Indian two wheeler major TVS Motor has announced the launch of its TVS iQube electric scooter in three variants. TVS Motor claims that the products come with best-in-class on-road range of 140 km on a single charge. The e-scooters will offer a host of features such as 7 inch TFT touchscreen, clean UI, infinity theme personalisation, voice assist, TVS iQube Alexa skillset, intuitive music player control, OTA updates, fast charging with a plug-and-play carry along with charger, vehicle health, safety notifications, multiple Bluetooth and Cloud Connectivity options, 32 litre storage space and so on.
