TVS Motor Company is one of the few mainstream auto manufacturers offering an electric two-wheeler in the Indian market. The brand's iQube electric scooter was first launched in Bengaluru last year.

The electric scooter sales recently expanded to Delhi. However, the company is now gearing up to expand sales of the iQube to 20 cities across the country. This includes Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata; among others.

The company is yet to announce the list of cities that will see the launch of the iQube electric scooter. KN Radhakrishnan, Director & CEO of TVS confirmed the sales expansion plans of the electric scooter to 20 cities in India.

The TVS iQube electric scooter retails at Rs 1.20 lakh and Rs 1.08 lakh on-road in Bangalore and Delhi, respectively. Prices are inclusive of the FAME II and state subsidies offered for EVs. The company is also offering attractive finance schemes with easy repayment options.

The price also includes a 3-year/50,000km warranty, lifetime SmartXonnect basic features, 1-year RSA (Road-Side Assistance), standard accessories, on-board charger, and 1-year SmartXonnect advance subscription.

The iQube is powered by a 4.4kW hub-mounted electric motor, paired with 3 lithium-ion battery packs. The electric powertrain offers a maximum range of 75km on a single charge (Eco mode) while having a top speed of 80km/h.

The iQube can accelerate from standstill to 40km/h in 4.2 seconds (claimed). TVS also claims that the electric scooter can charge from 0 to 75 per cent in around four hours. A 0 to 100 per cent charge will take over five hours.
