TVS X vs TVS Creon - Design and Structure 

A few visible differences between the concept and production versions have been noted. The TVS X has a two seat layout instead of the Creon's single rider seat and covers for both brake levers. Vertical slit-style headlight in the front and the angular looks on the apron have been retained from the Creon concept. The blue aluminium frame of X's under seat panels is clearly visible, unlike the Creon's, which had it covered beneath its bodywork. An efficient single-sided swingarm, an offset rear monoshock, and the front telescopic fork have all been carried over from Creon's chassis. The Creon concept already included disc brakes at both ends, but TVS X has also incorporated single-channel ABS, making it the first e-scooter in the nation to do so.

TVS X vs TVS Creon - Technological Features 

The Creon prototype included a colour TFT display, but the X now features a significantly larger 10.25 inches touch screen display, with a wide range of features, that lets you connect the scooter to your phone and smartwatch and gives on-board navigation. The wallpaper and the arrangement of the icons can all be changed. This display was developed in collaboration with Intel and has a Smart Xhield technology which shows alerts for crashes, overspeeding, theft alarm, geofencing, etc.
