Range anxiety? TVS Motor is tackling it head-on. India's renowned electric scooter manufacturer has just unveiled significant enhancements for its iQube S and iQube ST models for 2025, primarily focusing on bolstering their battery capabilities for extended travel. This strategic refresh aims to cement the iQube’s position as a dominant force in the electric two-wheeler segment.
The TVS iQube has already established itself as a national bestseller, a testament to its compelling value proposition. As the market sees shifts among rivals, the iQube has notably strengthened its hold. The 2025 updates aren't just about performance; both the S and ST variants now feature refined aesthetics like dual-tone seats, subtle beige inner panels, and a practical pillion backrest, enhancing rider and passenger comfort.
2025 iQube S
The 2025 TVS iQube S now offers a more generous ride with an upgraded 3.5 kWh battery pack, a step up from its predecessor. This translates to an impressive 145 km IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range on a single charge. Priced competitively at Rs 1.17 lakh (Effective Price, Delhi), the iQube S comes loaded with features designed for the modern commuter.
Its 7-inch TFT cluster keeps vital information at a glance with HMI integration. Practicality is evident with 32 liters of underseat storage, a USB charging port, and an external charging socket. Over 118 connected features keep you linked, while performance includes a 78 km/h top speed and a swift 0-40 km/h acceleration in just 4.2 seconds. A front disc brake ensures safety, complemented by reverse mode, 12-inch tires, full LED lighting, telematics, and intuitive turn-by-turn navigation.
2025 iQube ST
For those demanding even greater range, the 2025 TVS iQube ST arrives with options. Its entry-level version also receives the 3.5 kWh battery upgrade, available at Rs 1.28 lakh (Effective Price). But the true game-changer is the ST’s larger battery variant, which now boasts a robust 5.3 kWh pack, a leap from the previous 5.1 kWh. This powerhouse delivers an astounding 212 km IDC range on a single charge, setting a new benchmark for electric scooter autonomy. This top-tier variant is priced at Rs 1.59 lakh (Effective Price).
The iQube ST doesn't just offer range; it elevates the ride experience with premium features. Its 7-inch TFT instrument cluster is now a fully interactive touchscreen, providing seamless control. Music integration and voice assist powered by Alexa skillset add to the convenience. Though slightly heavier at 132 kg, resulting in a 0-40 km/h acceleration of 4.5 seconds, the trade-off for extended range and advanced tech is compelling.
These strategic upgrades position the 2025 TVS iQube S and ST to aggressively compete against key rivals such as the Ola S1 Pro, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak, and Hero Vida V2. With enhanced batteries and extended IDC-claimed ranges, TVS is clearly aiming to capture an even larger share of the burgeoning Indian EV market.
