The TVS M1-S is a new electric maxi-scooter designed for international markets. A teaser of its upcoming unveiling has been posted on TVS Motor Company’s official Instagram page. TVS will launch the M1-S in collaboration with ION Mobility, which has already posted some of the scooter’s specifications on its official website.
- M1-S is expected to get a 4.3 kWh battery pack and a 12.5kW motor
- TVS has tied up with ION Mobility to launch the M1-S overseas
TVS M1-S specifications
The TVS M1-S has an aggressive design language. The front end gets sharp LED headlights with DRLs (daylight running lamps) and integrated indicators. At the rear, it appears to have a large, well-padded seat, and it rides on 14-inch alloy wheels.
The M1-S will likely have a 4.3 kWh battery pack powering a 12.5kW motor. The scooter is claimed to have 150km of range, a 0-50kph acceleration time of 3.7 seconds, a top speed of 105kph and a charging time of three hours for a full charge with its built-in onboard charger.
In terms of features, it gets a windscreen at the front, a 7-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, a smart key, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, a USB Type-A charger, 26-litre underseat storage, disc brakes at both ends, riding modes, reverse mode and regenerative braking. There are five colour options listed on the ION Mobility website, including Molten Grey, Spectre Black, Tempest Blue, Silken Dune and Terra Green.
Currently, there is no word on whether this scooter will make its way to India, but considering that it is built overseas by ION Mobility, the chances are slim. More details will follow after its official unveiling next week.
