TVS
The Indian two-wheeler market is rapidly shifting towards cleaner and smarter mobility solutions. Among the frontrunners in this transition is TVS Motor Company, a well-known name in the scooter and motorcycle segment. One of their most talked-about innovations is the TVS iQube Hybrid a dual fuel scooter designed to offer the best of both worlds: electric and petrol power.
What is the TVS iQube Hybrid?
The TVS iQube Hybrid is a unique scooter that combines the benefits of an electric drivetrain with the flexibility of a petrol engine. This hybrid system allows the rider to switch between power sources depending on the need, availability, or riding condition. It is ideal for people who want the eco-friendliness of electric vehicles without worrying about charging issues or range anxiety.
Dual Fuel Technology
The core highlight of the TVS iQube Hybrid is its dual fuel system. The scooter is equipped with an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery and a small petrol engine. Riders can use electric mode for daily city commutes and switch to petrol mode for longer distances. This dual system ensures that the scooter is not only environment-friendly but also highly practical for Indian roads.
Impressive Range of 210 KM
One of the most attractive features of the iQube Hybrid is its combined range of 210 kilometers. In electric-only mode, the scooter can go around 100–120 km on a single charge. When combined with the petrol engine, the total range extends to around 210 km, making it suitable for long rides as well. This is a significant upgrade from most electric scooters currently available, which typically offer 80–100 km per charge.
Smart Features
Just like the standard iQube Electric, the hybrid version is expected to come with several smart features:
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- Smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth
- Navigation assist
- Geo-fencing
- Battery status monitor
- Regenerative braking system
These features make the scooter more intelligent and user-friendly, especially for tech-savvy riders.
Design and Comfort
The TVS iQube Hybrid retains a modern and minimalist design, with a sleek body, LED headlamps, and comfortable seating. It is built for everyday convenience with a good amount of under-seat storage, USB charging port, and ergonomic handlebar positioning. The scooter is designed to be both stylish and practical for city and highway usage.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
By offering both electric and petrol options, the iQube Hybrid helps reduce fuel costs and lowers emissions. It’s an ideal solution for people who want to transition into electric mobility but still rely on the petrol option as a backup. It also reduces the stress of finding EV charging stations, especially in remote or underdeveloped areas.
The TVS iQube Hybrid is a step forward in India’s green mobility journey. With its dual fuel system, impressive 210 km range, and smart features, it offers a perfect blend of efficiency, performance, and convenience. It caters to a wide range of users from daily commuters to eco conscious riders and sets a new benchmark in the hybrid scooter category.
