TVS iQube review;
* Hub motor is being used
which is the most interesting part of it.
* Reliable brand, reliable
trust, with limited range of price.
* The race of electric
vehicles must start from 2 wheelers rather than 4 wheelers in India because
Bajaj has also landed its presence in the electric segment by launching
"Bajaj chetak".
* Front design is piano black
finish, body with white and each of the light presents in the system is of
L.E.D, the L.E.D Day-ram with a classy finish, headlamp with high beam and low
bear are of led lights along with the indicators.
* If you look at it from the
side it's not as like the normal scooter which TVS provides us just like
JUPITER, N-TORQ.
you will not feel
bored even after 4-5 years also because of the look and because of the elements
present in it, I mean it’s awesome.
* The badge of iQube & TVS
log is made of chrome quality finish.
here comes the awesome
factor the "electric L.E.D lights" which looks awesome at night,
* Tires - front and rear both
are made of 90 sections (12 inch - front + rare), here I would say the rear
tire would have been of 110 sections
so, the stability
would have been much better as while taking a pillion error may occur. alloy
wheel with disc brake at the front (with 220 mm)- is the same tire setup that
you see in JUPITER.
* SUSPENSION of TVS iQube
- Telescopic suspension is provided no U.S.D suspension, even Bajaj chetak
provides suspension that is also made of telescopic suspension.
* What about the rearview,
yes, it's attractive, the led tail lamp along with the indicators, with
reflectors at the back and in the side adds a great look to it compared to the
price range.
* DISPLAY- Full-color T.F.T display, the first thing you see is the charge remaining inside the battery which makes you aware of it as you are on a GO.
* To start The TVS iQube,
use brake + mode switch, along with two modes (POWER + ECONOMY), you can get
connected with your phone with the application which you will be getting from
play store, you can see over the display (you can see incoming calls,
navigations and a lot more).
* Key of TVS iQube-
Yes, it's fancy because we get the key just like the car companies provide us
all we need is to flip it out, it's unique for the two-wheeler segments.
* Park Assist- It's the most
interesting feature in the e-vehicle segment, all you need to press the front
brake and alongside press the "P" button
for a while the parking mode will be on, which will help you to reverse the
bike also with a maximum of 10 KMPH Speed.
* Seat- It's comfortable, it
is broad, with a height of 745 mm and a ground clearance of 150 mm.
* Storage- A huge storage
capacity of 21 liters is available along with a U.S.B charging port and a led
torch inside the boot. A key lock is provided inside the boot from where we can
manage to extract the 2nd battery which is available inside the easily
detachable footrest. And the other battery is been provided below the seat
storage.
AT THE END OF
THE DAY WHAT ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE AND PRICE RANGE... BECAUSE IT'S AN ELECTRIC
BIKE (TVS iQube).
* First of all, you are going to get 3 Lithium-Ion batteries (where the total capacity lies 2.25 KW/Hr.), through which you can drive up to 72 km,
But as for the
real world, you can claim up to 60-62 km in Economic mode whereas if you are
riding in Sport mode 50-55 km is the on average you are going to achieve for
sure.
* In TVS iQube
the battery pack is less as compared to Bajaj Chetak, as we ride in sport mode
the battery gets drained fast as compared to Bajaj Chetak but hold on it won't
affect the performance at all, because it contains a motor of 4.4 K. V with a
Torque of 5.9 bhp whereas Bajaj Chetak provides a Torque of 5.2 bhp.
* TVS iQube
offers a maximum speed of 78 km/hr. only if you are riding in a sport mode, and
if you are riding in economy mode then you are going to get a maximum speed of
45 km/hr.
* Core performance is going
to be the same only the exhaust sound which we get in an I.C engine vehicle. We
are not going to get over here because here no combustion is being taken place.
* Motor used in TVS iQube
is hub-mounted for that reason the cost is less as compared to chase mounted
motor for which the price range goes a bit higher and yes, the hub motors are
easy to maintain.
** things in which
"TVS iQube" needs to work on further **
*1st- The regular brake and
the front brake give better support but according to me when we cross a turning
path and try to apply the rear brake the balance is not so stable it gets
skeet-up and this type of error can be minimized easily.
*2nd- Drain of battery is too
quick in sport mode if it would have been managed in a better way the
performance would have been much better.
*3* Here the big question
arises how do you charge it?
