As India moves closer to an eco-friendly future, the electric vehicle (EV) industry is growing faster than ever before. In the two-wheeler market, TVS Motor Company has launched the iQube Electric Scooter, a practical and affordable option for everyday riders. With five different versions and a strong 150 km range, the iQube is set to transform how people travel in cities.
Different Models for Different Needs
TVS knows that riders have different budgets and requirements, so the iQube comes in five types. Each model varies in battery size, power, and special features to suit everyone:
-
iQube Standard: The basic version has a smaller battery (2.25 kWh) and a motor that provides 2.1 kW of power. It can travel up to 75 km on a single charge, making it great for short trips in busy areas.
-
iQube S: This model steps up with a 3.4 kWh battery and a stronger 3.4 kW motor, offering a 100 km range. It’s a good mix of performance and price for those who need a bit more distance.
-
iQube ST: The middle option has a 4.4 kWh battery and a 4.4 kW motor, pushing the range to 120 km. It’s ideal for riders who travel longer distances but still want to save money.
-
iQube Pro: With a bigger 5.1 kWh battery and extra features, this version can go up to 140 km, perfect for daily commutes with fewer worries about charging.
-
iQube Max: The top model has the same 5.1 kWh battery but is tuned for maximum efficiency, delivering a 150 km range. It’s designed for riders who want the best performance without compromise.
Prices start at ₹94,999 and go up to ₹1.37 lakh (ex-showroom), making the iQube one of the most affordable electric scooters in India.
Easy to Use, Built for Everyday Life
The iQube’s electric motor provides smooth acceleration, and the faster models can reach speeds of 85 km/h, which works well for both crowded city roads and quieter suburban areas. Riders can switch between Eco Mode (for saving battery) and Power Mode (for quicker speeds), depending on their needs. While the 150 km range is impressive, actual distance may vary based on how you ride, the weight you carry, or whether you’re driving uphill or downhill.
Modern Looks and Helpful Features
The iQube has a clean, stylish design that fits well in urban settings. Some of its standout features include:
-
Bright LED Lights: These improve visibility at night and give the scooter a sleek look.
-
Large Touchscreen Display: A 7-inch color screen connects to your phone, shows maps for navigation, and displays important information like battery level and speed.
-
Smartphone Connectivity: Riders can use their phone to set virtual boundaries (geo-fencing), check the battery status remotely, or even get wireless updates for the scooter’s software.
-
Spacious Storage: The seat opens up to reveal 23 liters of space, enough to store a helmet, groceries, or a small bag.
Charging Is Simple and Flexible
The iQube can be charged at home using a regular 5A electrical socket. The basic model takes about 4.5 hours to fully charge, while the larger batteries in higher-end models need up to 5 hours. Although there’s no fast-charging option yet, TVS is working to add more public charging stations across cities. Government programs like FAME II are also helping build charging infrastructure, making it easier for people to switch to electric vehicles.
Standing Out in a Crowded Market
The iQube competes with popular electric scooters like the Ather 450X and Ola S1. Its biggest advantage is its lower price, especially when combined with state-level discounts. For example, in states like Maharashtra and Delhi, government subsidies can bring the cost down even further, making it cheaper than many petrol-powered scooters over time.
Final Thoughts: A Smart Step Forward
The TVS iQube shows how electric vehicles can be both affordable and high-quality. By offering five models with varying ranges and features, TVS ensures there’s an option for every kind of rider—whether you’re a student, a office worker, or someone who needs a reliable vehicle for daily errands. As more charging stations pop up across India, the iQube’s practicality and low running costs make it a smart choice for anyone looking to save money and reduce pollution.
With its user-friendly design, modern technology, and focus on making electric travel accessible, the TVS iQube isn’t just another scooter—it’s a step toward cleaner, quieter, and more efficient cities. Whether you’re zipping through traffic or cruising down a wide road, the iQube proves that going electric doesn’t mean giving up convenience or style.
