TVS iQube S 4.7kWh details
Larger battery version replaces the previous iQube S variant
As the name suggests, the TVS iQube S 4.7kWh features a 4.7kWh battery pack, offering a claimed IDC range of 175km. This replaces the earlier iQube S variant, which came with a 3.5kWh unit. The larger battery does add weight, with the iQube S now tipping the scales at 128.8kg. That makes it noticeably heavier than the base iQube 3.5kWh (119.1kg) but still lighter than the range-topping iQube ST 5.3kWh (132kg).
Mechanically, the scooter remains unchanged, with the motor producing a peak output of 4.4kW. This translates to a claimed top speed of 82kph and a 0-40kph time of 4.3 seconds.
TVS states that the new iQube S’s battery can be topped up from 0 to 80 percent in 4 hours, making it quicker to charge than the base iQube variants with smaller battery packs, including the 3.1kWh and 3.5kWh versions.
In addition to the larger battery, the iQube S gets two new colour options – Magnificence Purple Beige and Harlequin Blue Beige – which join the existing Titanium Grey Matte shade.
The TVS iQube line-up now consists of three variants: the base iQube (available with 2.2kWh, 3.1kWh and 3.5kWh battery options), the iQube S with the new 4.7kWh battery and the range-topping iQube ST with a 5.3kWh battery.
