Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What variants of the TVS iQube are available for purchase in 2026?
TVS has significantly expanded the iQube lineup to cater to various commuting needs and budgets. Currently, there are five main variants categorized by their battery capacity:
iQube 2.2 kWh (Entry-level base variant)
iQube 3.1 kWh
iQube 3.5 kWh
iQube S 4.7 kWh (Mid-tier premium variant)
iQube ST 5.3 kWh (Flagship top variant)
2. What is the riding range of the base variant compared to the top variant?
The iQube lineup offers flexibility depending on how far you need to travel daily:
Base Variant (2.2 kWh): Delivers a certified IDC range of 94 km on a single charge. This is perfect for standard city errands, dropping kids at school, and short office commutes.
Top Variant (ST 5.3 kWh): Boasts a massive IDC range of 212 km per charge. This effectively eliminates range anxiety and is ideal for riders with long daily commutes or those who prefer the convenience of charging only once or twice a week.
3. How much do the base and top variants of the TVS iQube cost in 2026?
Pricing is structured to offer an accessible entry point as well as a fully loaded premium option. While exact on-road prices will depend on your city's RTO, insurance, and specific state subsidies, the average ex-showroom pricing (including PM E-Drive subsidies where applicable) is as follows:
VariantAverage Ex-Showroom Price (2026)Base (2.2 kWh)~Rs.1.00 Lakh to Rs.1.15 LakhTop (ST 5.3 kWh)~Rs.1.70 Lakh to Rs.1.74 Lakh
4. Is the cost of ownership actually lower compared to petrol scooters like the Jupiter or NTORQ?
Absolutely. Switching to an EV like the iQube drastically cuts down your daily running costs, making up for the initial purchase price over time.
Petrol Scooters (Jupiter/NTORQ): Assuming petrol costs around Rs.100/litre and the scooter yields an average mileage of 40-50 kmpl, your running cost is roughly Rs.2.00 to Rs.2.50 per km.
TVS iQube: Depending on your local electricity tariffs, the iQube costs roughly Rs.0.16 to Rs.0.20 per km to charge.
The Bottom Line: If you ride 30 km a day, a petrol scooter costs about Rs.2,000+ per month in fuel alone, while the iQube costs under Rs.200 a month in electricity. Combined with lower maintenance costs (no engine oil changes, fewer moving parts), the savings over 3 to 5 years are substantial.
5. TVS recently rolled out its 1 millionth iQube-what does this milestone mean for a new buyer today?
Reaching the 1 million production mark in June 2026 is a massive indicator of product reliability and market trust. For a new buyer, this provides immense peace of mind:
Proven Technology: The scooter's battery, motor, and software have been road-tested by hundreds of thousands of users across nearly 15 billion kilometers. It is a mature product, not an experimental prototype.
Robust Ecosystem: To support a million scooters, TVS has heavily invested in a widespread sales and service network (over 3,300 touchpoints). You won't struggle to find spare parts or trained EV mechanics-a common pain point with newer, unproven EV startups.
