    TVS New Electric Scooter and Improved iQube EV Slated For FY26

    New TVS Electric ScooterTVS Motor, one of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, has just spilled the beans on what we can expect from the brand with respect to electric vehicles. Speaking to a media publication, TVS Motor Managing Director, Sudarshan Venu, has just confirmed the pipeline for FY26 and even the traffic in this pipeline. Let’s take a closer look.
    TVS New Electric Scooter
    If we look at company’s official website, we can see that the company has commenced retail of TVS X, which was unveiled a long time ago. While it is still not live for sale, a prospective buyer can reserve it. This is one of three electric vehicles TVS Motor has lined up in the pipeline for India for FY26.
    Other two electric vehicles include an improved iQube and a new TVS electric scooter, as confirmed by Sudarshan Venu. These are huge developments from TVS as the company is currently India’s reigning electric scooter champion in terms of sales and volume. These upcoming vehicles are likely to consolidate TVS’ position as EV-maker in India.
    Details about TVS new electric scooter are completely in wraps right now, but one can speculate that it might be a more affordable offering to take on Ola S1X and upcoming budget offerings like Vida VX2 and more affordable Chetak.

    Improved iQube
    TVS has a reputation of hiding their test mules quite effectively. Improved iQube might adhere to current design language, with a few subtle upgrades to spruce things up. It has to be noted that iQube range of electric scooters were launched in 2020, which is around half a decade ago. An updated design might work in company’s favour.
    It might feature more features, a higher range from its 2.2 kWh, 3.5 kWh and 5.3 kWh battery packs with more efficient and streamlined software. Currently, the promised range starts from 94 km with 2.2 kWh battery and goes till 212 km with 5.3 kWh battery pack. We hope improved iQube packs a mid-mounted motor and get rear disc brake with at least a single-channel ABS setup.
    Currently, TVS iQube range is offered in three trim levels – iQube, iQube S and iQube ST. Pricing starts from Rs 94,434 and goes till Rs 1.59 lakh (both prices effective Ex-sh, Delhi). We can expect improved iQube to be priced around the same ballpark and TVS new electric scooter to be positioned below iQube. More

    2025 TVS iQube S and ST Launched – Bigger Battery, More Range

    2025 TVS iQube S and STTVS Motor has been updating its iQube electric scooter lineup periodically to keep them relevant and boost sales at the same time. In that regard, we got to see the launch of 2025 TVS iQube S and ST variants in India with an updated powertrain that is aimed to offer more range for buyers. Let’s take a look at all the updates.
    2025 TVS iQube S and ST
    Ever since it was launched, TVS iQube has emerged as one of the best-selling electric scooters in India. Now that Ola Electric sales are crumbling down, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have gained quite a bit of the market share. There are multiple trim levels of iQube and only the S and ST trims have been updated to MY25 version. Where design changes are concerned, we can see dual-tone seats, beige inner panels and a pillion backrest.
    Starting with 2025 iQube S, the company has priced it at Rs 1.17 lakh (Effective Price, Delhi). Previously, it used to come equipped with a 3.3 kWh battery pack that was rated to deliver around 100 km of range on a single charge in the real world. The new 2025 iQube S gets a slightly larger 3.5 kWh battery pack and TVS is advertising it with an IDC range of 145 km on a single charge.
    It continues to get a 7-inch TFT cluster with HMI integration and other features like 32L underseat storage, USB charging port, external charging socket, 118+ connected features, front disc brake, 78 km/h top speed, 0-40 km/h sprint in 4.2s, reverse mode, 12-inch tyres at both ends, LED lighting telematics, turn-by-turn navigation and more.

    The same 3.3 kWh to 3.5 kWh battery pack upgrade can also be seen with a smaller battery variant of the top-spec 2025 TVS iQube ST trim. However, 2025 iQube ST gets an upgrade to its larger battery variant where the 5.1 kWh battery pack has been replaced with a 5.3 kWh pack with a claimed IDC range of 212 km on a single charge. 2025 iQube ST 3.5 kWh costs Rs 1.28 lakh (Effective price) and 5.3 kWh variant costs 1.59 lakh (Effective price).
    Being the top-spec iQube ST trim, it gets a host of features and technology on top of S trim. These include a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster that is a touchscreen, music control, voice assist with Alexa skillset and more. At 132 kg, it is slightly heavier than S trim and hence there is a slight drop in performance as it has a 0-40 km/h sprint of 4.5s.
    In the Indian market, 2025 TVS iQube S and ST rival the likes of Ola S1 Pro and Pro+, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida V2 Plus and V2 Pro, among others. With the larger batteries and more IDC-claimed range, the 2025 TVS iQube S and iQube ST are likely to attract more buyers than they did before.
