Sri-Lanka gets its first Smart Scooter, thanks to TVS Motors. A few days ago, TVS Motor company crossed the milestone of selling 5-million Apache Motorcycles in India. A day later, they launched their flagship motorcycle in Nepal. Now, the company has gone the extra mile to launch its flagship scooter in the southern Island nation of Sri-Lanka. It will be the first Smart scooter, which the country will get. The scooter features a smart TVS Xconnect platform which establishes a link between the user’s phone and itself, essentially allowing the rider to communicate with it through his phone. The owner can set HUD modes, his own name, destinations map, locate his scooters position, monitor riding characteristics, receive calls, record lap time, and a lot more. A total of 30 new features are accessible through the TVS Xconnect platform.
At the launch, Senior Vice President, International Business, TVS Motor Company, R Dilip, said
