Do you remember the days when Bajaj scooters used to resonate in the streets? At that time Chetak was not just a scooter but the identity of every family. People used to say – “Hamara Bajaj” and it had really become an emotion. Now the same legend has returned in a completely new electric avatar. The new Bajaj Chetak EV is not just an electric scooter but a journey that refreshes old memories and blends them with the technology of the future. The question is – will the new Chetak also be able to bring back the same magic of the old days? Let’s find out.
Design
The new Chetak EV refreshes old memories at first glance. Bajaj has retained its classic design but has also added a modern touch to it. Steel body, round headlamp, and that iconic Chetak logo – all this forces everyone to turn back and look at it.
This scooter is neither too flashy nor boring, but a perfect balance, seeing which riders of all ages will feel connected.
Performance and battery
If you think electric vehicles are weak, then the new Chetak EV will change your mind. It has a 4 kW brushless motor, which gives tremendous performance especially in city traffic. It has two riding modes – Eco mode and Sport mode. You get more range in Eco mode, while you get extra power in Sport mode.
Talking about the battery, it has a 3 kWh lithium-ion battery. It gives a range of about 95 km on a single charge. That is, if you use it to commute to office every day, then you will have to charge it only 2-3 times a week. The charging time is about 5 hours, which is considered standard in this segment.
Features and technology
The old Chetak was strong and simple, but the new Chetak is also smart! It gets a full-digital instrument cluster, which gives information like speed, battery level and range.
Apart from this, it also has Bluetooth connectivity, so that you can connect it to the phone and enjoy features like call alert and music control.
Talking about safety, it has dual-channel ABS, which is a very important feature for Indian roads. Apart from this, it also has technology like IP67 water proofing and regenerative braking, which helps in increasing battery life.
Comfort
If a scooter has performance and design but no comfort, then the fun remains incomplete. Bajaj has also taken care of this. The new Chetak EV is known for its comfortable seating. It has a single seat, on which the sitting experience is quite good.
The suspension has been tuned according to Indian roads, which reduces the shock even on potholes and bad roads. However, if you use it daily with two people, the seat may seem a bit tight.
It weighs 132 kg, which makes it very easy to drive in traffic.
Price
Now let’s talk about the most important thing – the price. Bajaj Chetak EV comes in two variants – Urbane and Premium.
- Urbane variant: Basic but with great features.
- Premium variant: With more advanced features and finishing.
Their ex-showroom prices start at ₹ 1.52 lakh. Considering its features, brand value and electric scooter market, this price can be said to be quite competitive.
