TVS iQube: All Variants Explained
TVS iQube: Which battery size should you actually buy? We analyse:
The TVS iQube isn't chasing the flashiest range numbers or the biggest touchscreen in the segment — it leans on a legacy two-wheeler brand's service network in a category where most rivals are still building. So if you are planning to buy, you must know which variant is for you, so ask yourself: how far do you need to go, and how much of the tech is worth paying for. We make things easier for you:
What Stays The Same
Before looking at the differences, it’s useful to know what’s common across all four base iQube models. Every variant is built on the same tubular frame, using a telescopic fork and hydraulic twin-tube rear shock absorbers. All versions ride on 90/90-12 tubeless tyres at both ends. Standard equipment includes full LED lighting, regenerative braking, and TVS’ SmartXonnect platform, which provides over 118 connected features like turn-by-turn navigation, geofencing, and crash alerts.
iQube 2.3 kWh: The Entry Point
This is the gateway to the iQube family and uses a 2.3 kWh battery pack that delivers a claimed IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range of 114 km. However, this variant is not just a smaller-battery version; it’s a stripped-down model. Its top speed is capped at 68 kmph, significantly lower than the 82 km/h of the other models. It also uses drum brakes on both wheels and features a basic 12.7 cm LCD console.
iQube 3.1 kWh: The Sweet Spot
The 3.1 kWh variant emerges as the most sensible choice for most buyers. The battery size increases to 3.1 kWh, pushing the claimed IDC range to 123 km. More importantly, this variant unlocks the iQube’s full performance potential, with the top speed rising to 82 kmph and the 0-40 km/h time improving to 4.2 seconds. Safety gets a crucial upgrade with a 220 mm front disc brake. The instrument console is also upgraded to a 12.7 cm TFT screen.
iQube 3.5 kWh: The Range Topper
Its entire value proposition is its larger 3.5 kWh battery, which extends the IDC range to 145 km. Apart from the extra 22 km of range and a slightly longer charging time (4h 30m), it is mechanically and functionally identical to the 3.1 kWh model. It has the same 82 kmph top speed, front disc brake, TFT display, and 32-litre underseat storage. This variant is aimed squarely at customers whose primary concern is maximising range.
iQube MillionR Edition: The No-Cost Special
Celebrating one million iQube sales, the MillionR Edition is priced identically to the standard 3.5 kWh variant. It shares the same 3.5 kWh battery and 145 km range. The differences are purely cosmetic and feature-based. It comes in an exclusive Aurora Green dual-tone colour, features special "MillionR" badging, and has premium seat upholstery. It also claims a slightly larger 35.5-litre total storage capacity. For more clarity, the table below will help you know the differences between these variants:

BikeDekho Says
If you're deciding which iQube to actually buy: skip the 2.3 kWh unless budget is the only factor — the drum brakes and lower top speed aren't worth the savings. The 3.1 kWh is the one to buy for most riders — it gets the disc brake, TFT display, and Q-Park Assist. Upgrade to the 3.5 kWh only if your daily distance genuinely needs that extra 22 km of range. And go for the MillionR Edition if you want the 3.5 kWh's performance and don't mind paying for exclusivity over utility.

I 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 best Read More
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 More
It is the first EV i saw on the road. I have been watching for more than 4 years. I like the way it has been designed, comfort and safety. More over the brand name and my dream to buy the vehicle. To be part of the carbon free world. Very smooth. The head light projection is very good while riding during the night time. Leg space is comfortable. The boot space also very large to keep more items. usually in petrol vehicle the heat generated accumulates in the thing inside the boot area. Now no problem. Definitely i will recommend the bike to my friends and relatives. So far 7 numbers of friends and relatives bought this bike based on my recommended. My relative shared his experience after buying the bike. More convenient for lock trip and to my office.Read More
