                • Pros
                • Cons
                • TVS iQube ST

                  • The e-scooter has good power and performance, and can easily keep up with city and highway traffic
                  • The design is simple and minimalistic, and the scooter overall feels quite elegant
                  • The scooter has a real world range of 100km

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS160

                  • Handles well and changes direction quickly
                  • Now comes with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation
                  • Styling is similar to its bigger sibling, the NS200
                • TVS iQube ST

                  • Only gets turn-by-turn navigation, and misses out on full-fledged navigation, which its rivals get
                  • The scooter misses out on a fast-charger, which could have made charging a lot easier
                  • The suspension is slightly stiffer, so bumps and potholes will be felt

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS160

                  • One of the heaviest bikes in its class
                  • Engine isn’t refined at higher revs
                  • Pulsar N160 does almost everything that the NS160 does, at a much lower price

                  Not bad not good but mileage is basically enough, and the price is to high rated, suspension and not much better and last the navigations is not much good, but the scooter is good almost you can recommend this if you can buy, so buy atleast in offers like diwali and others festivals offers, scooter is really good.

                  This is an amazing bike launched in ev category
                  Because of the range this bike is too good because I was getting irritate because there is too many bikes in the market with low price but they are not giving a great range that this bike giving to us. Riding this bike is so comfortable and it can take you to a long ride because the range that it is providing is so nice in this low price category because range is an serious issue in ev bikes because of that people fear from purchasing ev bikes. Yes, in ev category I will highly recommend this bike. Not because of its range but also because of its running speed and fast charging and once you bought this bike anyone can use it so easily and you can put your heavy stuff on it without any worries.

                  Buy from saving of years
                  The reason I picked iQube was financial. I calculated my petrol costs vs. charging, and the savings were massive over 3–4 years. Add to that, the low maintenance of EVs and TVS reliability — it was an easy decision. The iQube has made my city commute stress-free. It’s easy to ride, charges overnight, and runs the whole day without issues. Acceleration is great, and handling is nimble. The only downside is the charging infra on highways. Service experience is smooth. The iQube is worth recommending to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and modern EV scooter. It suits city commutes. However, people who need frequent intercity travel or higher ranges may not find it suitable.

                  best in mileage in one charge
                  My primary reason was to reduce fuel costs. I travel around 30 km daily, and petrol expenses were piling up. The iQube offered a good balance of range, performance, and brand reliability compared to newer EV startups. The experience so far is positive. It’s very comfortable, especially with its silent motor and smooth pickup. I enjoy the tech features. Negatives would be slower charging and limited top speed compared to petrol bikes. Service has been professional and reliable. The iQube is perfect for urban users who want comfort, range, and brand trust. It suits families and working professionals. However, if you ride long distances daily or crave high top speeds, it’s not for you.

                  Good bike for youngsters
                  Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                  Excellent bike
                  My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.
