iQube Junior: Budget EV Scooter

Expected to make its official debut before the festive season of 2025, this new electric scooter is being crafted with affordability at its core. With a projected price range of Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1 lakh (ex-showroom), it's likely to cater to value-driven customers who want a dependable electric commuter without breaking the bank.

TVS appears to be targeting the growing crowd of EV adopters who are looking for a reliable, efficient, and easy-on-the-pocket alternative to conventional petrol scooters. This move is not just a reaction to market trends - it's a calculated step to further cement the company's position among the top EV sellers in the country.

Compact Design, Smart Packaging

While the test mule was heavily camouflaged, it carried a noticeably simpler and more utilitarian design language compared to the iQube. Industry insiders speculate that the scooter could feature a smaller battery pack - possibly a refined 2.2kWh unit - to keep the weight and cost under control. A hub-mounted motor, likely sourced from Bosch (as seen in the iQube), is also expected to make its way into this model.

To maintain the aggressive price tag, premium features like touchscreen displays and fast charging might be sacrificed in favour of essential commuter-focused equipment such as an LED headlamp, digital cluster, and basic connectivity.

Jupiter or XL? The Mystery of the Badge

The name of the upcoming scooter is still under wraps, but TVS might leverage one of its existing nameplates. There's strong chatter in industry circles about the new EV being launched under the Jupiter family. With the Jupiter petrol variant already a best-seller and a CNG version in the pipeline, an electric version would complete a rare trifecta - making Jupiter the only two-wheeler in India available in petrol, CNG, and electric forms.

Alternatively, there's also speculation that TVS could resurrect the XL legacy in a new-age avatar. The company has filed trademarks for names like "XL EV" and "E-XL," which suggests that the electric moped may be in the works. Given the XL100's reputation for ruggedness and affordability, an electric spin-off could appeal strongly to both rural and utility-focused urban buyers.

Strengthening EV Iineup

TVS has been a consistent performer in the electric two-wheeler space, thanks largely to the success of the iQube. With competition heating up and subsidy benefits being gradually phased out, manufacturers are now focusing on creating cost-efficient products that still deliver solid performance. The upcoming TVS electric scooter is likely a strategic move to retain a stronghold in the sub Rs. 1 lakh EV segment.

What's Next?

The company hasn't officially revealed the scooter yet, but an official announcement is expected in the coming months. If the timeline aligns with previous TVS launches, we can expect a grand reveal around September or October 2025, coinciding with the festive rush.
