TVS iQube

The iQube’s 4.4kW BLDC hub motor generates 33nm, hitting 0-40 kmph in 4.2 seconds. It offers Eco (75-78 kmph) and Power modes, with ranges of 75 km (2.2 kWh), 100 km (3.4 kWh), or 150 km (5.1 kWh). Charging takes 2-4.5 hours, with the 5.1 kWh variant needing 5 hours for 0-80%. Real-world range averages 50-60 kmpl equivalent, yielding 260-780 km per charge cycle. It’s vibration-free, but range drops in Power mode or with a pillion.

The TVS iQube boasts a sleek, family-friendly design with a sharp LED headlamp, U-shaped DRLs, and a streamlined body. Its 32-litre under-seat storage and flat footboard boost practicality. Available in 12 colors—Pearl White, Walnut Brown, Shining Red, Titanium Grey Glossy, Copper Bronze Glossy, Mercury Grey, Mint Blue, Copper Bronze Matte, Straight Blue, Celebration Orange, Titanium Grey Matte, and Celebration Edition dual-tones—it caters to varied tastes. The 5-inch or 7-inch TFT display (S/ST variants) with joystick navigation adds a tech edge, though plastic-heavy panels and basic switchgear feel less premium than rivals like the Ather 450X.

Priced at ₹1.07-1.60 lakh, the iQube competes with the Ather 450S, Ola S1 Air, and Bajaj Chetak. The Ather 450S (₹1.30 lakh) offers a 150 km range and sportier handling but is pricier. The Ola S1 Air (₹1.05 lakh) is cheaper with 151 km range but less refined. The Chetak (₹1.15 lakh) has a 123 km range and family appeal. The iQube’s storage, connectivity, and reliability stand out for urban families.

The TVS iQube is a tech-savvy, eco-friendly scooter ideal for urban commuters. Its silent motor, up to 150 km range, and features like SmartXonnect and ample storage excel in cities. Plastic quality, soft brakes, and occasional service hiccups are drawbacks, but its comfort and efficiency impress. For riders seeking a reliable, feature-packed e-scooter, it’s a strong choice, though thrill-seekers may prefer sportier options.
