TVS iQube ST (5.1 kWh)

Among all the electric scooters currently on the market, the ST is the highest-spec variant in the 2024 iQube range and has the largest battery capacity (5.1kWh). It promises better performance, a top speed of 82km/h, and a claimed range of 150 km on a full charge, all while keeping features like a larger 7-inch TFT colour touchscreen display. For the larger battery, a 0 to 80% charge is estimated to take 4 hours and 18 minutes. Though it has the maximum top speed of 82 kmph, it's also the heaviest and hence the slowest in the stated 0 to 40km/h acceleration time.
