Design & Style
The design of the TVS iQube 2.2 is clean, modern, and very commuter-friendly. It doesn’t try too hard to look flashy like some other electric scooters, but it still manages to look premium. The scooter now comes with a more compact battery pack, and the removable battery feature has been integrated without affecting the overall design.
It gets LED headlamps, tail lamps, and smart LED DRLs, which add a futuristic touch. The front apron is simple, and the panel gaps are minimal, showing good build quality. The footboard is wide enough, and there’s enough space for daily groceries or a backpack.
Engine & Performance
The iQube 2.2 is powered by a hub-mounted electric motor with a peak output of 4.4 kW. This allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 75 km/h, which is more than enough for urban use. It has two riding modes: Eco and Power.
-
In Eco mode, the acceleration is smooth and range-friendly.
-
In Power mode, it picks up speed quicker and is better for overtaking or when you’re in a hurry.
While it doesn’t aim to be a sporty scooter, the pickup is more than decent for its class. The scooter feels refined and doesn’t vibrate or make loud motor sounds, which adds to the premium experience.
Ride & Handling
TVS has tuned the iQube 2.2 for comfort. The suspension setup consists of telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear, and it does a fine job of handling potholes and speed breakers. Even with a pillion rider, the ride quality remains steady.
The low center of gravity due to the battery placement helps in better balance. It feels stable even at higher speeds and while cornering. The brakes are reliable, with the front disc offering strong bite and the rear drum brake handling everyday stops well.
Features & Tech
This is where the iQube 2.2 really shines. TVS has loaded it with modern features that make it feel futuristic and practical:
-
Fully Digital Display with smartphone connectivity
-
Turn-by-turn Navigation via SmartXonnect app
-
Incoming Call & SMS Alerts on the screen
-
Anti-theft Alarm & Geo-fencing
-
USB Charging Port
-
Reverse Assist – helpful in tight spaces
-
Remote Battery Lock & Unlock via mobile app
These features not only make the scooter smart but also very user-friendly for daily commuters.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
Being an electric scooter, the iQube 2.2 doesn’t run on fuel, but range matters a lot. It comes with a 3.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, which is removable in this version—making charging more flexible. TVS claims 100 km per charge, but in real-world riding with some Power mode use, you can expect 85–90 km, which is very practical.
Charging takes around 4.5 to 5 hours, and the option of charging it at home or even in your office parking makes life easier.
Price & Variants
The iQube 2.2 is priced between ₹1.06 lakh to ₹1.25 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the city and available government subsidies. It comes in different variants—some with fixed battery, some with removable—so you can choose based on your charging preference.
When you compare it with other electric scooters in this segment, the iQube 2.2 offers good value for money because of its build quality, smart features, and reliability.
