Other than the colour schemes and the backrest, all the three variants of the iQube look pretty similar. This isn’t necessarily an issue as the base variant of the iQube looks as premium as the S variant. Also, the cushioned backrest goes a long way in improving the pillion comfort.
Feature Differences
The equipment list differs slightly on all the three variants—particularly with the iQube S offering a few extras. That is a given considering it costs more.

BikeDekho Says
The 2025 TVS iQube update focuses on making the scooters more competitive through price reductions and cosmetic updates. Even though the base variant is considerably more affordable than the 3.5kWh variant, it still gets a similar top speed. The only aspects in which the 3.5kWh variant and the S variant are superior are in terms of range and a few more fancy features. If you’re looking for a well-rounded budget electric scooter, the 2.2kWh variant should suffice. Those who want better range can go for the 3.5kWh variant as it gets similar range as the more expensive S variant minus the fancy connected features.
User Reviews
- Tvs iqube review for next buyersI like the looks and already tried tvs bike so like this brand and the mileage is also very good in this as it is good and my family also like the looks of this scooty so we choose this and very I am very much satisfied with the quality it gives. As about the mileage it is good as it's around 85 km and and the comfort it gives is too good as I also have activa 6g but I feel very comfortable in this. The negative I find is that the accessories are not available at the showroom very difficult to find it's accessories. Yes I highly recommend this scooty as this is far better than the cheap electric scooty that are available in the market. I recommend this to the people who look for looks. Design and mileage. If you want features than there were ather, Ola, vida etc are there but look wise it is bestRead More
- This is an amazing bike launched in ev categoryBecause 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.Read More
