TVS iQube power and range


TVS iQube powered by a 4.4-kilowatt hub motor, the iQube comes with two riding modes eco and sport. The iCube can achieve a top speed of  40 km per hour in eco mode, and in sport mode, it is 78 km hour. Talking about range, on a single charge iQube goes 75 kilometres and it takes 4.5 to 5 hours to fully charged via a standard Phi M charger. alt="TVS-iQube-control-display">The iQube comes with two sets of battery packs. and the under the seat is has a light and USB charging socket along with fairly good storage around  20 litres that you can fit a mini-sized helmet. Taking about the per kilometre cost, tvs iQube consumed approx 2.5-3 unit of electricity for a full charge which cost around 20 rupees in India and the average range is around 60-70 kilometres, that means its cost around 0.30 to 0.40 paisa for per kilometre, whare you get average 40-50 kilometres per litter from the petrol-powered scooter. considering the current petrol price which is nearly 100 rupees, the TVS iQube is 4 to 5 times cheaper than the petrol power scooter.  for better understand if you cover  10000 kilometres TVS iQube will cost you rupees around 3000 rupees and eighteen thousand on the petrol-powered scooter. however, once you cover 50000 kilometres you would spend 15000 rupees on the iQube and 70000 rupees on the petrol power scooter. another best part of iQube you won't need to worry about the maintenance charge like engine oil or other service costs.

TVS iQube price & service 

The TVS iQube now cost rupees 1 lakh 10000 on-road Bengaluru it also available in Chennai, Delhi and Coimbatore, which is similar to some other petrol powred scooter like the Jupiter or N torque. Talking about the service and warranty, TVS is offering a three-year 50000-kilometre warranty, which should be reassuring for most customers. in terms of running costs, The iQube will be far cheaper and do not forget the favour you'd be doing to our environment. with the latest frame to subsidy increase, the iQube now costs much closer to 125cc scooters. in fact in Delhi where there is an additional subsidy available the price gap has come down significantly and now not so far from petrol-powered scooters, which makes TVS iQube the first high-quality two-wheeler electric vehicle in India which is a legitimate rival to established petrol-powered scooters, and TVS iQube is better than Bajaj Chetak in my opinion.
