At the heart, TVS Creon concept employs a pack of 3 Lithium ion batteries capable of delivering 12 kW of power. The company has specifically designed the batteries to ensure high charge per volume.

The diamond-cut alloy wheels are shod with TVS Remora tubeless tyres, and the brakes include discs on both ends, with single channel ABS. For suspension, it uses front telescopic forks, and a rear offset monoshock. Lighting system is all-LED, and the underseat storage is big enough to store a full-face helmet. There’s a smartphone charger as well.
