With the launch of the electric version of the iconic Bajaj Chetak on January 14, 2020, the brand made a comeback in the scooter market. Today, the Chetak is available in five variants: C2501, 3001, 3503, 3502, and 3501. The Chetak price starts at ₹96.40 thousand and goes up to ₹1.34 lakh (ex-showroom). On the other hand, the Bajaj Chetak on road price generally falls between ₹1.07 lakh and ₹1.49 lakh, depending on RTO, insurance, and city.
Over the years, the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter has grown into a proper modern scooter. It now offers better range, more features, and a higher top speed. Many people still remember the old Bajaj Chetak, but the new electric version is a completely updated product that is mainly built for city use.
In terms of design, the Chetak is still one of the best-looking electric scooters on sale. It retains its metal body panels and a classy, retro-modern aesthetic. The seat is well padded and comfortable, there is enough space on the footboard, and the riding position feels natural. Some riders may find the ride to be slightly firm, but the Chetak handles bumps quite well and stays stable while taking turns.
The Bajaj Chetak range varies depending on the variant you choose. The Chetak base variant, the C2501 offers a company-claimed range of 113km, while the 3001 variant delivers up to 127 km. Among the 3.5 kWh battery variants, the 3503 offers a claimed range of 151 km, whereas the 3502, and 3501 variants deliver up to 153 km on a full charge.
