With the launch of these, there are a total of five variants of the iQube electric scooter, which competes against the Ather 450, Ola S1, Bajaj Chetak, Vida V1, and other electric scooters in India. This announcement comes just days after TVS revealed about them in a post-earnings call. This will give prospective customers greater flexibility depending on the variant. Additionally with the iQube being the second-best selling electric scooter in India and is now more affordable with the launch of the new entry-level variant. TVS has sold 3 lakh iQubes so far. The new variants should help in taking in increasing the sales number.  The entire iQube will now be available at all TVS dealerships across India. Thankfully, even the cheapest variant gets a 950W charger which should go a long way in ensuring quick charging.
