TVS, an Indian two-wheeler manufacturer, is reportedly planning to unveil a new electric scooter, called the Creon, in Dubai on 23 August 2023. A viral teaser image states that mark your calender to witness an electric-flying launch that will defy the status quo in mobility, with the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper, featured prominently.

Upcoming new TVS electric scooter: Details

The teaser showcases a vertically stacked ice-cube-shaped headlamp setup, identical to the headlight seen on the Creon concept displayed at the Auto Expo a few years ago. Speculation suggests that this upcoming electric scooter could be the production version of the Creon, which was presented as a concept at the 2018 Auto Expo. The Creon concept boasts a radical design with a futuristic and sporty style.

Currently, TVS sells only one e-scooter, the iQube, in the market. However, the iQube is the second best-selling electric scooter in the country, following the top-selling Ola S1. If TVS launches the Creon EV in India, it is likely to attract a larger customer base, particularly among young buyers.

Upcoming new TVS electric scooter: Powertrain

Regarding the powertrain, when the Creon concept was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo, TVS positioned it as a performance-focused electric scooter concept, evident from its bodywork. Thus, the upcoming electric scooter may prioritise performance over range or strike a balance between the two.

in fact, TVS is known for its performance-oriented motorcycles such as the Apache RTR 160R 4V/200 4V and Apache RR 310, as well as the sporty Ntorq scooter. Meanwhile, details and specifications of the upcoming electric scooter are expected to be revealed at the unveiling event, including the India launch date.
