River Indie vs TVS iQube Comparison

River, a new Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup, took the wraps off its first electric two-wheeler the River Indie Scooter. River positions it as the SUV of electric scooters, focussing on lifestyle and utility. The scooter is priced at Rs. 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) and pre-bookings for the scooter have begun. Deliveries will begin in August 2023. The River Indie holds a lot of promise and seems ready to take on established rivals such as the Ola S1, Ather 450X and the likes of the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.

The TVS iQube is TVS Motor Company's electric scooter designed for customers looking to replace conventional scooters with an electric scooter. The iQube certainly makes a strong impression. The range works as claimed, offering around 95 km with a combined use of both Eco and Power, which is enough range for everyday use. What it requires is more performance, although it does achieve its claimed top speed of 78 kmph in Power mode quite effortlessly.
