The 4.44 kWh lithiumion battery powers the motor, which has a stated 140kilometer range under Indian Driving Conditions (IDC).There are two charging options: a 950W portable charger that needs roughly three hours and forty minutes to reach 80% and a 3 kW home charger that charges the battery from 0% to 50% in about an hour.

Design and Build Quality

Drawn inspiration from the TVS Creon design, the TVS X is sporty and aggressive in its design. Its aluminum twin-spar frame not only lends structural stiffness but also contributes to attaining a lower center of gravity, improving handling dynamics. The scooter has telescopic front forks and an offset rear monoshock, providing a balanced ride across different terrains.​
12-inch alloy wheels with 100/80 front and 110/80 rear tyres give a stable and secure ride. Stopping power comes from 220mm front and 195mm rear disc brakes with a single-channel ABS, which makes it the first scooter in India with this safety feature.​

Technology and Features

The TVS X features a 10.25-inch TFT touchscreen display with a customizable user interface. The screen supports navigation, calls and messages, and even video playback and gaming, creating a new benchmark in scooter infotainment systems.​
The scooter comes with three ride modes: Xtealth, Xtride, and Xonic to suit various ride tastes. Further, the TVS SmartXonnect system includes features such as geo-fencing, anti-theft warning, crash sensor, and OTA updates to keep the scooter connected and updated with new features.​

Pricing and Market Positioning

At a price of ₹2,49,990 (ex-showroom), the TVS X is India’s costliest electric scooter. Interestingly, it does not fall under the FAME-II subsidy, and the charger comes at an additional cost, with the 950W portable charger available for an additional ₹16,275.​
Although the pricing puts the TVS X in the niche market, it captures the premium materials, cutting-edge technology, and performance ability the scooter has to offer. Nevertheless, prospective customers need to balance such features against the price, particularly when buying alternatives in the market.​

Ride Experience and Handling

The TVS X provides a thrilling ride experience, with its fast acceleration and responsive handling. The scooter’s low center of mass and properly dialed-in suspension configuration result in a nifty, urban commute-friendly scooter coupled with high-velocity thrill riding.​

But the front suspension does experience a soft sensation while hard-cornering, a factor that tends to compromise self-confidence at bigger speeds. With that aside, the overall quality of ride stays impressive enough to suit regular rides.

Battery and Charging Infrastructure

The TVS X comes equipped with a 4.44 kWh battery that can facilitate a neat range for everyday commuting needs. The presence of a home and portable charger is convenient for users. Nonetheless, the lack of an included charger and the extra expenditure could be a significant factor in what people might purchase.​

It should be noted that during media test rides, some of the units witnessed sudden motor shutdowns, which TVS attributed to repeated fast charging and aggressive riding during the events. The company is said to be working on these issues to make it reliable.​

For those looking for an electric scooter with high performance and the latest features who are ready to spend on a premium product, the TVS X is a strong contender.
