TVS Motor Company has launched its electric scooter, the TVS iQube, in Kenya.
The iQube will be distributed and supported in Kenya through Car & General, leveraging the company’s established sales and after-sales network across the country.
“Driven by our vision to transform lives through exciting, responsible, and sustainable mobility, we are proud to introduce the TVS iQube in Kenya, marking our entry into the African market,” said Peyman Kargar, President, International Business, TVS Motor Company.
According to Car & General CEO Vijay Gidoomal, Africa’s two-wheeler market is expected to grow at an estimated 7–10% CAGR through 2030, while the electric two-wheeler segment could grow at 15–25% CAGR through 2030–31.
The TVS iQube is designed for urban commuting and offers a range of smart and practical features, including smartphone connectivity through the SmartXonnect platform, navigation, ride insights, charging information and reverse parking assist. It can be charged using a portable charger connected to a standard household power outlet.
The scooter will be available in Kenya in two variants: the TVS iQube 3.5, offering a claimed real-world range of up to 115 kilometres, and the TVS iQube 2.2, with a range of up to 75 kilometres.
TVS Motor says the electric scooter can also deliver significant running-cost savings, with riders potentially saving approximately KES 47,000 annually compared with a conventional 125cc petrol-powered scooter through lower energy and maintenance costs.
Both variants come with a two-year or 30,000-kilometre warranty, whichever comes first, alongside nationwide after-sales support through Car & General dealerships.
