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.

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.
