Three Bespoke TVS X Electric Scooters Revealed - Auctioned Off For Charity
TVS Motor Company has showcased the TVS X in three one-off custom art editions in Bengaluru. The three bespoke electric scooters were auctioned off for charity at the firm's curated TVS X Collectors' Soirée event held in Bengaluru over the weekend.
The TVS X Collector's Soiree event marked the first of a series of such curated experiences, which will see TVS explore India's art and cultural narratives by using the TVS X as a canvas.
The three custom versions of the TVS X electric scooter were developed in collaboration with fashion designer Manoviraj Khosla. The event and the auction that followed explored how the TVS X could serve as a canvas for cultural storytelling.
Each of the three TVS X art editions draws inspiration from Karnataka's artistic and cultural heritage. The three themes explored by the trio of concepts include architectural elements from Hampi, traditional Channapatna craft, and Mysuru's royal design influences. Manoviraj Khosla added, "Design here was integral from the start, transforming the TVS X into a moving canvas that brings together material, form, and narrative."
These inspirations have been interpreted through contemporary materials and finishes, resulting in visually distinct, collectible versions of the TVS X electric scooter. Also shown off were bespoke merchandise for collectors also developed in collaboration with designer Manoviraj Khosla.
Proceeds from the collector's auction will be directed to A Hundred Hands, a non-profit organisation working with artisan communities across Karnataka. The proceeds will be used to reinforce the non-profit's focus on supporting sustainable livelihoods while preserving traditional craft practices.
Gaurav Gupta, President - India Two Wheeler Business, TVS Motor Company, said, "Progress without culture is incomplete. With TVS X, we're bringing Indian art and architectural heritage into a contemporary form, and the first chapter in Karnataka, marks the start of a larger journey across India. We're using TVS X as a canvas to reinterpret India's art & cultural heritage, where ownership becomes participation in sustaining it and draws inspiration from it."
Mala Dhawan, Founder of A Hundred Hands, stated: "This initiative goes beyond ownership, supporting artisans by creating meaningful value and connecting craftsmanship with the right audience."
The TVS X is positioned as the brand's premium electric scooter with a price tag of ₹2.64 lakh and serves as the base for these custom builds. Through the TVS X Collector's Soiree initiative, TVS is exploring the role of its mobility products beyond utility, positioning them within design and cultural narratives.
