Here's what the official teasers reveal
In 2017, TVS filed a trademark for the "ENTORQ" name and it may be used for the upcoming electric scooter. Some reports also suggest 'Xonic' could be the moniker. The two-wheeler will be based on TVS Creon which was initially showcased as a concept model at Auto Expo 2018. Per the official teasers, the EV will feature square-shaped LEDs stacked vertically and an eye-catching apron panel. It should offer sporty decals and disc brakes on both wheels.
Scenario
It may outperform the rivals
Pricing for the TVS Creon-based electric scooter is expected to be around Rs. 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom, including FAME 2 subsidies). With the launch scheduled for August 23, it is poised to attract electric scooter enthusiasts seeking a stylish model with a distinctive design and new-age features. The full specifications are still a mystery but a new teaser has revealed that the EV will provide a range of around 105km and boast a top speed of over 100km/h.
