Sunra Robo-S: The TVS iQube Clone From China
Surprisingly, the Robo-S surpasses the iQube in most aspects
Surprisingly, the Robo-S surpasses the iQube in most aspects
The Chinese are infamous for creating clones of famous two-wheelers. This time, their prey is our home-grown TVS iQube e-scooter, which has been replicated as the ‘Robo-S’ by Chinese electric vehicle maker Sunra EV.
Interestingly, while TVS doesn’t sell the iQube in international markets, the Robo-S is available in Europe at Rs 2.90 lakh (converted from Euros), which is more than twice the iQube’s India price.
The Robo-S is well equipped too. It gets a USB charging socket, all-LED lighting, a reverse gear, cruise control, and even a fingerprint touch-start system, making it the more modern e-scoot between the two. However, it does not get a TFT display (unlike the iQube) but features an average LCD setup instead.
Powering the Sunra Robo-S is a 3kW motor delivering 230Nm, coupled with two 72V20Ah batteries. It is capable of a claimed top speed and range of 80kmph and 135km, respectively. Meanwhile, the iQube only boasts a claimed range of 75km and a top speed of 78kmph.

The scooter rolls on 12-inch tyres shod with single disc brakes and alloys. A combined braking system links the two discs for added safety.
Yes, this is a clone and will never make it to our shores. But if it ever did, it would pull the rug from under the iQube’s feet. Of course, only it was to be priced well. Maybe it’s time TVS took some notes from the Chinese.

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.

- This New Year 2026,get your money saving machine.Because it has good range in city as well as in highway ride or a journey, with good linear performance and comfort. The ride quality of this scooter is very well and its efficiency is the best in the entire category. And the pricing of this scooter is also a good factor to buy it. It gives me easily 115 kms range in both city and highway riding. I was travels many times with my Tvs iQube 3.5 kwh scooter from my Home which id located in Srinagar Garhwal to my Village which is approx 47 km in single side with unconstructed road about 4-5 km and it performs fantastic with comfortable ride. There is only one negative point for me is Its take a little bit more time while charging, this could have been better. If your daily travels is more than 80 km than you should definitely buy Tvs iQube 3.5 kwh variant. Because its battery last more than 110 km range. Or if your daily travel is less than 60 km still it is best choice for you because you charge it.. It last almost a week in this case. And have good practicality of 32 L boot space.Read More9 44
