TVS Apache Electric Bike Patent Leaked: Dual Batteries, Race-Ready Build

TVS Motor Company appears to be gearing up to enter the electric motorcycle market, following its success with the iQube electric scooter. Newly leaked patent images of an upcoming TVS electric bike hint at a fully-faired, performance-oriented machine, possibly positioned under the Apache branding.

Currently, TVS holds a strong position in the electric scooter market with nearly 25% share, but the electric motorcycle space remains largely untapped. The new electric bike could appeal to performance enthusiasts looking for something bold and innovative.

 Key Highlights from the Patent Leak

• Mid-mounted Air-Cooled Motor: The motor casing is similar to the one used in the TVS King electric rickshaw but is expected to feature a completely new powertrain.

• Dual Fixed Battery Packs: Positioned symmetrically on either side of the central frame spine, these fixed units provide balanced weight distribution and a low center of gravity.

• Belt Drive with Multiple Gears: A unique gear arrangement connects the motor to the front sprocket, which may help improve torque or power delivery.

• Single-Sided Swingarm & Monoshock: Adds to the premium look and likely supports enhanced track capability. USD front forks are also expected.

• Fully-Faired Design Likely: Placement of components suggests a race-inspired full fairing, taking cues from the Apache RR310 and RTE electric prototype.

TVS Apache Electric Performance & Range Expectations

TVS has already showcased its electric capabilities with the Apache RTE, which achieved speeds of up to 200 km/h during the TVS Racing Electric One Make Championship. The upcoming production version could mirror some of this performance DNA, potentially offering a range of 120+ km.

Although the dual battery packs are non-removable, which may be a drawback for some consumers, the design seems geared toward racing and performance use rather than urban practicality.

As this is a patent stage development, the official launch is likely a couple of years away.
