Pros Cons of TVS Orbiter

Pros

  • Massive 34-litre underseat storage
  • Stability of the 14-inch front wheel
  • Accessible 760 mm seat height
  • The BaaS pricing structure
  • The clear LCD dashboard

Cons

  • The capped 68 kmph top speed
  • No front disc brake
  • Polarising boxy design
  • V2 variant takes 4 hours to charge
  • Windscreen issues

Verdict

By capping the top speed at 68 kmph, TVS sacrificed highway capability to maximise the Orbiter’s battery range and keep its running costs low. The addition of the 14-inch front wheel handles broken city roads beautifully, and the massive 34-litre boot acts like a secondary trunk. If you want a fast, aggressively styled weekend toy, this one is not the right option. But if you want an incredibly practical, dependable daily workhorse that gets you across the city safely, the TVS Orbiter stands out.

Preetam concludes,

“For anyone looking at a decent range, funky design and affordable pricing, the Orbiter in its current form still makes sense, more so for gig workers who need the space and practicality it offers and don’t really need more than the performance it packs.”

Pros Cons TVS iQube

Pros

  • Its IP67-rated battery pack delivers a practical claimed range of 100 km (Economy mode) and 75 km (Power mode).
  • It does the 0-40 kmph run in just 4.2 seconds.
  • Cruising feels effortless and it reaches a maximum speed of 83 kmph in Power mode.
  • Its 12-inch wheels, telescopic front forks, and twin rear shocks give you a plush ride quality, without any rattling panel noises.
  • Braking performance feels reassuring due to the 220 mm front disc and adequately grippy tyres.
  • Build quality, fit, and finish are impressive when compared to other EVs.
  • Its screen links to SmartXonnect for navigation, geo-fencing, ride analytics and reverse park assist.

Cons

  • The 650 W portable charger, which takes 4.5 hours to charge from 0-80 percent, needs to be bought separately for about Rs. 10,000.
  • Long-distance touring capability is restricted by the current public fast-charging network.
  • It lacks optimum top-end punch, especially when trying to maintain highway speeds.

Verdict

The TVS iQube is truly a well-engineered electric scooter. The package combines conventional styling with excellent build quality and refined riding dynamics. In fact, even the real-world range mostly matches factory claims, and the balanced suspension setup handles rough roads exceedingly well.

Preetam Bora rightfully said in his review, “As far as moving to electric mobility is concerned, in the current scheme of things, the iQube certainly is one of the very best electric scooters available on sale right now, possibly even one of the top 5 electric scooters that you can choose.”

Sadly, the slow home-charging times and a separate exorbitant price tag for the charger are factors that dampen the buying proposition. However, if you want a reliable, comfortable, and well-engineered electric scooter, the iQube sits comfortably among the best.
