New TVS iQube Launched: Premium Electric Scooter with Up to 220 km Range

TVS Motor Company’s iQube has firmly established itself as one of India’s most dependable electric scooters, and the 2026 lineup takes that reputation further with extended range options, smarter technology, and refined performance. With certified ranges now stretching up to 212 km, improved connectivity features, and proven reliability, the new TVS iQube is designed to make electric mobility practical, affordable, and stress-free for everyday riders.

Priced between ₹1.11 lakh and ₹1.62 lakh (ex-showroom), the iQube range targets a wide audience—from delivery riders covering 80–100 km daily to families seeking a clean, quiet, and economical solution for school runs and city commuting. With IP67-rated battery protection and TVS’s extensive service network, the iQube aims to remove common EV concerns while keeping ownership simple.

Sporty Styling with Confident Urban Presence

The new TVS iQube carries a sporty yet mature design that blends well into busy Indian streets. Measuring 1,805 mm in length and 645 mm in width, the scooter cuts through traffic with ease, while its 157 mm ground clearance ensures it clears speed breakers and waterlogged roads during monsoons.

Sculpted side panels flow into a robust rear swingarm, highlighted by illuminated “TVS Electric” branding that adds a premium touch. A sharp LED headlamp improves visibility at night, outperforming traditional halogen units, while 12-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 90/90 tubeless tyres offer confident grip on wet and uneven roads.

With nine vibrant color options including Starlight Blue and Titanium Grey, the iQube lets riders express their style without sacrificing practicality. A 770 mm seat height suits a wide range of riders, and integrated grab rails double as tie-down points for carrying bags or light cargo.

Practical Storage Meets Premium Fit and Finish

The iQube continues to score high on everyday usability. A flip-up floorboard reveals a generous 30-litre underseat storage space, large enough to accommodate two helmets or daily shopping essentials. The build quality feels solid, with clean panel gaps and a premium finish that stands out in its price segment.

Hub-Motor Performance Tailored for City Riding

Powering the iQube lineup are efficient BLDC hub motors tuned for urban conditions. The base 2.2 kWh variant produces 4.4 kW peak power and 33 Nm of wheel torque, enabling a quick 0–40 kmph sprint in 4.2 seconds—ideal for getting ahead of traffic at signals.

The flagship 5.3 kWh ST variant offers stronger performance and a top speed of 82 kmph, along with three riding modes: Eco for maximum efficiency, Ride for balanced performance, and Sport for quick acceleration. With a 14-degree gradeability, the scooter handles flyovers and inclines comfortably, even with a pillion.

Certified range figures span from 94 km to 212 km, translating to 75–180 km real-world range depending on load and riding style. Home charging via a 750W socket completes overnight, while optional fast chargers can top up the battery to 80% in around 2.5 hours.

Smart Dashboard and Connected Features

The 7-inch TFT display is controlled via a four-way joystick on the left handlebar and presents information clearly. Riders get distance-to-empty forecasts, navigation assistance, Bluetooth-enabled call alerts, and a built-in charger locator.

Additional features include a USB-C charging port, crash and fall alerts, remote tracking via GSM connectivity, and voice-assisted commands like locating the nearest charging station. Over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure the scooter’s software continues to evolve without frequent service visits.

Safety and Ride Comfort

The iQube features a front disc and rear drum brake setup with combined braking for stable stopping performance. The IP67-rated lithium-ion battery is well-protected against dust and water, adding peace of mind during heavy rains.

Telescopic front forks and adjustable twin rear shock absorbers deliver a balanced and comfortable ride over potholes and uneven surfaces. Safety features like side-stand cut-off, overspeed alerts, and a 3-year/50,000 km battery warranty further strengthen its value proposition.

Ownership Experience and Running Costs

With running costs as low as ₹0.25 per km, the iQube dramatically undercuts petrol scooters. Monthly EMIs start around ₹3,000, making it accessible to a wide range of buyers. TVS’s extensive service network, even in semi-urban areas, ensures hassle-free ownership.

Final Verdict

The new TVS iQube isn’t about flashy gimmicks—it’s about making electric mobility work seamlessly in daily life. With class-leading range, smart connectivity, low running costs, and trusted TVS reliability, it transforms everyday commuting into a quieter, cleaner, and more economical experience.

For delivery professionals, families, and cost-conscious urban riders, the iQube proves that the future of commuting has already arrived.
