TVS Motor Accelerates Global EV Expansion With TVS iQube Launch in Kenya, the First Indian OEM to Introduce a Premium Electric Scooter in Africa

NAIROBI, Kenya--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In line with its commitment to sustainable mobility on a global scale, TVS Motor Company (TVSM), part of TVS VENU, a leading global manufacturer of two and three-wheelers, has launched its premium electric scooter, the TVS iQube, in Kenya, its first entry into Africa market. Designed for the modern rider, the TVS iQube sets new benchmarks in performance, comfort, safety, and build quality.

"The TVS iQube in Kenya marks our entry into the African EV market and reflects our continued focus on expanding innovative electric solutions across international markets. It’s a key milestone in our growth journey,” said Peyman Kargar, President, International Business, TVS Motor Company.

The TVS iQube combines high performance with superior comfort. Delivering a peak power of 4.6 kW (on par with a 125cc scooter), it accelerates from 0–40 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. Its advanced lithium-ion battery ensures durability and long-lasting performance.

“While the overall African two-wheeler market is growing at 7-10% CAGR through 2030, the electric two-wheeler market is growing much faster, with forecasts ranging from 15%-25% CAGR through 2030-31. EV penetration’s still low relative to the size of the industry and the runway promises to be extremely long,” added Vijay Gidoomal, CEO, Car & General.

With over 1 million customers, TVS iQube has been collectively ridden for more than 17.81 billion kilometres, helping avoid 6,23,595 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to planting 25 million trees, underscoring the tangible impact that electric mobility can create at scale.
