TVS had recently announced their foray into the world of electric mobility solutions when they launched the iQube Electric scooter about a month ago in Bengaluru in a star-studded affair with the chief guest being none other than the Union Transport Minister Mr Nitin Gadkari and the Karnataka State Chief Minister Mr Y.S. Yeddyyurappa themselves. All the details about the scooter including price and tech specs were made known at the time of the launch itself, and the only thing remaining to be known was to see how it feels to ride this scooter. Finally, we had a chance to ride it a day before yesterday at TVS’s Hosur plant test track and here’s what we could learn from that outing.
Design-wise, the iQube Electric offers an elegant overall persona without trying to look too ambitious. Clearly, no drama here. It is a very neat design that should appeal to people of all ages. There is only one colour option available as of now though. It features an LED headlamp along with LED DRLs, as well as full LED tail lamp as well. And there is an illuminated iQube logo with blue backlight as well on the left swingarm. Then you have a 5-inch full-color TFT screen at the instrument panel that displays a host of information including all tell-tale lights and basic and advanced info like speedometer, battery level, distance to empty, etc. Pair it with your smartphone with the help of TVS iQube app (android and ios) and it would show you call and SMS alerts, trip telemetry, turn by turn navigation, over-speed alert, etc. You could also monitor battery charge status on your phone while the scooter is being charged, parked away from you.
