Bajaj Chetak price in Gurgaon

For a newer rider of shorter stature, we recommend the TVS Zest 110. With a low 760mm seat height and a light 103kg weight, it is one of the most approachable machines available today. More mainstream options, such as the Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, and Suzuki Access, are also worth considering in the petrol scooter segment, provided your daughter is comfortable with their slightly heavier weight and taller seats.

In the electric scooter space, take a look at the TVS Orbiter, which is like the Scooty Zest. It also has a low 760mm seat height, which will be friendly for a shorter and newer rider. The Orbiter comes with two battery capacities - 1.8kWh and 3.1kWh - and since your daily running is rather low, it would be advisable to go with the smaller battery pack. Similarly, the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 also has an approachable 763mm perch, and its lithe build will also give your daughter confidence.

A test ride of these is essential to understand which machine your daughter finds easy to get along with. And you'll also need to decide whether you want a petrol-powered scooter or a battery-powered one. 

All three options you have shortlisted are actually very well-rounded EVs and are frontrunners in the electric scooter market in terms of sales, long-term reliability and brand recall. Therefore, picking between them will boil down to personal preferences toward design, comfort, real-world range and features. 

The TVS iQube S and Bajaj Chetak 3501 are undoubtedly more VFM here because they come with larger battery packs, thus, longer distances before you need to charge them. You can easily expect a real-world range of over 100km, even when ridden quite aggressively, which the Ather Rizta 2.9 will not be able to match because it has a smaller battery pack. 

When it comes to boot space, it might seem like all three are evenly matched, but the real-world picture is slightly nuanced. To recap, the iQube S has 32 litres of underseat storage, whereas the Ather Rizta has 34 and the Bajaj Chetak has 35. Now, on paper, it's a negligible difference, but the TVS' boot is much shallower than the Bajaj and Ather scooters. It means you'll have to be smart with how you pack your belongings in it. Plus, an imported ECE-certified helmet will not fit inside the TVS, in case that is a consideration for you. 

When it comes to after-sales experience, all three are largely good to live with, although it will vary depending on where you're located.

Take an exhaustive test ride of all three before you make a decision. All three are straightforward, practical, reliable EVs, so no matter which one you choose, it's likely you'll be happy with it. 

If you are looking for the best comfort on a petrol scooter, the TVS Jupiter 110 and Suzuki Access are the best options. The Jupiter has 12-inch wheels at both ends, which will also help round off bigger bumps more nicely. It's also got a winged preload adjuster, which will easily help you adjust preload when carrying a passenger and luggage. 

If you are looking for something in the EV space, then you should look at the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 Plus and Ather Rizta. These scooters have spacious riding positions, comfortable suspension setups and come from reputed manufacturers with widespread and proven service networks. 

Take a test ride of these scooters before you decide. 

Since you are intimately familiar with the Vida ownership experience, buying the Vida VX2 Go 3.4 will likely be your safest bet. This scooter also offers more range and performance than the TVS Orbiter and Bajaj Chetak C2501 models you have shortlisted. So, objectively speaking, you should stick with the Vida e-scooter.

The Orbiter's USP is that it is one of the most spacious electric scooters around, while on the other end of the spectrum, you have the petite Bajaj Chetak C2501. Unless you have an unusually tall or shorter physique, we'd recommend sticking with the Vida. 

The only reason you should look at the others is if you want to change things up and switch to a different brand. 

In the petrol scooter space, our top recommendations will be the TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and the Suzuki Access. These scooters have good seating and suspension comfort, are quite fuel efficient and will be easy to own and maintain as well. 

The only two electric scooters which we'd recommend under the Rs 1 lakh mark are the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 and the TVS Orbiter. Do bear in mind that the Chetak is quite a small scooter, so if you're a taller person or ride two-up frequently, this could be something to watch out for. 

The Orbiter is a nicely spacious machine, but it prioritises range over performance, so its acceleration is quite dull. 

A test ride of these machines will help you narrow down which machine is best for you. 

Since you have a long daily run, getting an electric scooter would be advisable, as in the long-term, you'll save a good chunk of money in running expenses. In the EV space, you should look at models with a 3.5kWh battery or higher, considering your daily 60km run. Options we'd recommend taking a look at are the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube as they come from reputed makes with a good reputation for reliability. 

While the Ather 450X is a fun scooter to ride, it's quite cramped and has stiff suspension, which won't be ideal for your long daily commute. Simple Energy has a very small dealer network across India, and the Ultra e-scooter is yet to prove itself in the market. So we'd advise sticking to more mainstream brands. 

In the ICE scooter space, among the practical, family-centric offerings, consider the TVS Jupiter 110/125 and the Suzuki Access. Both have some of the best ride qualities on an Indian scooter and are quite fuel-efficient, spacious, and practical. If you want something quicker, then the TVS Ntorq 125 / 150 models are worth taking a look at because they blend peppy performance and everyday usability quite well. 

Since you have a pretty long commute, in the EV space, you should look at options like the Ather Rizta 3.7, Bajaj Chetak 35 models and TVS iQube 3.5 variants so you have enough range to tackle other things outside of your daily run. These EVs will be quite a bit more expensive to buy than the petrol-powered scooters listed above, but you will recoup the additional money with the low running costs. 

We'd recommend a test ride of these machines over all sorts of roads so you can decide for yourself which is the best option for you.
