In redefining electric mobility in Sri Lanka, a top global automaker operating in the two and three-wheeler segments, TVS Motor Company (TVSM), recently launched its premium electric scooter TVS iQube in Sri Lanka. 
This also marks the automaking giant’s entrance to Sri Lanka’s electric vehicle segment. 

Backed by steadfast and trusted engineering capabilities of TVSM, the TVS iQube is well known for its class leading reliability, performance, comfort, build quality and safety. The product offering is complemented by the well-established after-sales network of TVS Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd, developed over a successful and strong presence of two decades in Sri Lanka.

“Launching TVS iQube in Sri Lanka is an important milestone in the sustainable mobility space. TVS iQube has best-in-class EV and connected technology, resulting in greater performance, comfort, safety and significant annual savings for our customers. We are confident that TVS iQube, with its unmatched lithium-ion battery and proven track record of over 300,000 satisfied customers globally, will redefine electric mobility in Sri Lanka,” TVS Motor Company Senior Vice President EV Business Manu Saxena said during the launch event held in Colombo recently. 

According to the company officials, the TVS iQube provides unmatched performance and intelligent connectivity features. With a peak power of 4.6KW, equivalent to a 125cc scooter, TVS iQube can be accelerated from 0-40 kmph in mere 4.2 seconds. 

Utilising advanced lithium-ion battery technology, this two-wheeler ensures long battery life providing peace of mind to customers. Given recyclability of Lithium-ion batteries, the company officials highlighted on the minimal environmental impact from the vehicle along with potential cost savings. 

“Over and above being built with world-class technology, TVS iQube can save Rs.120,000 annually on running expenses,” they said.

As a testimony to its robust build quality, endurance and highly efficient hub motor with two Lithium-ion battery packs, TVS iQube has achieved the unthinkable feat of riding around Sri Lanka and clocking 1463 kilometres in seven days, charging 16 times along the journey that cost only Rs.2522 in electricity charges.

TVS iQube, priced at Rs.10,99,760, is now available for test rides and bookings at TVS Lanka dealerships in Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara, Galle and Jaffna and will be offered islandwide soon.
