TL;DR
TVS Motor Company has teased the M1-S electric maxi-scooter, an urban-focused model developed with ION Mobility, set for its global debut at EICMA 2025 with a likely India launch.
TVS Motor Company has provided a glimpse of its upcoming M1-S electric maxi-scooter, which is slated for its global debut at the prestigious EICMA 2025 motorcycle show in Milan next month. Developed in collaboration with Singapore-based ION Mobility, a startup in which TVS holds a strategic investment, the M1-S aims to combine sporty aesthetics with advanced EV performance, specifically targeting urban commuters in emerging markets.
The teaser images reveal an aggressive front design, characterized by twin LED headlamps and sharp, eyebrow-style Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that also function as turn indicators. While the EICMA showcase marks the scooter's European premiere, an India launch is highly anticipated, although not yet officially confirmed. Given TVS's aggressive push in the domestic electric vehicle market, the M1-S could emerge as a strong contender.
The initial rollout for the M1-S is expected in Indonesia, where ION Mobility has an established presence, followed by potential expansion into India and other regions. With an expected competitive price point of under ₹1.5 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, the electric maxi-scooter is positioned to challenge existing premium electric scooter rivals like the Ather Rizta and Bajaj Chetak, offering consumers another compelling option in the evolving electric two-wheeler segment.
