One of the most popular electric scooters in the Indian market, the all-new TVS iQube is designed to deliver excellent comfort, convenience, and a great riding experience. TVS iQube offers a remarkable range of up to 212 km on a single charge.
While the iQube already offers one of the best ranges in its category, smart riding habits and proper planning can help extend the range a few more miles.
Here’s how you can improve the TVS iQube range and enjoy longer and hassle-free rides.
Practice Smooth RidingThe riding style has a major impact on the vehicle’s range. Hard braking, rapid acceleration, and sudden throttle stresses the motor to deliver extra torque, which can reduce efficiency. Riders can use Eco or power-saving modes to make the battery charge last longer. These modes draw less power compared with higher-performance settings.
Maintain Tyre PressureUnderinflated tyres increase rolling resistance, which makes the motor work harder and consume more battery power. Regularly check tyre pressure and keep it at the recommended level to reduce excessive energy loss. Also, avoid carrying extra weight as it makes the motor strain harder, reducing range. Replace the tyres if the tread is damaged or there are any punctures or cracks.
Choose Efficient Routes
Planning your route wisely can make a great difference in your electric scooter range. Choose roads with lighter traffic and fewer stops, as frequent braking consumes more battery power. With Navigation Assist in TVS iQube, selecting your destination becomes easier. The Trip Setting feature allows riders to plan and select the exact route they want to take.
Turn Off Unnecessary Electronics
Everything that draws electrical power from the battery reduces the energy available to drive the motor. So, it is vital to reduce the extra electrical load while riding. Switching off Bluetooth, infotainment systems, and other unnecessary electronics can help save battery power.
Battery CareEV battery health plays a vital role in the effective range of this TVS electric scooter over time, so proper care is a must. Avoid fully draining the battery before charging, as maintaining it above a minimum level helps save long-term capacity. It’s also important to protect the battery from extreme heat or cold, which can affect performance and reduce usable range. If the scooter is kept idle for a long period, keep it in a moderate-temperature environment and recharge it regularly.
Regular Maintenance
Cleaning electric scooters and maintaining them helps ensure that all components, such as wheels, brakes, suspension, and electrical systems, are working efficiently. A wellmaintained scooter runs smoother and avoids power losses due to friction, misalignment, or mechanical inefficiency. It is recommended to get the TVS iQube serviced only at TVS Motor Company Authorised Dealers.
Improving TVS iQube’s range does not require expensive upgrades. With proper care and making smart choices with respect to routes and accessories, TVS iQube can deliver excellent range and a smart commuting experience.
