TVS iQube 2.3kWh Variant Adds Range With Trade-Offs
TVS has introduced a new basic version of its iQube electric scooter.
It uses a slightly larger 2.3kWh battery instead of the older 2.2kWh battery.
This gives it 20km more claimed riding range.
The new version costs Rs 1.16 lakh before showroom-related charges.
However, it does not improve everything.
Its top speed is lower than the older version’s.
It also uses simpler hardware.
This means buyers get more range but may give up some speed and equipment.
TVS has replaced the iQube’s base 2.2kWh variant with a 2.3kWh version.
The new variant increases the claimed IDC range by 20km.
It is priced at Rs 1.16 lakh ex-showroom.
The variant has a lower top speed than the model it replaces.
TVS has also fitted simpler hardware, balancing the range gain with reduced features or performance.
