TVS iQube Pros and Cons

Pro 1: Comfortable Riding Experience

The TVS iQube provides the highest level of comfort while riding. The iQube electric has a wider seat than other electric scooter. Apart from this, I have noticed no significant limitations in the power delivery. The scooter easily achieves a speed ranging between 45-48 kmph even in the normal mode. The e-scooter easily handles all the terrains with its highly efficient suspension system.

Pro 2: Good Performance

The TVS iQube generates a peak power of 4.4 kWh and runs with a top speed of 78 kmph. It comes equipped with a hub-mounted motor which makes 140 Nm of torque. Additionally, it has 12-inch wheels with disc brakes on both sides. The vehicle is suspended by a telescopic front in the front and twin rear shocks at the rear. As mentioned above, there is no such compromise in power delivery and the iQube is an excellent performing vehicle in its segment. You can feel the initial torque very well on the electric scooter.

Pro 3: Features and Tech

The TVS iQube electric gets features such as a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and TVS's own SmartXonnect technology. The SmartXonnect technology allows the riders to get information about the vehicle and use features such as turn-by-turn navigation, over-speed alert and geo-fencing.

Pro 4: Satisfying Sales and Service Network

TVS Motors provides a satisfying sales and service experience. The two-wheeler manufacturer has a great service network in India. TVS Motors has always prioritized customer satisfaction for its products. A good sales and service network is also a reason to choose the TVS iQube over its rivals in the market.

Pro 5: Enough Boot Space

The TVS iQube has a longer and wider seat than most of its rivals and hence it offers a lot of boot space of 17 litre. As a rider, you can easily store a helmet in the provided storage space.

TVS iQube Cons

Con 1: Low Range in Entry-Level Variants

The entry-level variants of the iQube electric scooter provide a lesser range than its rivals. It is worth noting that iQube 2.2 kWh offers a maximum range driving range of 75 km on a solitary charge. This is much less if we look at the price tag which is equivalent to most of its rivals which provide more range.

Con 2: Lacks Fast Charging

TVS iQube doesn't offer fast charging which is on offer with some of its rivals, but there is no fast charging option with the TVS iQube. The smaller battery pack version gets fully juiced up in 2 hours and bigger battery pack variants takes four hours and 30 minutes.

Con 3: Higher Variants are Overpriced

The top end iQube ST 3.4 kWh and iQube ST 5.1. kWh are priced at Rs. 1.65 lakh and 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively which is too high than its rivals. When we look at the price tag of the higher trims, it feels that doesn't provide a value for money.
