Share this article:
In a strategic move to broaden its electric scooter line-up, TVS Motor Company has introduced a new mid-spec version of its iQube electric scooter. The new 3.1kWh battery-powered variant has been launched at ₹1.05 lakh (ex-showroom), sitting comfortably between the base 2.2kWh model and the top-tier 3.5kWh variant. With enhanced range, balanced pricing, and feature continuity, this addition is poised to attract value-conscious buyers who want a practical EV for daily commuting without stretching their budget.
Its claimed top speed is 82 kmph, making it suitable for both city commutes and short highway rides. TVS also claims the battery can be charged from zero to 80% in just under three hours (2 hours and 45 minutes to be precise), adding a layer of convenience for users who depend on daily overnight charging.
For braking duties, a 220mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum handle stopping power, ensuring adequate control in dense traffic and wet monsoon conditions. This setup remains consistent across other iQube models as well, which means users get proven performance with improved battery output.
This digital console adds a modern touch to the ride, especially for younger buyers who expect their scooters to offer more than just mileage and speed. The display also assists in real-time ride data monitoring, enhancing the scooter’s usability in daily traffic conditions.
The dual-tone finish adds to the scooter’s premium appeal, especially when compared to more minimalistic e-scooters in this segment. It also aligns well with TVS’ design language—bold, youthful, and commuter-friendly.
By targeting this middle zone, TVS not only enhances its product line-up but also increases the chances of converting hesitant first-time EV buyers who seek balanced features and price.
Given iQube’s recent success in the Indian market, this new trim is expected to drive further momentum and help the brand consolidate its position among the top e-scooter players.
