TVS Motor Company has showcased its
performance-oriented electric scooter, the TVS Creon concept at the 2018 Auto
Expo in Greater Noida. The Creon is designed
keeping in mind the global dream for a green future and uncompromising
performance.
The scooter also gets smart connected technologies on board, which
the brand has developed in collaboration with Intel. The concept is equipped
with a TFT Screen which displays the speedometer; battery charge and health
status; tachometer; trip meter and odometer. The vehicle is app-enabled and
offers a host of features including cloud connectivity; 3 custom riding modes;
regenerative braking; park assist; anti-theft; GPS & navigation, and
geo-fencing.
At the heart, TVS Creon concept employs a pack of 3
Lithium ion batteries capable of delivering 12 kW of power. The company has
specifically designed the batteries to ensure high charge per volume. This
helps to keep the overall dimensions of the TVS Creon compact and maintain
everyday practicality. The scooter is built on a light weight aluminium
perimeter frame. The electric motor propels the scooter from 0-60 kmph in 5.1
seconds, and has a range of 80 km. The battery can charge up to 80% in 60
minutes.
The diamond-cut alloy wheels are shod with TVS
Remora tubeless tyres, and the brakes include discs on both ends, with single channel
ABS. For suspension, it uses front telescopic forks, and a rear offset
monoshock. Lighting system is all-LED, and the underseat storage is big enough
to store a full-face helmet. There’s a smartphone charger as well.
