TVS Motor Company has introduced its updated TVS iQube ST in India and it’s got the Indian audiences swooning over its impressive range and modern features. The electric scooter is designed for urban riders who have first-and-last-mile convenience and a hassle-free experience in mind, and is available in the competitive electric two-wheeler market that already has big names like Ola and Honda. Let’s get into what makes this scooter a good bet for city commuting.
Good for looking
The iQube ST has a very clean, minimalist and classy design that attracts attention but does not shout. It has a streamlined look, modern LED headlight, and premium finish, blending modern appeal with an essence of maturity. To put these numbers into perspective, the TVS Racing machine is 1805 mm long, 645 mm wide, 1140 mm tall, and has a seat height of 770mm.
Get Rocketfast Electric Performance In Your Daily Life
The iQube ST is powered by a 4.4 kW BLDC hub motor with a peak torque output of 140 Nm. It’s mated with a 5.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and will deliver a 150 km “real world” range on a single charge; good for city commutes as well as longer rides. It has a top speed of 82 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 4.5 seconds – meaning rapid acceleration on city streets. With a 650-watt charger that you plug in at home, it takes 4 hours 18 minutes to go from 0 to 80%. The motor and battery are rated IP67, making it dust and water-resistant, and therefore built to last.
Pleasant Ride, Practical Handling
The iQube ST has a tubular steel frame with telescopic forks upfront and twin shocks at the rear for ride quality. It measures 1301 mm of wheelbase, which ensures stability on the city roads. Clearance from the ground is 157 mm, adequate for city roads but a rough patch and it will scrape. Braking is provided by a front 220 mm disc and 130 mm rear drum system with regenerative braking to recoup energy and increase range. It has a nice ride in traffic but the suspension might be a bit too firm on bumpy or uneven streets. 115 kg – I'ts easy to carry around for daily use.
Packed With Smart Features
The iQube ST comes with a 7-inch TFT touchscreen display, offering turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, music control, and Bluetooth connectivity. You get voice assist, Alexa integration, geo-fencing, crash and fall alerts, and over-the-air updates through the SmartConnect app, which also shows ride stats and savings. It has all-LED lighting, a USB charging port, and 32L underseat storage—enough for a helmet and small bags. Safety features include an anti-theft system, regenerative braking, and hazard warnings. It’s a 2-seater, no third row, with a passenger footrest for added comfort.
Saves Money And Stays Eco-Friendly
The iQube ST gets a real-world range of 150 km per charge. TVS says charging costs ₹19 per full charge, covering 145 km, which breaks down to about ₹3 per day if you ride 30 km daily. That’s a monthly cost of ₹150, saving you thousands compared to a petrol scooter costing ₹100 per litre for the same distance. At 115 kg, its efficient design keeps running costs low at ₹0.10 to ₹0.15 per km. The electric motor produces zero emissions, and TVS focuses on sustainable production, making it a green choice for city riders.
Price And Options In India
The iQube ST starts at ₹1.59 lakh ex-showroom, with the top variant at ₹1.85 lakh. On-road prices in Delhi range from ₹1.65 lakh to ₹1.93 lakh. You can buy it with a downpayment of ₹20,000, with EMIs around ₹5,000/month at 9.7% interest for 3 years, though this can vary by loan terms. It comes in two battery options—3.4 kWh (100 km range, 78 km/h top speed) and 5.1 kWh (150 km range, 82 km/h top speed). TVS has sold over 3,50,000 iQube units, and posts on X show it topped EV 2W sales in April 2025 with over 19,000 units. Delivery takes 15-30 days, and festive deals in May might include free accessories.
Scooters It Competes With
Ola S1 Pro (₹1.30 lakh): 120 km range, 120 km/h top speed, more speed but less range.
Ather 450X (₹1.43 lakh): 111 km range, 90 km/h top speed, tech-heavy but pricier.
Bajaj Chetak (₹1.10 lakh): 123-153 km range, 73 km/h top speed, cheaper but slower.
The iQube ST’s 150 km range and features give it an edge over Ola and Ather, while Chetak offers better range at a lower price but lacks speed.
Who Should Buy This Scooter
The iQube ST is for city riders who want a green 2-wheeler with a 150 km range, modern tech, and style. Features like navigation and ABS suit urban commutes, while 157 mm ground clearance works for city roads. Not for those needing a budget option or a scooter for rough terrain.
