TVS has filed trademark applications for two names that will most likely find their way onto the electric version of its popular XL 100 moped.
- XL 100 moped is one of TVS’ longest-running models
- Kinetic E Luna only electric moped on sale currently
As of now, the TVS XL 100 is the only petrol-powered moped available for purchase in the country and its price ranges between Rs 44,999 – Rs 59,695 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The names in these trademark filings certainly open the door to the possibility of TVS working on a battery-powered XL model.
The XL 100 is a long-standing model in TVS’ portfolio and sells in five-digit figures even today. With the success of its iQube range, TVS looks to be expanding its electric two-wheeler portfolio, while using one of its most established brands. Considering that TVS has filed these patents in January of this year, it is still early days for the E-XL / XL EV project and as such there are no details or official company confirmation regarding the same.
Currently, there is only one electric moped on sale in India – the Kinetic E Luna that is priced between Rs 64,990 – Rs 74,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
