TVS launched their first electric scooter i.e TVS iQube at a price tag of Rs 1.15 lakh(on-road price) in Bengaluru today. This scooter is currently available in Bengaluru only via TVS's 10 dealerships in Bengaluru. We can book this scooter from 27 January onwards by paying an amount of Rs 5000.
TVS iQube is powered by a 4.4kW electric motor that can achieve a claimed top speed of 78kph. In comparison, the Bajaj Chetak has a top speed of 60kph, while the Ather 450 can go up to 80kph. TVS claims that its iQube can cover 75km on a full charge – this is on par with the Ather 450 and quite a bit lower than the Bajaj Chetak’s claimed range of 95km. TVS is also claiming 0-40kph in just 4.2 seconds. The scooter has two riding modes – economy and power – and comes with regenerative braking. The iQube's battery is not removable.
The TVS iQube comes with a ‘next-gen TVS SmartXonnect platform’ that has a TFT instrument cluster and the TVS iQube app. Both these together enable users to access features such as geo-fencing, remote battery charge status, navigation assist, last park location and incoming call alerts/SMS alerts etc.
