In the two-wheeler market, flag-flying TVS is trying to increase its offerings in the electric segment. Its first hit was the iCube scooter which was well received in the market. In this case, in order to double this reception, TVS company has decided to launch 10 scooters with 5 kg watt hour power to 25 kg watt hour power. It has been reported that Jupiter has decided to launch an electric version of the scooter as its first option. The company has also registered a patent for this.
In terms of performance, TVS plans to use mid-mounted motors that churn out 5-25 kilowatts of power, rather than a hub motor like in the iCube scooter. This means that the use of mid-mounted motors means that the weight of the vehicle is reduced and more power is produced.
Almost the same method has been used in Aether 450X and Ola S1 Pro scooters. In fact, it seems that the new motor system of this TVS company will have improved technology than the old one.
Currently, the iCube scooter has a 4.4 kilowatt motor. It accelerates from 0-40 kmph in just 4.2 seconds. But when the TVS uses a mid-mounted motor, its performance is said to be even better. Also, this Jupiter electric scooter is expected to compete with the upcoming Honda Activa electric scooter.
