PH-retailed TVS iQube receives a refresh, made more affordable

MANILA: TVS has updated the iQube for the Philippine market, which comes with useful upgrades yet a smaller price tag.

The arrival of the electric motorcycle’s mid-cycle refresh version—which was unveiled at Wheeltek’s 50th Anniversary Exhibition over the weekend—in the country followed the nameplate’s surpassing the one-million-units sales milestone. 

This is what buyers will get with the new TVS iQube.

Updated features  

This modern motorcycle is equipped with a hub-mounted electric motor, which TVS says is comparable to a 125-cubic centimeter engine-powered scooter. Such a setup can deliver:

Maximum output (in horsepower)	6.1
Peak torque (in Newton-meters)	140
Acceleration (0-40 kilometers per hour [kph>)	4.2 seconds
Top speed (in kph)	82

The emissions-free powertrain comes with two ride modes: Power and Eco, which allows riders to pick whether they want stronger oomph or cover more range.

Its two 3.5-kilowatt-hour, non-swappable lithium-ion battery packs can provide real-world range of 115 kilometers (km)—slightly higher than the previous version’s 100-km range. Juicing up the energy bank onboard from 0–80 percent takes less than three hours using a 950-watt portable charger. 

The battery system also carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, while a battery management system keeps tabs on the pack's operation.

Further, the new TVS iQube rolls on 12-inch tubeless tires and has 32-liters underseat  storage.

Other creature comforts that the TVS iQube has are:

• Seven-inch digital display
• TVS Connect app integration
• Pillion backrest
• Duplex tubular-frame front suspension
• Hydraulic twin-tube rear shock absorbers 

Moreover, the new TVS iQube measures:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height; in millimeters [mm>)	1,835 x 690 x 1,195
Wheelbase (in mm)	1,330
Ground clearance (in mm)	157
Payload capacity	130

The spruced-up TVS iQube is being introduced in the Philippines at P99,800, which can be had in Mercury Grey and the new Starlight Blue finish. It also comes with a warranty covering the battery and motor for five years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

According to TVS Motor Company Vice President for EV International Business Madhu Prakash, the iQube is intended to combine cleaner transportation with everyday practicality. 

“The TVS iQube reflects our vision of a cleaner and a greener future, combining advanced technology, everyday practicality, and a seamless riding experience. We are confident that it will redefine the electric scooter segment in the Philippines and meet the evolving needs of urban commuters seeking smart, convenient, and sustainable transportation solutions,” TVS Motor Company Vice President for EV International Business Madhu Prakash was quoted as saying.
