TVS iQube specifications 

The TVS iQube utilises a 4.4kW motor like the outgoing model and propels the scooter from standstill to 40kmph in just 4.2 seconds. The scooter can achieve a top speed of 78kmph while the top-spec ST model can cruise at a slightly higher 82kmph. The e-scooter continues with the Economy and Power riding modes and TVS says that it has reworked the throttle response and fine-tuned the Economy mode. TVS i-Qube also continues to get the Q-Park Assist reverse mode for assisting one out of a tricky parking spot. 

The claimed range on the 2022 TVS iQube has seen a boost with the introduction of a new 3.4kWh battery pack. Earlier the iQube’s motor was paired to a 2.2kWh battery pack that delivered a certified range of 75k. The 2022 iQube base and S variants get 100km of range. The range-topping ST variant benefits from an even larger 5.1kWh battery pack which paired with the motor delivers a claimed 145km range. 

In terms of charging, the 2020 iQube charges at 650W and 950W; however, the top-spec ST variant is capable of fast charging at 1.5kW.
