The scooter also gets a joystick on the left switchgear to navigate through the instrument console. It is available in three colour options: Mercury Grey Glossy, Mint Blue and Copper Bronze Glossy. 

TVS iQube ST Variant

The ST variant is available in further two sub-variants with 3.4kWh (0-80% charging time: 3 hours) and 5.1kWh (0-80% charging time: 4 hours and 18 minutes) capacity battery packs. The 3.4kWh battery pack sub-variant gets a claimed real world range of 100km while the 5.1kWh battery pack sub-variant gets a claimed real world range of 150km.

All three variants (base, S and ST) get a 3kW motor with a peak power output of 4.4kW. The 2.2kWh capacity sub-variant gets a top speed of 75kmph while the other 4 variants get a top speed of 78kmph. Also common across the variants is the suspension setup of a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers and a braking setup of a 220mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake. The addition of the two new variants and the commencement of the ST’s deliveries are a welcome change to the TVS iQube’s lineup as it’ll allow the manufacturer to better compete with the Ola S1 X, Ola S1 Pro, Ather Rizta, Ather 450X, Ather 450S and the Bajaj Chetak’s several variants.
