TVS iQube ST vs Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 – Powerful growth occurred in the electric scooter segment as everybody sought scooters not just show-pretty in form but in functionality, reliability, and stress-free everyday life. The most prominent examples in this respect are those of the TVS iQube ST and the new Ola S1 Pro Gen 2. What it comes down to is what you need: comfort, reliability, or tech-forward performance?
Design And Road Presence
The theme behind the well-placed iQube ST is a very refined but minimalist design. Smooth, high enough and well proportioned-it is the iQube ST, fully adapted to a smooth ride through daily urban traffic. It hasn’t got any of that chrome flashiness that screams, but it is best suited for people looking for something subtle, yet pronounced. The opposing side of this extreme is represented by the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2, which completely follows the lines that everything is modern and futuristic; sharp lines mixed with minimalist EV styling, and headlight-taillight design that attracts a lot of eyeballs, find an instant application on the street with its city presence. If a young, bold motorising persona is your thing, the S1 Pro will rank very high in your preferences.
Riding Comfort Everyday Use
The iQube ST, thus, tries to be something dully practical as a daily commuter, bringing in seat comfort together with softer suspension and smooth throttle responses-thus comfortably lifting off and weaving skillfully through traffic.
The S1 Pro Gen 2 would present a rather sporty engine note at the back with somewhat sharper throttle response as opposed to iQube’s legions-there are better start-offs and quicker overtake, but not very comfortable along roads full of potholes, especially in a busy city. School or office commute, though, iQube has a much better bet.
Range Battery and Charging

The real-world range of the iQube ST sits comfortably somewhere around 140-150 km. Meanwhile, under the aegis of Grid’s official fast charging, long rides are made easy. S1 Pro Gen 2 remains a big seller chunk of power at some higher count, keeping its claimed range. Heavy throttling during city rides may kill the range, though. In fact, charging stations are ramping up. The iQube remains a tad head and shoulders above for consistent ranging and balanced battery management while going on day-to-day stuff.
Reliability And Maintenance
TVS has not only better after-sales service, but also spares comparatively lower priced; hence, ensuring that maintenance in all these years remains within access for the common man. Improving, however, in some areas, the service at Ola Electric has been marred with delays for both service and software updates. In the long run, it makes the iQube ST seem that much more secure.

An electric scooter that would be comfortable, reliable, durable for everyday use, and requires little maintenance is something worth considering as a contender if the target is the TVS iQube ST. However, for those sporty performance and modern EV styling of where the throttle response occurs in addition to ignoring some range and charging hell occasionally, Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 promises to be one hell of a ride!
