Service schedule
| Service | Due at (whichever comes earlier, from the date of purchase) |
|---|---|

| 2nd service | 8,000 km or 12 months |

From TVS's iQube owner's manual (3.1 kWh, Rev 2, September 2026) and TVS's iQube maintenance schedule, which give the same intervals. Every service is paid — TVS says the iQube has no free services. On another battery size (2.2 kWh, 3.5 kWh, ST), check the manual that came with yours.
No engine oil — what an iQube service covers
- Software: the vehicle software version is checked and updated at every service.
- The check: brakes (pad wear, rear shoes and free play), steering, axle and swing-arm bolts, tyre pressure, the charger and charging, every electrical indication and the instrument cluster, and the controller cable bolts.
- Diagnostics: the service reminder is reset and fault codes are read with TVS's diagnostic tool, then the scooter is test-ridden.
Parts and fluids
| Item | When / what |
|---|---|
| Front fork oil | Replace every 24,000 km — Gabriel front fork fluid, 91 cc |
| Brake fluid | Topped up at the first four services, replaced at the 5th (20,000 km or 48 months) — DOT 3 / DOT 4 |
| Brake hose, master cylinder cups | Replace at the 5th service |
| Tyres | Replace when worn to the tread wear indicator (TWI); have the rear tyre changed at a TVS dealer equipped for electric scooters — it sits on the hub motor |
| Tyre pressure (cold) | Front 26 psi, rear 34 psi (3.1 kWh) |
| Rear brake play | 10–15 mm at the lever end — check it between services |
Warranty — why the dates matter
TVS's warranty for the iQube 3.1 kWh runs 3 years or 50,000 km, whichever comes earlier, and covers the vehicle, battery, motor, controller and charger. Its terms exclude a vehicle on which a scheduled paid service isn't done at a TVS dealer when it falls due — so on an iQube, keeping to the dates above protects the battery warranty too. Brake linings, brake fluid, fork oil and tyres aren't covered (tyres go to the tyre maker's warranty).
Between services
- Charging: don't leave it uncharged for long — TVS asks for at least 30% once every 15 days — and use only the TVS charger.
- Parking: in the shade, on firm ground, away from water. The battery warranty excludes damage from direct sun or heat, and from a battery left fully discharged.
- Ignition: switch off and take the key out when you park — leaving it on drains the battery.
