TVS Motors Company has unveiled the highly anticipated TVS X electric scooter in a live event streamed from Dubai today. This electric scooter falls under the premium category and boasts an array of advanced features and cutting-edge technology.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the latest addition – the TVS X Electric Scooter:
Battery Pack:
The TVS X Electric Scooter is equipped with a dual battery pack boasting a capacity of 4.44 kWh. This battery pack is designed to be resistant to both dust and water.
XLETON Platform:
Built upon the innovative XLETON platform developed by TVS, the TVS X features a maxi-style format. Its foundation rests on a novel Xleton frame crafted from lightweight aluminum alloy.
Charging Time:
The TVS X comes fitted with rapid charging technology, allowing it to be charged via a Smart X Home rapid charger. This charger enables the scooter to go from 0 to 50 percent charge in just 50 minutes. Alternatively, a 950W portable charger can be used, which takes around 4.5 hours to charge the battery from 0 to 80 percent.
Range and Speed:
With an asserted range of 140 kilometers on a single charge, the TVS X delivers both impressive mileage and performance. It can reach a top speed of 105 km/h and incorporates regenerative braking to enhance battery longevity by reducing strain.
Digital Features:
TVS takes pride in the scooter’s exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, featuring ram air cooling technology. A groundbreaking feature is the live vehicle location-sharing functionality. Navigation is facilitated by the all-new onboard Nav Pro system. The X-Tilt instrument console, which is a unique swiveling feature, takes center stage. Moreover, the scooter boasts a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, the largest in its class.
Riding Modes:
The TVS X offers three distinct riding modes: Xthealth, Xtride, and Xonic. Among these, Xonic stands out as the most powerful mode. Additionally, ABS and cruise control are integrated into the Xonic mode.
Suspension and Performance:
The TVS X electric scooter is equipped with an offset mono suspension at the rear, contributing to its sporty appearance. The auto hold function further enhances its practicality.
