TVS IQube
Feature-rich electric commuting, let down by drum brakes at both ends
In short
The IQube is TVS's electric scooter, offered with battery packs from 2.3kWh to 5.3kWh giving a claimed range up to roughly 114km and real-world figures nearer 87-99km on the smaller packs, priced from ₹1.19 lakh. It's built for city commuting with genuine tech like cruise control and OTA updates, but drum brakes on both ends feel dated next to newer electric rivals.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the IQube range runs from ₹1,19,250 (2.3 kWh) to ₹1,75,599 (ST 5.3 kWh) across 6 variants.
That makes it priced 10th lowest among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Chetak 35 Series (₹750 more) and the Activa electric (₹883 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.26 Lakh for the base variant once registration and five-year insurance are added (Delhi waives road tax on electric two-wheelers). Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
2.3 kWh | ₹1,19,250 | |
3.1 kWh | ₹1,38,510 | |
MillionR Special Edition | ₹1,40,138 | |
3.5 kWh | ₹1,45,653 | |
S 4.7 kWh | ₹1,65,353 | |
ST 5.3 kWh | ₹1,75,599 |
Range and charging
Expect 87–99 km from the IQube in everyday use against a certified IDC range of 114 km. The 18% gap is about average for the class.
Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 16th for range, 33 km below the group average of 147 km.
Motor and ride
The IQube's 3.68 kW motor is the 19rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 68 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 2.5 hours. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.
Seat height is a low 770 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The IQube is TVS's electric scooter line, spanning six variants from a ₹1.19 lakh base 2.3kWh pack to a ₹1.76 lakh ST 5.3kWh version, and it leans on genuinely useful tech like cruise control, over-the-air updates and a companion app to stand out. What it does not offer, on any variant, is a disc brake at either wheel.
Riding it every day
In city traffic the instant torque from the 3.68kW motor makes it feel eager off the line, quicker than most 110cc petrol scooters away from a signal, though the 68kmph top speed means it is not built for fast arterial roads or highway stretches. The 770mm seat height and 115kg kerb weight keep it easy to manage at low speed and while parking. Braking is the one area that feels behind the times: both wheels use drums, and TVS's SBT system is no substitute for a proper disc when carrying a pillion or riding in the monsoon.
What to know before buying
Real-world range of 87-99km on the base variant should cover most urban commutes, but riders with longer routes or unreliable charging access at home should look at the 4.7kWh or 5.3kWh variants instead. The 3-year, 50,000km battery warranty is a reasonable length of cover, and TVS's dealer network, one of the largest for electric two-wheelers in India, matters for peace of mind on service and battery health checks.
Who should buy it
This suits someone wanting a second vehicle for short, predictable city commutes who values connected features and a trusted dealer network over outright performance. It is a weaker choice for anyone doing long daily distances, riding two-up often, or prioritising strong braking feel, where rivals with disc brakes make more sense.
Features and colours

On safety kit the IQube has tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps.
Against Rizta, Konarc or Chetak 35 Series, it gets cruise control that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: combi-brake (cbs), colour tft console, fast charging and hill hold, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 12 colours: Wallnut Brown, Pearl White, Titanium Grey, Copper Bronze - Beige, Starlight Blue Beige, Titanium Grey - Matte, Titanium Grey - Backrest, Pearl White - Backrest, Titanium Grey, Harlequin Blue, Magnificence Purple and Aurora Green. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 50,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.
Service reach is good: TVS has about 4,500 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
On sale since 2020, the IQube is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
IQube: questions people ask
- What is the price of the TVS IQube?
- The IQube costs between ₹1,19,250 and ₹1,75,599 ex-showroom Delhi across 6 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.
- What is the on-road price of the IQube in Delhi?
- Roughly ₹1.26 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,19,250 ex-showroom plus no road tax (electric two-wheelers are exempt in Delhi), ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,423 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.
- What is the real range of the IQube?
- The certified range is 114 km. In everyday riding expect 87–99 km depending on mode, speed and load.
- How much does the IQube cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.20 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹159 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the IQube?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹3,780 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the IQube take to charge?
- About 2.5 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- Is the IQube suitable for short riders?
- Yes. Seat height is 770 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
- IQube or Rizta: which is better?
- The Rizta is ₹1,455 more expensive to start and more efficient at 123 km against 114 km. Pick the IQube for short daily commutes, the Rizta for family daily use. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the IQube?
- Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed, the S1 Pro (Gen 3) (₹1.15 Lakh), the S1 X (₹89,999), the Roadster (₹1.05 Lakh) start lower.
- Is the IQube's real-world range enough for a daily 40km round-trip commute?
- For the base 2.3kWh variant, a 40km daily round trip should be comfortable within the 87-99km real-world range reported, leaving some buffer for traffic and AC-heavy weather draining the battery faster. Longer commutes or infrequent charging access would justify stepping up to a bigger battery variant.
- Does the IQube's charging work with a normal home socket?
- Yes, the IQube is designed to charge from a standard home plug point, with TVS quoting around 2.5 hours for a full charge on the base variant, though larger battery variants will take longer. A dedicated, stable socket away from other heavy appliances is worth setting up if you plan to charge daily.
