TVS Jupiter Electric vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining momentum in India, with two-wheelers leading the charge. One of the most anticipated entrants in this segment is the TVS Jupiter Electric. As a brand known for reliability, fuel efficiency, and superior ride comfort, TVS is set to redefine urban commuting with its electric variant of the popular Jupiter scooter. This article explores the TVS Jupiter Electric’s specifications, battery details, features, mileage, top speed, price in India, and expected launch date.
TVS Jupiter Electric: A Sneak Peek into the Future
TVS has already established a foothold in the EV market with its iQube Electric, and now, the upcoming Jupiter Electric is expected to build on that success. Combining cutting-edge technology, stylish design, and eco-friendliness, this scooter is designed for urban riders looking for a cost-effective, low-maintenance commuting solution.
Bike Specifications
While the official specs have not been fully revealed, industry reports and leaks suggest that the TVS Jupiter Electric will come with:
Motor: BLDC hub motor (with possible mid-drive variant)
Battery Pack: Lithium-ion (with detachable/swappable options)
Charging Time: 4-5 hours (Fast-charging option available)
Range: Expected around 75-100 km per charge
Top Speed: Estimated at 65-80 km/h
Brakes: Front disc, rear drum (CBS for safety)
Suspension: Telescopic front suspension, monoshock rear
Tyres: Tubeless for better durability
Battery and Charging
TVS is expected to equip the Jupiter Electric with a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery pack that ensures efficiency and longevity. The scooter may also feature fast-charging technology, allowing users to charge from 0-80% within an hour. Additionally, a removable/swappable battery option could be available, enhancing convenience for city riders without dedicated charging stations.
Features and Technology
To make it a true game-changer in the EV scooter segment, TVS is likely to integrate some top-tier features, including:
Digital Instrument Cluster: Fully digital speedometer with smartphone connectivity
Smartphone App Integration: Navigation, ride stats, anti-theft alerts, and remote diagnostics
LED Lighting: LED headlamp, taillight, and indicators for better visibility
Reverse Mode: Helps in maneuvering in tight spaces
Regenerative Braking: Enhances battery efficiency by recovering energy during braking
Multiple Riding Modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport mode for different riding styles
Underseat Storage: Large space for a helmet and other essentials
USB Charging Port: For charging mobile devices on the go
Mileage and Performance
One of the most crucial aspects for EV buyers is range or mileage per charge. The TVS Jupiter Electric is expected to offer a range of 75-100 km per full charge, making it suitable for daily commuting. Regenerative braking and multiple riding modes could further optimize mileage depending on usage.
Top Speed
EV scooters generally focus on urban usability rather than high-speed performance. The TVS Jupiter Electric is expected to deliver a top speed of around 65-80 km/h, making it adequate for city roads and occasional highway rides.
Expected Price in India
With the rising competition in the electric scooter market, TVS is expected to price the Jupiter Electric competitively. The estimated ex-showroom price in India is expected to range between ₹85,000 – ₹1,10,000, depending on the variant and battery capacity. Government subsidies for EVs under FAME-II could further reduce the effective cost.
Launch Date in India
TVS has not officially confirmed the launch date of Jupiter Electric, but industry insiders suggest that it could be unveiled in mid-to-late 2024. Given the growing demand for EVs and increasing fuel prices, TVS is likely to fast-track the launch to capitalize on the market opportunity.
The TVS Jupiter Electric is poised to be a game-changer in the EV scooter revolution, offering modern technology, impressive range, and an affordable price tag. With high-quality features, comfortable ride experience, and TVS’s reliability, this electric scooter is expected to compete with the likes of Ola S1, Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak, and Hero Vida V1.
