Indian two-wheeler powerhouse TVS Motor Company has captivated international audiences at EICMA 2026 in Milan by unveiling the production-ready TVS M1-S electric maxi-scooter. Engineered primarily to spearhead TVS’s premium urban mobility expansion across European and developed global markets, the M1-S represents a bold step into the performance commuter space. Featuring a high-density 4.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack delivering an estimated 120 km riding range, a high-torque electric motor producing 17 bhp of peak output, a top speed of 105 km/h, and a 7-inch connected TFT touchscreen with integrated LTE telematics, the M1-S challenges European rivals like the BMW CE 02.

• Spacious stepped dual-level seat with generous lumbar support for the rider and comfortable ergonomic pillion grab handles.
• Central spine chassis layout housing the low-slung battery pack, resulting in a low center of gravity and agile cornering behavior.
