The ST variation has now been added to the TVS iQube range’s collection. The top-spec electric scooter, the iQube ST, was shown off by TVS Bikes in India last year and is currently available for purchase in Bengaluru for a starting price of Rs 1.55 lakh, ex-showroom. There are two versions of the iQube ST: 3.4kWh and 5.1kWh. The following are the scooter’s top five features.
Design & Its Variants
Except for the ST stickers on the front fender and body of the electric scooter, the iQube ST’s design is the same as that of the other variations. There are two variations of the top-of-the-line ST trim, mainly distinguished by their different battery packs (3.4 kWh and 5.1 kWh). The iQube range now comes in three trim levels and five variants thanks to this innovation. Copper Bronze Matte, Coral Sand Satin, Titanium Grey Matte, and Starlight Blue are the available color options for the iQube ST.
Aside from its stylish style, the TVS iQube has excellent quality. The scooter is beautifully constructed in the traditional TVS style, from the paint job to the switchgear and the clarity of the TFT display.
Features
In terms of functionality, the ST has a larger 7.0-inch touchscreen that can be found on the dash and connects features via Bluetooth through an app. In addition, the cluster offers four color schemes, TPMS, navigation, and other features. The HMI joystick, which is used to manually operate the display, is also included with the ST model.
Battery & Motor
The 4.4kW BLDC hub motor of the iQube ST has a rated torque of 33 Nm. The battery pack possibilities of the “ST” model, however, are the main talking point. The 3.4kWh battery-powered iQube ST is said to have a real-world range of 100 km. It takes two hours and fifty minutes to charge from 0% to 80%.
For anyone seeking a scooter with an extended range, the model with a 5.1kWh battery pack should be adequate. Its stated 150 km real-world range should be more than sufficient to cover the typical two- to three-day home-office-home travel.
The large battery takes four hours and eighteen minutes to fully charge from zero to eighty percent.
Hardware
The telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers at the back support the tubular frame of the iQube ST. The 12-inch wheels of the electric scooter are equipped with a drum brake in the back and a disc brake at the front.
Price
The starting price of the TVS iQube 2.2 kWh model is Rs. 1,17,630. The costs of the remaining variations are Rs. 1,46,996, Rs. 1,56,788, Rs. 1,65,905, and Rs. 1,85,729 for iQube Standard, iQube S – 3.4 kWh, iQube ST – 3.4 kWh, and iQube ST – 5.1 kWh. The iQube prices listed are the average ex-showroom.
