TVS Creon was showcased at an earlier Auto Expo, which was positioned as a performance electric scooter. It came packed with a fully digital speedometer with Bluetooth connection, GPS Navigation and Geo Fencing.
It came with three lithium-ion battery packs, which produced nearly 12 Kw of power. The scooter sprints from 0-60 km/hr in 5.1 seconds flat, which is a great feat by a scooter.
The riding range offered onboard is nearly 80 kms. It takes 1 hour to charge up to 80% with the aid of a fast charger. Further details will come out once the launch is closer.
For suspension, it might use telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the back, rather than the offset shock-up on the concept. Disc brake at the front and a rear drum brake with single-ABS might also be offered.
