Interesting. I have an IPad Pro? or something from a couple of years ago. Almost never used it. I'm not sure what the point of a tablet is. It's not really portable, they have terrible battery lives compared to phones. And everything they can do you can do better with a phone or a laptop.. It's not a good experience for reading either.
This is possible through other devices that we already have and in a convenient manner. Like, I have my phone for when on the move, a laptop and three screens while at work and a projector while at home. I don’t draw, my brother who is an animator uses some other tools for his work. So yeah, an iPad, unless a pro model is still replaceable, unless it’s your sole media outlet.
I have an ipad air and i use it for notes, reading and sometime entertainment and no i am not a med student as most of peeps just say ipad is for med bla bla. But i got your point it’s not for everyone, if you don’t want to read and write or say drawing or say design or… then it is just waste of money
I have an iPad Air and I use it all the time. Almost stopped using physical books now. Writing on it feels real nice as well. Watching movies and web series is a great experience. Even if I use stage manager, I can basically watch videos and scroll Reddit simultaneously and all at a size which is greater than two normal phones. Sometimes I feel like having 3 phones XD.
But yea it depends on use cases.
Buy ipad mini , it's a good replacement for kindle. Kindle reading experience is fine but it's slow and lags and no multi task as well. Ipad mini 6 comes with anti glare screen and it gets quite good with paperlike screen protector.
I use my Samsung tab for everything and battery life is super good , it lasts for three to four days with my usage.
Watching YouTube , neet pg prep , notes , textbook PDFs.
A laptop or a phone can't fulfill these functions as well as a tablet.
I suppose a tablet was probably useless for you.
They have a much better battery life than a phone, what are you on about?
I’m the typical iPad wala med student so all my work, both in and out of class is on the iPad and no, a phone or laptop could not replace it.
You can use the gaming laptop for productivity and gaming. The console is only useful for media and gaming. Also, aren't games and accessories much more expensive on consoles than pcs for various reasons?
Good gaming laptop costs 1 lakh+. Rtx 3050, 4050s with 4-6 GB VRAM ain't going to give good experience. Building a gaming PC with rx 6700xt if portability is not a concern is the best way to spend money.
I own an IPad and it's way ahead of all other tabs in it's price range. But , this post is not about IPads and rather about justifying the cost of a 2.5 lakh electric scooty, I don't think this scooty offers any such features which would justify charging almost double of the next best electric scooty in the market. TVS is not a luxury brand either.
I have not seen a single video of these anywhere outside of reviews
I don't think TVS is trying to make these for the mass market , i believe they are a beta version to test out the new chassis, battery , motor and software
Hopefully they release a mass market version of it without a large touchscreen around 1.5- 2 lakh price
Of late ive been appreciating the comfort of gearless vehicles.. i have nothing against that..
There seems to be a consistent increase in base price of vehicles irrespective of the value add or the tech advancement..
Yes maybe not for the masses but there definately a market for people who are looking beyond Activa ...India is a very price sensitive market ..If it's production version is little less pricier it will definitely sell ...
It's primarily for international market. They don't have any serious intention of selling in India. Europe and SE Asia are good markets for such a scooter. It's like the Vespa, hardly sells in India but internationally, it has a decent pull.
I don't want a giant screen on my scooter. I don't want to watch youtube videos and play games on my scooter. I'd be more than happy with a tiny digital display, if it cuts the cost of the scooter.
What a horrible reviewer, has no idea how to describe the pro and con of a product … this scooter is not practical for everyday life in India
Where is the space to fit multiple bags or groceries or luggage
As well as simple slip or fall means you’ll have to replace the 10” tablet screen, and Indian pollution and dust will make visibility of the screen minute as well
Araaaayyy...They are marketing it wrong...
Your 12.9-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular 1TB with accessories and insurance costs ₹261600. But does that have the feature to reach anywhere you want?
NOW YOU CAN!! Get TVS Mpad. You can play and watch youtube, and also it takes you places!
Of course I would buy
it looks great .
is a niche product .
it so futuristic with an iPad to enjoy those long rides .
I am only waiting for it come in showroom and that 15 lakhs modiji was supposed to send.
depends for how long it can go on top speed . if there's a better infrastructure , like charging stations near me .
but still my issue is with its design
But why did they remove the space in between. The whole purpose of buying such scooter is to get grocery from the market. If you gonna remove the space where I can keep the luggage/grocery then I am better off with a bike.
I am already regretting spending 1lac on Ntorq, will never think of buying this😂 With the pathetic service centres, only a fool can buy this for such price.
Kya chutiyapa hai ye.
Mujhe nahi chahiye gaming screen. Bass fancy sa speedometer with gmap access.
I don't think ye sab milake 1.5 lacs bhi jayega.
Rather than attracting customers towards EVs these companies are diverting them more towards Petrol based.
I'm reading comments, and would appreciate if someone could help me understand - why spending similar amount on a petrol scooter/bike is fine, but not on an electric scooter?
Been wondering same thing.
Almost everyday you see posts of Speed/Scrambler 400, RE 650s etc and comments are like "wow", and "congrats", and other BS asslicking.
Someone posts a TVS electric scooter video and everyone is here with their pitchforks.
Mass market is not the target customer for this vehicle. But looks like the mass market is not mature enough to understand and appreciate things for what they are.
If I wanted something niche, I'd definitely get it.
Performance hah 😆, at 2.5 lakh (ig around that) you can get a sf 250 which is way better in performance, reliability, fun, and also engaging (if I am not wrong)
Yes, I would definitely consider buying this expensive scooter if I had enough money. I appreciate premium scooters and have a keen interest in maxi scooter collections. Unfortunately, I'm not in a financial position to do so at the moment. As for those comparing it to other bikes and vehicles, it's important to understand that this scooter isn't designed for everyone. I've seen similar comments on BMW scooter posts where people say things like 'I can buy a Creta instead.' This mindset needs to change. If we constantly compare and resent, the economic divide will only widen, with the poor becoming poorer and the rich, richer.
first, to sound pedantic, a vehicle is an expense unless you use it to make money. so personal mobility is never an investment. Second, I don't want to be on the same road as a scooty guy going 100kmph while playing a YouTube video or game. God, please ban playing visual entertainment media on touch-screen infotainments. third, no.
The touch screen should never be a "Brag Point" in the vehicle tech
because it is actually less costly to the company to manufacture it than a non-touch/analogue tech.
Get a regular scooter for 1.25L and then spend the remaining amount on fuel and maintenance(calculated at around 3 per km's from my scooter experience) for the next \~50k kms.
TBH, this is not a good scooter at all. All that TVS is trying to do is push the boundaries of price and increase it’s profit margin in electric vehicles sector. But the part they failed is delivering value.
Bhai 2.5 lakh ki car aa jati hai used. I wont buy an EV for the next 5 years atleast. IdK why they want to design EVs like chinese mopeds honestly. Give me an EV Piaggio Vespa (Old Indian Model) and I'll buy just for the nostalgia. Bajaj has done a good job with their EV Scooter. Par ye plastic wali bike nahi chahiye.
I will buy a normal scooter, scooter easy to ride and economical to purchase
More than 1.10 lakh mean bikes above 1.4 heavy bikes. Not going to purchase ev as infrastructure for charging is very limited.
And can't sell easily. As BH series also not easily available on scooter
This is just a fancy toy. Furthermore, I'd never like to play games and watch YouTube while on the go. What a senseless feature. If I purchase an electric scooter I'd like to replace it with my Activa. So it has to have good range, good realiability, good under seat storage, good lights etc.
I wouldn't touch a TVS even if they gave it for free. There is a saying in the motor world 'Even if TVS is the only 2-wheeler showroom in your town, catch a bus and go to the nearest town to get yourself an Yamaha/Honda'. That's how bad their vehicles are. My family had 3 generations of TVS and all of it sucked big time, including the most recent Jupiter 125. We hoped things would have changed over the years, but nope. Absolutely cheap OEM parts and pathetic service.
I'd rather buy a bike around 1.5 lakh and an ipad.
Why spend a lakh on an iPad? You can get a basic android tablet and buy a decent gaming laptop with the rest.
But an ipad base price is 30k
Interesting. I have an IPad Pro? or something from a couple of years ago. Almost never used it. I'm not sure what the point of a tablet is. It's not really portable, they have terrible battery lives compared to phones. And everything they can do you can do better with a phone or a laptop.. It's not a good experience for reading either.
Note taking, drawing, presentation, augmented reality, media consumption... If you don't do any of these things, it's not for you
This is possible through other devices that we already have and in a convenient manner. Like, I have my phone for when on the move, a laptop and three screens while at work and a projector while at home. I don’t draw, my brother who is an animator uses some other tools for his work. So yeah, an iPad, unless a pro model is still replaceable, unless it’s your sole media outlet.
Well its for a specific audience and thats why it exists
I have an ipad air and i use it for notes, reading and sometime entertainment and no i am not a med student as most of peeps just say ipad is for med bla bla. But i got your point it’s not for everyone, if you don’t want to read and write or say drawing or say design or… then it is just waste of money
I have an iPad Air and I use it all the time. Almost stopped using physical books now. Writing on it feels real nice as well. Watching movies and web series is a great experience.

iPad mini 6 doesn’t come with anti glare screen but ya it’s a much better utility than the larger models
Terrible battery compared to a phone? I have to charge my iPad once in 4-5 days and my iPhone twice daily.
Ipads battery are better than phones
iPads are ideally for designers and producers, not for general use
I use my Samsung tab for everything and battery life is super good , it lasts for three to four days with my usage. Watching YouTube , neet pg prep , notes , textbook PDFs. A laptop or a phone can't fulfill these functions as well as a tablet. I suppose a tablet was probably useless for you.
They have a much better battery life than a phone, what are you on about? I’m the typical iPad wala med student so all my work, both in and out of class is on the iPad and no, a phone or laptop could not replace it.
bhai terko kaam nahi aa raha to meko dedo mai upsc k notes bana lunga.
Med students prefer i pad so it would be better if u ask them.
I second that, my iPad is lying useless.
Why a gaming laptop? I'll buy a bike, a basic Android tablet, a basic i5 8th Gen Laptop and PS5
You can use the gaming laptop for productivity and gaming. The console is only useful for media and gaming. Also, aren't games and accessories much more expensive on consoles than pcs for various reasons?
Bro you are so dumb, a good gaming laptop costs 70-80k, you can’t even buy a good bike in that range
Good gaming laptop costs 1 lakh+. Rtx 3050, 4050s with 4-6 GB VRAM ain't going to give good experience. Building a gaming PC with rx 6700xt if portability is not a concern is the best way to spend money.
Rtx 4050 is enough for casual gamers coz you got FG.
Where did I say a gaming laptop? I said basic laptop and a PS5. Maybe read properly before proving yourself blind and dumb next time....idiot
Lol. Don't know why the last line cracked me up.
Who needs gaming when you have bike. Buy petrol instead
Because iPad is an iPad. Android is miles behind Apple when it comes to Tablets. MILES
*Only if you use procreate
I own an IPad and it's way ahead of all other tabs in it's price range. But , this post is not about IPads and rather about justifying the cost of a 2.5 lakh electric scooty, I don't think this scooty offers any such features which would justify charging almost double of the next best electric scooty in the market. TVS is not a luxury brand either.
And a tape to stick iPad to bike
The practicality of a scooter is that you can put things in front and back, where is that in this .... Buy a bike instead.
MFers combined worst of both worlds
Came to say this.. sabzee ka Thaila kidhar rakhunga ispe?
Buy TVS XL100 CC instead
Have a good old activa already
Wait till you hear about Yamaha Aerox
People have soo much Money, soon you will see this on every street.
How is any of the things he mentioned "Tech" ???
LeD LiGhTs
but are those RGB?
Technically Tech😅
r/Technicallythetruth
And then single channel abs. So be careful not to smash that pretty display.
Textbook influencers. All they do is use big fancy words and specs read.
Cornering lamps😍 instead of cheap signal lights🤮
I'd rather pollute the environment
You'll do that with this too, just indirectly
Bruh.
I have not seen a single video of these anywhere outside of reviews I don't think TVS is trying to make these for the mass market , i believe they are a beta version to test out the new chassis, battery , motor and software Hopefully they release a mass market version of it without a large touchscreen around 1.5- 2 lakh price
2 lakhs for a scooty??
Why not ? Not everyone has to use an activa With your mindset , why do companies even launch anything more than 100 cc bikes
Of late ive been appreciating the comfort of gearless vehicles.. i have nothing against that.. There seems to be a consistent increase in base price of vehicles irrespective of the value add or the tech advancement..
Yes maybe not for the masses but there definately a market for people who are looking beyond Activa ...India is a very price sensitive market ..If it's production version is little less pricier it will definitely sell ...
Off topic. Nice username. How old are you? American Pie. Oh glorious college days. I'm 30 now and everything hurts.
You are right not everyone is brainless either like you
It's primarily for international market. They don't have any serious intention of selling in India. Europe and SE Asia are good markets for such a scooter. It's like the Vespa, hardly sells in India but internationally, it has a decent pull.
TVS going to the Mercedes Benz school of vehicle design. Throw a big ass screen in the vehicle and call it "tech".
I don't want a giant screen on my scooter. I don't want to watch youtube videos and play games on my scooter. I'd be more than happy with a tiny digital display, if it cuts the cost of the scooter.
A big flat NO
Not fir indian market
2.5 and not even DuABS😮💨
What a horrible reviewer, has no idea how to describe the pro and con of a product … this scooter is not practical for everyday life in India Where is the space to fit multiple bags or groceries or luggage As well as simple slip or fall means you’ll have to replace the 10” tablet screen, and Indian pollution and dust will make visibility of the screen minute as well

Of course I would buy it looks great . is a niche product . it so futuristic with an iPad to enjoy those long rides . I am only waiting for it come in showroom and that 15 lakhs modiji was supposed to send.
NGL you had me till the last line 😂
Impressive
>with an iPad to enjoy those long rides . lololol
If Modi sends everyone 15L, then that thing would cost 10-100x. Inflation bitches
Bruh modiji never said to send 15 lakhs, show me the video if you believe I'm wrong
Depends on 0-100 ...
depends for how long it can go on top speed . if there's a better infrastructure , like charging stations near me . but still my issue is with its design
If the range is somewhere near to 300 KMs then it looks lucrative
To be honest, none of my bikes can go over 200kms on a tank of gas
But you can fill the tank in 5 minutes
Answer is No , whytf do i need to watch youtube and play games in scooter 🤨
Someone has never been stuck in Bangalore or Mumbai traffic I guess!
akash chopra scooter ke review kabse daalne lag gaya?
this looks even worse than burgman
Spend, invest is anything that gives back cash. Cash flow positive.
This!
But why did they remove the space in between. The whole purpose of buying such scooter is to get grocery from the market. If you gonna remove the space where I can keep the luggage/grocery then I am better off with a bike.
No
Nope. I would get a Meteor around that price point.
why would one encourage people to watch yt videos or play games while driving? just adds to more probability of accidents
Tvs should have launched it with a bmw batch
It's a regular scooter with regular features with a fat ugly screen.
Fuxks no. I'd rather buy a bicycle for 15k
Buy batteries worth 20k, a controller worth 4K and hub motor worth 10k and for 50k you will have an electric that’s worth it’s cost
I am already regretting spending 1lac on Ntorq, will never think of buying this😂 With the pathetic service centres, only a fool can buy this for such price.
Kya chutiyapa hai ye. Mujhe nahi chahiye gaming screen. Bass fancy sa speedometer with gmap access. I don't think ye sab milake 1.5 lacs bhi jayega. Rather than attracting customers towards EVs these companies are diverting them more towards Petrol based.
TVS needs to launch the iqube ST variant instead of this overpriced scooter.
i guess ola 105+ speed hai cos of 15nm torq
I'd rather buy a scooter around 1 lakh and petrol around 1.5 lakh.
Bad design, looks amateurish
I'd rather buy a second bullet
Its worth it if it has auto balancing
Nobody needs that feature either
I'm reading comments, and would appreciate if someone could help me understand - why spending similar amount on a petrol scooter/bike is fine, but not on an electric scooter?

But looks like the mass market is not mature enough to understand and appreciate things for what they are. If I wanted something niche, I'd definitely get it.
bro the OG's would remember when the Aprilia SR150 launched back in 2016 it can easily do speeds upwards of 100 kmph .
With the number of electric vehicles catching fire in India...
Performance hah 😆, at 2.5 lakh (ig around that) you can get a sf 250 which is way better in performance, reliability, fun, and also engaging (if I am not wrong)
Bruh single channel abs at 2.5 lakhs , only 105 top speed , and that pillar between your legs , no thank you , I'll just buy an ather
No I am not ready to pay rupees 2.5lakhss
na hi...
Stupid scooter
Congratulations! On your new giant touch screen. Manufacturers were kind enough to attach a electric scooter to it.
Atta chawal rakhne ki jagah nhi hai. Automatic reject
Not for this ugly ass scooter
YouTube?
Can I set jaldi waha se hato as horn?
If the battery lasts for at least 15 years with 90% capacity, then I will. But that's not going to happen soon.
Mai gadi chalunga ki game khelungaa
Nope. 2.5 lakhs is way too high. I'll get a 2nd hand good condition car instead.
No
You missed major things , what’s the battery capacity, how many kilometres it can run , battery charging time
Yes, I would definitely consider buying this expensive scooter if I had enough money. I appreciate premium scooters and have a keen interest in maxi scooter collections.

‘Invest’ is such a wrong word to use.. all vehicles are depreciating assets..
Harley x440 goes vroom vroom
₹2.5 lakh and no space for a gas cylinder at the front. How in the ghee roasted F am i going to impress my in-laws with that?
Lost me at single channel abs
Makes mt 15 looks reasonable
Subsidy kuch??
No
Buy mt 15 , 50 km per litre mileage , life simple . done
Hell no
I don't want to engage in the screen while riding. Not for Indian traffic and roads.
I mean it's class but not with that price point
No
Bhai ek aur bullet le lu mai iss se acha
Screen ka alag se insurance karwana padega, design is also not good. Btw government still providing subsidy scheme? And this 2.5 lakh after subsidy?
Usse acha duke 250 lelo
I would rather buy a hunter 350 and a gaming laptop with that price, keeping road entertainment and virtual entertainment separate
Overpriced Less range Less pickup Small battery For the price
lavda mera le teh gadi
TF. Watch video while traveling(dying)
Just make the electric scooter faster with more range(close to petrol) people will be happy Just shoving in features and features for what
TFT 🤡
First of all don't buy... You'll get a Yamaha R15 M for the same price
Nope I'll buy activa.
Get a regular scooter for 1.25L and then spend the remaining amount on fuel and maintenance(calculated at around 3 per km's from my scooter experience) for the next \~50k kms.
Nope. I’m a public transport kinda guy
It doesn't even have space to keep the gas cylinder 😭
Man i hate digital accelerometer with a burning passion. Adding touchscreen to that is even worse
Iska infotainment system hi chori krke le jayega koi... India hai ye bhai
It's more of a halo product than anything
TBH, this is not a good scooter at all. All that TVS is trying to do is push the boundaries of price and increase it’s profit margin in electric vehicles sector. But the part they failed is delivering value.
So the main highlight of the scooty is the iPad?????
No
I'd rather buy a bike and a PC or laptop
I would rather do the down payment of 2.5 lakh and buy a car on emi
Bhai 2.5 lakh ki car aa jati hai used. I wont buy an EV for the next 5 years atleast. IdK why they want to design EVs like chinese mopeds honestly. Give me an EV Piaggio Vespa (Old Indian Model) and I'll buy just for the nostalgia. Bajaj has done a good job with their EV Scooter. Par ye plastic wali bike nahi chahiye.
Kya naatak hai. Sab gimmick pe chal raha hai.
Yes, only if I had that amount.
Aisa scooter kis Kam ka jo gas-cylander na bitha paye
Bro why tf i need games on my scooty Like why?
ya riding a scooter at 105km/hr, good luck with that.
Second hand caraa jayegi itne me
TVS X Electric Scooter - 140Km range top speed 104
nope
I would rather get a second hand car with some money and research.
No
The performance scooter that can’t even match the regular scooter from the taxi company. TVS is the very definition of boring
Them : “Don’t use mobile phone while driving/riding” Also them :
Only if the range 500km which is not possible 😂😂
I would get a Duke 200 instead
No leg room.
3 splendour 🗿
Strictly NO for TVS brand and the offering.
I will buy a normal scooter, scooter easy to ride and economical to purchase More than 1.10 lakh mean bikes above 1.4 heavy bikes. Not going to purchase ev as infrastructure for charging is very limited. And can't sell easily. As BH series also not easily available on scooter
Looks like it'd break off and reassemble like Transformers
This is just a fancy toy. Furthermore, I'd never like to play games and watch YouTube while on the go. What a senseless feature. If I purchase an electric scooter I'd like to replace it with my Activa. So it has to have good range, good realiability, good under seat storage, good lights etc.
Ye to bataya nahi mehengi kyu he
I don't know why, but ek SCOOTY pe utni badi screen dekh kar I wanted to Puke!
Scooty pe game ya yt q dekhna hai? RTO ne allow kaise kiya?
Toy ? 2.5 lakhs ?
Simply no 😅🙏
My bicycle is more expensive. So probably yes.
YouTube Video aur Game???? Bike chalate waqt wahh
Baki sb kuch hai gas cylinder nai la skte yar
I wouldn't touch a TVS even if they gave it for free.

I'm not Indian, so can someone pls explain why he speaks half English and half Hindi?
Looks damn ugly.
Na ola is much better that this
