      by

      Image for illustration purpose onlyWith good response to iQube, TVS is looking to strengthen its position in electric 2-wheeler segment by introducing new productsIt was at 2018 Auto Expo when TVS had showcased its Creon e-scooter concept. It is possible that launch was delayed due to the pandemic. Now, a new product is scheduled to be unveiled on August 23, 2023. Based on teasers, it is expected to be the production version of Creon concept electric scooter.TVS has released a new teaser that gives hints about the scooter’s front fascia. It appears to be a lot sportier in comparison to existing iQube. With words like ‘thrill’, TVS could be hinting at a performance-oriented premium lifestyle product. If that’s the case, TVS new electric scooter will take on rivals such as Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X and Simple One.TVS Creon-based electric scooter – new detailsUpcoming new electric scooter from TVS will have a vertically positioned headlamp. As may be recalled, Creon concept e-scooter had a similar setup. The scooter will have a dominating street presence, similar to that of maxi-scooters. In the teaser, one can also get hints of the sporty apron, DRLs and indicators. More details will be revealed in the coming days.It remains to be seen how much of the original Creon concept is retained in the production version. There are likely to be some changes, keeping in mind the practicalities of everyday riding. But one thing is certain that TVS new scooter will be a real head turner on the streets. Test mules spotted on road tests have revealed that the scooter has beefed-up proportions.New TVS Electric scooter headlampFiner details of TVS new electric scooter are hard to decipher due to the full camouflage of test mules. As revealed at the 2018 Auto Expo, Creon e-scooter had sharp panelling, wide handlebar, blacked-out headlamp casing, sporty graphics, dual-tone colour and sleek tail section. The scooter has thick, comfy seat, which should ensure optimal comfort for both rider and pillion.New TVS Electric scooter digital colour screen showing 105 – Is 105 kmph top speed?Another teaser reveals state of the art features, including an all new digital colour screen.

But a lot has changed in the last five years.New TVS Electric scooter – Remote lock / unlockFor example, Ola S1 Pro takes just 4.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph. Similar performance is achievable with Simple One as well. Assuming that TVS is looking to raise the bar with its new electric scooter, things like acceleration, top speed and range will have to be among the best in segment.Talking about top speed, Ola S1 Pro can reach 116 kmph in Warp mode. Simple One and Ather 450X have top speed of 105 kmph and 90 kmph, respectively. In terms of range, Simple One leads the pack with 212 km. Ola S1 Pro is next with 181 km.

Regardless, Hero has achieved just that and is now shifting the gaze from budget commuters, to motorcycles higher up the price range. A premium dealer lineup like Maruti’s Nexa is in the pipeline as well, with more than 100 outlets planned in 2024.Collectively, Hero seems to be making a lot of efforts towards premium bikes, especially when the launch of Karizma XMR 210 is this close. The latest teaser for Karizma XMR 210 shows some design attributes and launch date, which is set on 29th August, 2023. Karizma XMR could be the embodiment of ‘Hero’s are remembered, but legends never die’.New Hero Karizma LED SignatureLatest Hero Karizma XMR TeaserThe company used #LiveTheLegend in the teaser, which is likely to be the new tagline for Karizma XMR 210. For context, OG Karizma R and Karizma ZMR had ‘Jet Set Go’ and ‘Above All’ as their taglines. Hrithik Roshan advertised for both Karizma R and Karizma ZMR. So, Hero has naturally chosen Hrithik Roshan as a promoter for Karizma XMR 210.The Bollywood star is also pushing some content on his social media handles regarding this upcoming motorcycle. This new teaser doesn’t show a lot of details. It is quite short and only highlights some of the bike’s LED headlight. Earlier we got to see its sharp and aggressive fuel tank and 3D metallic Karizma badging that indicate sophistication.The leaked image from a recent dealer showcase shows a lot more details, without any camouflage. A previous teaser reflected the same, highlighting the bike’s side profile. We can see some of the bike’s componentry. Like the front suspension setup is RSU telescopic, there are petal discs for braking with better heat dissipation, stylish alloy wheels and more.All these components will be on-board a new tubular chassis that should strike the right balance between lightness and rigidity. Trellis or diamond type, only launch will reveal. Speaking of, Hero will launch it on 29th August 2023 and will be on offer as the brand’s flagship.The best fully-faired bike of its class?Even though specs are under wraps, we can see a liquid cooling setup with this brand-new 210cc engine. Considering there are two channels going to the head in patents, we can expect a DOHC setup too. Rumour mill suggests possibility of a 6-speed gearbox. Because rivals get it, dual-channel ABS could be a possibility as well.Just like Xtreme 160R 4V, we can expect Karizma XMR 210 Pro in the future with USD forks. In recent spy shots, we can see a larger instrument screen and improved switchgear as well. Power figures could be in the range of 25 bhp and 30 Nm, pitting it against Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and its KTM counterpart RC 200. Pricing could be below Pulsar RS 200 at around Rs. 1.6 lakh (ex-sh).
