TVS Motor Company has presented four production-ready two-wheelers at the EICMA 2026 show in Milan, marking a significant step in its European expansion strategy. The showcased lineup includes three distinct electric scooters and a 125cc premium commuter motorcycle: the Orbiter, M1-S, TVS X, and the Apache RTR 125. Each model is engineered to address diverse global demographics, spanning city commuters, urban max-scooter enthusiasts, and entry-level sportbike riders.
Concurrently, the Indian manufacturer is strengthening its sales, distribution, and service infrastructure across Western Europe while refining its product specifications to align with European regulatory requirements.

- 1.8kWh battery with an expected WMTC range of 70km.
- 3.1kWh battery with an expected WMTC range of 105km.
The Orbiter has a 45kph top speed and falls under Europe’s L1e category.

Its engineering network covers India, Singapore, the UK and Bologna in Italy. The Bologna centre was strengthened through the acquisition of Engines Engineering S.p.A.
The company is displaying 19 vehicles at EICMA. The stand also features the ’82 Series’, with one-off versions of the RR 310, RTR 310, RTX 300 and Ronin.
