I have been around scooters for a long time now. Ten years riding testing breaking fixing them. So when I saw the new TVS iQube 2025 edition I didnt feel that usual wow moment people online keep shouting about. Maybe thats just me or maybe everyone is too hyped these days. Anyway lets talk simple. Real
The design looks nice but also safe you know what I mean
First look its clean. Polished in a TVS kind of way. But I swear it still feels like the older iQube got a new shirt and came back. Not bad. Just not brave. I remember a shoot last year where the white body panel threw so much sunlight back that the cameraman literally said bro move this thing to shade my eyes burning. The 2025 colors try to fix that a bit but sunlight still hits it weird
I mean scooters can look bold these days. Some brands really take risks. TVS still playing safe cricket here
The screen is big nice but the software gets moody
The TFT screen good size decent clarity. But the software. Ah. Same EV attitude sometimes. One ride my navigation froze mid traffic and the scooter screen just kept showing that spinning loading thing. I was just sitting thinking great now my scooter acting like an old computer
The TVS app too shows its own mood swings. Battery shows 75 then suddenly 68 like its guessing. Not a deal breaker but yeah it pokes you inside. Specially when you spent real money

The company promises more range but road reality is its own story
TVS claims range boost this year. Better motor response. And sure on paper it all looks heroic. But when you ride in actual traffic the numbers behave different. My older iQube gave around 115 to 120 in mixed rides. This one feels a bit better but not that claimed dream number
Performance is smooth refined. But not crazy sporty. Feels like a sensible person made it. Not someone who wants you to grin every signal. If you are the kind who pushes throttle like its a mood then yeah you might feel the scooter too well behaved
Ride feel is classic TVS and that part they always get right
Handling good. Suspension mostly balanced. Brakes give confidence. Except the rear shock sometimes takes potholes a bit personally and throws the hit straight to the pillion
One morning on OMR road I hit a long bump at decent speed. The handle stayed totally steady. That moment I literally said okay TVS engineering still got hands of gold in this area
Price is not cheap these days nothing is but value depends on you
EV prices everywhere have gone up. So iQube 2025 also sits in that higher bracket. But for what it gives its somewhat fair. But yeah lots of new brands price way lower to grab market. Tough competition now
TVS knows their brand trust is strong so they dont go crazy aggressive in pricing. You pay a bit extra but you get stability long term comfort peace of mind That kind of deal

Competitors shake things up the real heat is here
Ather Ola Chetak all are playing flash show drama features new updates every few weeks. And the youth loves this style. So iQube comes as the calm responsible friend in a group of loud ones
For daily city rides office grocery small trips mind peace rides this scooter fits nicely. People who want stability choose this sort of thing
Final opinion should you buy this thing or wait
If you want an EV that works more than it shows off then yes this is a good pick. Its stable dependable no drama most days. Good for people who want quiet daily life machines
If you want thrill flashy screens sharp design head turning attitude then maybe look around. This one is for the people who say I just need a smart EV that doesnt bother me
