Our Verdict
The rival of the iQube is
Bajaj Chetak and Ather 450X. TVS iQube's sales crossed its rival Bajaj Chetak electric scooter sales in February 2021. iQube is more powerful than Chetak and loaded with a lot of modern features which are not available in Chetak.
Ather 450X comes with more features and range in single charge than TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak but it is the costliest. Hence, if you want a powerful and durable electric scooter that is loaded with all modern features while the price is also your concern then TVS iQube electric scooter is a great choice for you.
