TVS Motor Company has launched its much-anticipated Orbiter EV on August 28, 2025, marking another strong step in India’s growing electric mobility landscape. The Orbiter EV is priced at an attractive ₹99,900, designed for the new-age urbanite who seeks modern styling, connected technology, and practical performance.
At this price point it is a very strong competitor to the Hero Vida VX2 which has a similar starting price of ₹99,490, going up to ₹1.10 Lakh.
Let’s compare the two to see which one is best suited for you!
Price and Performance
Given below are the specs for the TVS Orbiter and the Hero Vida VX2 (both variants).

| Price | ₹99,900 | ₹99,490 | ₹1.10 Lakh |
| Price with BaaS | - | ₹44,490 | ₹57,990 |

Given the competitive pricing of the Vida VX2, TVS appears to fall short. Though it is a solid option for those looking to buy a scooter for daily usage, Vida VX2 wins in a landslide.
Verdict — We would recommend the Vida VX2 as it offers a solid and robust model along even with the lower variant. However, if you want longer range, TVS Orbiter does not disappoint.
