If you’re tired of EVs that scream “futuristic” but forget what it’s like to actually ride every day, the TVS iQube is your quiet superhero. No gimmicks, no overkill—just a smooth, city-tuned electric scooter that’s been built with purpose.
It’s not trying to win drag races or steal the spotlight in a showroom. It’s made for people like you and me who just want a reliable, comfortable and clean ride through daily traffic.
Design
One look at the iQube and you’ll get it—it’s minimalist done right. Clean lines, an all-LED lighting setup (yes, the taillights are as adorable as they are sharp), and not a speck of chrome in sight. It carries a soft, premium vibe—think of it like riding a silk-wrapped smartphone on wheels.
And despite being future-forward, the design doesn’t feel alien. It’s approachable, familiar even—like the modern cousin of the scooty you already trust. The seat is generously padded, the handlebars promote upright riding, and the floorboard’s wide enough for daily bags, water bottles, or even your furry little passenger.
Powertrain
This is where it gets interesting. The iQube uses a 4.4 kW hub motor that generates 140 Nm of torque—and that means zippy getaways at red lights without that rollercoaster jerk. No waiting for revs, no delay—just a smooth, silent push forward. And if you’re after a bit more thrill, there’s a 220 Nm variant too.
Top speed? A well-balanced 78 km/h. Enough to cruise through cities without feeling like you’re on a turtle, but still safe enough for Indian road conditions. And thanks to its linear throttle response, you never feel like it’s either off or launch mode—the acceleration is intuitive and predictable.
Battery
The iQube packs a 3.4 kWh lithium-ion battery with a claimed range of 100 km. Realistically, in mixed traffic and weather conditions, you can expect around 70–80 km—still very good for most urban commutes.
It takes about 4 to 5 hours to fully charge using a standard 15A plug point. TVS also offers fast-charging stations in select cities, giving an added convenience for users needing a quick top-up.
Bonus points to TVS for placing the battery under the floorboard—this lowers the scooter’s center of gravity, making it feel more planted and stable. And yes, despite all that, you still get 17 litres of under-seat storage. Not bad, right?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 3.4 kWh |
| Claimed Range | 100 km |
| Real-World Range | 70–80 km |
| Charging Time | 4–5 hours (via 15A plug) |
| Charging Options | Standard & Fast Charging |
Comfort
The ride quality on the iQube is simply class-leading. Thanks to telescopic forks up front and twin shocks at the rear, it glides over potholes and speed breakers like a seasoned city veteran. The 12-inch wheels make a big difference too, providing better stability compared to the smaller 10-inch wheels found on many rivals.
The scooter handles well at city speeds and doesn’t feel jittery or unstable even when cruising at 50–60 km/h. Brakes are handled by a front disc and rear drum, supported by regenerative braking and CBS (Combined Braking System). This ensures a stable, controlled stop every time—no jerks, no surprises.
Features
The iQube keeps it smart and simple when it comes to tech. The 5-inch TFT display gives you smartphone-style functionality, showing turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and ride statistics. It also connects with the TVS SmartXonnect app for extended features like ride history, battery status, and OTA software updates.
Other cool features include Bluetooth-enabled keyless start, geo-fencing and theft alerts, and a handy reverse mode to help you park easily in tight spots. The screen stays visible even in bright sunlight, making it user-friendly on the go. It may not be the flashiest screen out there, but it works—and that’s what counts.
Ownership
One of the most underrated strengths of the iQube is the backing it gets from TVS’s vast service network. With their long-standing expertise in the two-wheeler market, you can expect solid after-sales service and easy access to spares.
Maintenance is a breeze too—since there are no oil changes or clutch issues with EVs, you’re mostly just checking brakes and tires. The scooter has been engineered for people who want a worry-free ownership experience—and it delivers on that front brilliantly.
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense electric scooter that just works—without trying to be overly flashy or complicated—the iQube should be right at the top of your list. It proves that practicality and smart design can still make a scooter fun and future-ready.
