The fully-electric concept scooter has a range of 80 km and takes just an hours worth of charging to fill the battery up to 80 percent. According to a report by Overdrive, the TVS Creon looks and feels every bit a racing-oriented scooter, especially with an exposed silver-finish frame running through the middle of the scooter. The scooter’s name is also seen lettered on the side to bring forth its racing DNA. The single seat is tapered towards the tail, making it look more like a sports bike rather than an electric scooter.
