TVS iQube review

The TVS iQube has a simplistic, no-fuss design language. It doesn’t go for the kind of sleek profile like the Ola S1 Pro. The electric scooter delivers an average range, which is nothing to drive home about. It does offer a good suite of features and a comfortable ride experience.

Pros:

• Simplistic design
• Good features

Cons:

• Average range
• Inconsistent top speed
