Powered by a 4.4 kW hub motor, the iQube ST achieves a top speed of 78 km/h, accelerating from 0-40 kmph in 4.2 seconds. It offers two riding modes - Eco and Power, helping balance efficiency and performance. The 5.1 kWh battery delivers a claimed 145 km range, with real-world tests reporting 100-120 km in mixed conditions. Fast charging (0-80% in 4.5 hours) is a highlight, though its performance feels less spirited compared to the Ola S1 Pro’s higher top speed and quicker acceleration.

The iQube ST boasts a practical, understated design with clean lines and a premium finish. Available in multiple colors, including Mercury Grey and Copper Bronze, it features LED lighting and a sleek, aerodynamic look. The 32-liter under-seat storage fits a full-face helmet, and the flat floorboard enhances utility. Build quality is solid, with a mix of metal and high-grade plastics, surpassing the Ola S1 X Plus but falling slightly short of the Bajaj Chetak’s metal-heavy construction. The 7-inch TFT display adds a modern touch, though some users note the design lacks the flair of the Ola S1 Pro.

The iQube ST includes robust safety features: LED lighting, dual disc brakes, a side-stand sensor, and an anti-theft alarm. It also offers regenerative braking, which extends range, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on higher variants. However, it lacks advanced features like traction control or ABS, which are available on the Ather 450X. The scooter’s sturdy build and reliable braking outperform the Ola S1 X Plus, but its safety suite is less comprehensive than the Ather Rizta’s.

Ola S1 Pro - The Ola S1 Pro is priced lower at ₹1.16 lakh and offers a higher, 120 kmph top speed and quicker acceleration (0-40 kmph in 2.6 seconds). It also includes advanced features like cruise control and a larger 8-inch touchscreen. The iQube ST offers a smoother ride, better build quality, and faster charging (4.5 hours vs. 6.5 hours). Its 32-liter storage, family-oriented design, and TVS’s extensive service network make it a more practical choice over the Ola.

Ather Ritza -  At ₹1.09 lakh, the Ritza is more affordable, offers a plusher ride, and includes advanced features like Google Maps integration and a larger 7-inch touchscreen. Ather’s service network is also highly reliable. The iQube ST has a slightly better claimed range (145 km vs. 125 km) and faster charging. Its dual disc brakes provide stronger stopping power compared to the Rizta’s disc-drum setup, and the TPMS adds a safety edge.

Bajaj Chetak Premium - The Chetak Premium (₹1.15 lakh) boasts superior build quality with a full-metal body and a retro design with broader appeal. It also includes keyless entry and a more established service network. The iQube ST offers a longer claimed range (145 km vs. 126 km) and a slightly higher top speed (78 kmph vs. 73 kmph). Its TFT display and fast charging outshine the Chetak’s basic LCD and slower charging (6 hours).

The 2025 TVS iQube ST is a premium electric scooter that excels in comfort, practicality, and urban usability, making it ideal for family-oriented commuters. Its 100-120 km real-world range, fast charging, and robust features like a 7-inch TFT display and dual disc brakes make it a strong contender. However, its high price of ₹1.4-1.6 lakh, limited top speed, and lack of advanced safety features like ABS hold it back against rivals like the Ola S1 Pro and Ather Rizta. For buyers prioritizing refinement and service reliability, the iQube ST is a great choice, but cost-conscious riders may find better value elsewhere.
