TVS Unveils iQube 3.0 and iQube S 3.5 Electric Scooters in Nepal

In a market steadily shifting towards sustainable mobility, TVS Motor Company has doubled down on its electric ambitions in Nepal. In collaboration with its long-time local partner Jagdamba Motors, TVS has officially launched two upgraded variants of its popular electric scooter, the TVS iQube 3.0 and the TVS iQube S 3.5.

This launch isn’t just a product upgrade; it’s a signal that the Indian two-wheeler giant is taking the evolving demands of Nepali urban commuters seriously. With government policies leaning more toward EVs and the public’s rising eco-consciousness, timing couldn’t be more strategic. The combination of enhanced range, user-friendly tech, and competitive pricing makes these new models worth every bit of attention.

Design

Both the iQube 3.0 and S 3.5 retain the minimalist and elegant design language that the iQube lineup has been known for, a clean, uncluttered silhouette with a broad, confident front apron and LED headlamps that echo modernity without being aggressive.

The build quality is where TVS tends to quietly impress, and these models continue that tradition. The seating ergonomics feel tuned for urban comfort, while the floorboard is adequately spacious, a practical edge for daily city runs. The S 3.5 variant offers more refined finishes, color options, and a more premium seat texture, elevating the commuter experience without pushing the price unreasonably.

It’s evident that while design hasn’t undergone a radical overhaul, TVS has opted for subtle, smart evolution over unnecessary embellishment, a wise move in a price-sensitive yet style-conscious market like Nepal.

Performance

Let’s get real, flashy range claims often collapse in daily usage. But TVS earns credibility here. The iQube 3.0 promises a real-world range of 100 km, backed by an IDC-rated range of 123 km. Meanwhile, the more advanced iQube S 3.5 steps it up with a real-world range of 115 km and an IDC figure of 145 km.

For urban riders, students, office-goers, delivery partners, this translates into two to three days of usage on a single charge, assuming 30–40 km daily travel. That’s a meaningful upgrade from the earlier 2.2 kWh variant, especially for users still dealing with range anxiety.

Though exact acceleration figures haven’t been disclosed officially, TVS electric scooters are known for their refined power delivery and silent torque off the line, which should remain intact in these newer variants.

Technology and Features

TVS doesn’t believe in gimmicks, and that’s reflected in the feature package. Both the iQube 3.0 and S 3.5 are expected to retain the core smart features from the iQube DNA:

• Reverse mode for easier parking

• Regenerative braking to boost efficiency

• Smart connectivity through the TVS SmartXonnect platform

• USB charging ports, digital displays, and geo-fencing

Where the S 3.5 steps ahead is in its enhanced display console, offering richer UI/UX and better visibility. Expect improved Bluetooth connectivity and deeper app integration, possibly including ride analytics and remote charge monitoring, features that urban, tech-savvy users will appreciate.

Specifications

While the official tech sheet hasn’t been revealed in its entirety for the Nepal variants, we can infer the core specifications based on the real-world range and the Indian counterparts of these scooters:

• Battery Type: Advanced Lithium-ion

• Battery Capacity (Estimated):

• iQube 3.0: Around 3.0 kWh

• iQube S 3.5: Around 3.5 kWh

• Charging Time: Approximately 4.5 to 5 hours for full charge

• Top Speed: Likely capped at 78–82 km/h, making it suitable for city roads

• Motor Power: Likely around 4.4 kW peak, based on Indian iQube models

• Brakes: Front disc and rear drum with CBS

• Tyres & Wheels: 12-inch alloy wheels for city handling

These specifications position the iQube models not as high-speed thrillers, but as reliable, efficient urban companions, exactly what Nepal’s emerging EV audience is demanding.

Price and Value Proposition

TVS has hit a pricing sweet spot with these launches. Here's how the lineup stacks up:

The festive discount of Rs. 10,000–20,000, coupled with additional exchange and finance schemes, makes the iQube more accessible to middle-income households. Also worth noting: TVS and Jagdamba Motors are running a lucky draw campaign with Rs. 50,000 cashback for four winners ,  a smart nudge for fence-sitters.

In terms of cost per kilometer, these scooters easily undercut ICE scooters over the long run ,  especially when factoring in rising petrol prices and reduced maintenance costs.

Why This Launch Matters for Nepal

Nepal’s EV two-wheeler market is heating up fast. Players like NIU, Ather, and newer Chinese entrants are pushing performance or price, but TVS brings brand familiarity, nationwide service reach via Jagdamba Motors, and real commuter credibility.

By offering three solid variants (2.2, 3.0, and S 3.5) at a tightly packed price spectrum between Rs. 3–3.6 lakh, TVS is catering to both first-time EV buyers and slightly more premium urban riders.

Moreover, TVS’s reputation for after-sales service and long-term durability (as seen in their ICE models like the Ntorq and Jupiter) could sway many skeptical buyers still worried about EV servicing and battery health.

Conclusion

The TVS iQube 3.0 and S 3.5 might not boast wild top speeds or futuristic styling, but that’s not the point. These scooters are designed for practical, everyday use, and that’s where their strength lies.

They represent a mature, refined take on electric mobility that understands what urban Nepali riders truly need: reliable range, smart features, respectable performance, and a trusted brand name. With Nepal’s EV ecosystem gaining momentum, this launch isn’t just another product rollout ,  it’s another step toward electric becoming the norm.

And TVS, it seems, is ready to lead that quiet revolution, one iQube at a time.
