    With the new motor, TVS could use the chassis of its ICE scooters, and convert them to electric

    We have got our hands on new patent filings from TVS about a new swingarm-mounted electric motor. This motor could possibly bring down production costs for the company, and in turn result in cost-effective e-scooters.

    The new electric motor looks very similar to a conventional ICE scooter’s unit. TVS has cleverly designed this new electric motor cleverly, that won’t just cut down the production cost, but could possibly make things like replacing the rear tyre easier than doing so a hub motor EV.

    With the new design, the motor itself is placed near the floorboard, which is paired with a transmission that’s linked to the wheel axle. Interestingly, the gears get a dedicated oil chamber to keep them lubricated. This whole assembly is built in a single casing, which means that the motor can be a straight fit on a traditional ICE scooter chassis.

    So, in theory, the Hosur-based company could have the same underbone chassis of the Jupiter or NTorq 125 and just swap the engine with this electric powertrain. This would bring down the R&D as well as production costs, making EVs more affordable.

    TVS has already announced its grand plans of introducing six electric vehicles in the next two years. In fact, the company is also co-developing more EVs with BMW Motorrad. This new patent filing gives a glimpse into what the company’s future EVs could be like.

      Tvs iqube review for next buyers
      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

      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.

      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.

But it was wow it's almost 70 km running in one charge with base model. Really best at all angles. Ride is very nice as compared to other bikes ev. I have another ev also . Really the balancing and the built quality of vehicle is very best. My wife started travelling on iqube, left her car for city driving. Best bike in all fields.

Premium drive feeling. should go for the iqube, if planning for ev.
