The first thing you notice about the Orbiter is the size. It's a compact scooter and doesn't look as big as it does in the photos. But because its design is very square, and a big flyscreen sits upright in the front, it has good road presence. It definitely doesn't look low-cost. In fact, it looks very funky and cool.

The elements are thoroughly modern and non-affordable too. The connected DRLs look cool and double up as indicators. The tail lamp also looks like connected car lights, and once again the indicators are well integrated. The only thing that looks a bit off is the scooter from the rear. The low seat height and the compact tail set make it look small. However, this will also look approachable to newer riders, giving them more confidence.

Another quirky element of this scooter is the grab rails. Depending on the color, you either get modern-looking grab rails or very simple ones. TVS says you will have the choice at the dealership to select the one you want, but this does feel a bit over the top.
