Creon concept that broke cover at the 2018 Auto Expo.
Ahead of its official launch, the two-wheeler maker has released a teaser video revealing its silhouette. It also confirms that the TVS electric scooter can be charged via a wall mounted charger. Recently, the TVS Creon prototype was caught testing near the company’s Hosur based plant in Chennai.
The spotted test mule features a sharp front fascia with a stepped apron that seems carried over from the TVS Creon concept. It has contemporary design with upright riding position. The rear section looks similar to the Jupiter, though it gets a hub-mounted motor. Read: TVS Zeppelin 220cc Cruiser – What We Know So Far
