TVS has quietly slipped in another option for buyers who have been eyeing an electric scooter. The company just launched the new iQube 3.1kWh variant. It sits right between the smallest and largest battery packs in the lineup. Let’s break down what you get for the money.
Where Does It Sit In The Lineup?
TVS now has six variants of the iQube. The new 3.1kWh version slides in between the 2.2kWh base model and the larger 3.5kWh top-end model. Priced at Rs 1.05 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), it costs about Rs 12,000 more than the base version. But if you were eyeing the top model, this one will save you around Rs 21,000.
Range And Speed On Offer
If you pick the 3.1kWh iQube, you get a top speed of 82 kmph. The claimed riding range is 121 km on a full charge. That’s a sweet spot for city riding. Charging isn’t painfully slow either. From zero to eighty percent, it takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Same as the base 2.2kWh variant.
How Heavy Is It?
This one tips the scale at 117 kg. So it’s not too heavy for daily rides and moving it around in tight parking spots won’t be a workout.
Familiar Chassis And Suspension
Mechanically, TVS has kept things unchanged. The frame is the same tubular unit. Up front you get telescopic forks. At the rear, twin tube shocks do the job. This setup is already known for being city-friendly.
How About The Brakes?
Braking parts stay the same too. You get a 220 mm disc up front which gives you decent bite. The rear wheel uses a 130 mm drum. It’s a common combo for scooters in this range.
Tech And Features Still There
TVS hasn’t cut back on the screen or features. You still get a neat TFT display. It shows speed, battery info, and other basic stuff. Bluetooth comes built-in. So you can pair your phone and get notifications and ride info on the go.
Who Should Buy It?
If the base model felt too basic but the top-end felt too pricey, this 3.1kWh version makes sense. You get better range and speed without pushing your budget too far. For daily city commutes, it’s more than enough.
TVS is clearly pushing to cover all price points under the iQube umbrella. With six options now, buyers can pick what fits their wallet and needs without much compromise.
