Will gift it to my dad.his first vehicle was a 2nd hand chetak
Electric scooters, and EVs, will be severely limited in adoption by infrastructure. Chetak's target buyer probably lives in a 20-storey apartment building, and his Chetak is parked in a cellar garage. Government and Urban Development Ministry needs to come up with a standard with which a charging point at an apartment building's parking spot can somehow link with its flat-resident's electricity bill. And, there needs to be a method by which my neighbor can't plug his EV into my socket (maybe some device authentication tech). Until that happens, only people living in independent houses or villas can be brave enough to buy EVs.
Bajaj Chetak has increased the price of their electric scooter for second time without any noticeable up gradation. The first hike was Rs.5000/- and thereafter a whooping hike of Rs.27000/- in March 2021.”Bajaj” is exploiting the trust of Indian customers who are having great faith in this brand. The manufacturer has little sentiments for their trusted customer and enchasing every opportunity to swallow the subsidy amount and hard earned money of the buyers.
As a thumb rule the production cost goes down with increase in production volume! Then why so frequent and intense price hikes? This is not only the story of Bajaj Chetek, every second electric scooter that gain slightest popularity has adopted the similar strategy, like Ather-450x has done few months back.
They have no ethics, no sentiments for environment, country or people. I appeal to general public to boycott this product.
Yes it was the first scooter that my father bought too. And used it for 15 yrs
So many memories as a child with Chetak. It was just perfect.
There is nothing astonishing as far as the designed is concerned. There is already a vehicle which looks similar, the Yamaha Fascino.. the handle lines and the body lines are identical to the Fascino.
What about vespa?
It does not look like fasino. This looks better.
These EVs make people conscious of every kilometre they are travelling, so serves lesser purpose if the vehicles have lower range. These can be mainstreamed only after achieving a satisfactory price to performance(range) ratio, otherwise just expensive toys for show off.
I own a Bajaj Stride 92 model, which I think probably nowhere exists in India. Still in excellent condition.
Bajaj has comeback now with a scooter and we trust Chetak EV for the same. Already booked in Pune and waiting for delivery.
I MUST SAY, DEFINITELY BETTER THAN ATHER AND OTHER AVAILABLE EV SCOOTERS IN MARKET.
Bajaj already captured international markets
What about Cost of Batteries Replacement and Maintenance ??.
Naye Bharath ki Nayi Chetak.. Hamara Bajaj :)
Should have included fast charge if the range is less than 100 kms!!! sad...
How do you charge the battery if you do not stay at the Ground floor in an apartment complex? Thanks,
After 2 years, the chetak has finally arrived in our city Visakhapatnam! 🥵.
Bought Chetak a week back, Chetak has a flaw with keyless entry, today the vehicle drove for almost more than a kilometer without the keys 🔑 with rider this looks like a great technical flaw and error by chetak engineering team , aay one can intelligently take this vehicle and vanish off to unknown location 📍please think twice to buy chetak without subsidy as well
Man..60? For real?
When can we expect to have it launched in hyderabad ?..please reply
My Father is Using Bajaj Chetak Scooter and it's been over 16 years. Now he's thinking of switching to Bajaj Chetak EV. But doubtful about reliability and is it good for carrying two persons. Any Owner experience. Plzz answer.
Top speed of just 60 & limited range make it a failure....though the design & asthetic is world class. Bajaj needs to increase that range to 150...else it's not practical scooter. All hopes on Suzuki now. If manufacturers start giving too much importance on looks then scooter loose their practicality which is the main purpose of buying any scooter . Electric Scooter makers/designers should not mind if scooter becomrs fat or looks bit out of shape in the interest of fitting larger battery...and higher performance. Else it becomes All show ....no go.
60kph is enough for a scooter for day to day use... Going above 60 makes things uncomfortable if roads aren't good
Revolt is ahead in terms of range and top speed..also providing feature of removable battery
Well, I was just wondering about the charging connection for people who live in the apartments. How would they get one installed in the basement or the parking lot? The society certainly won't allow getting one installed.
How much electricity units it consume for full charge from 0 to 100%
Bajaj Has shorten the seat length old model 3 people could seat easily but in this Chetak Electric seat is shot 2nd person might not be so comfortable behind
How is the space for the pillion rider? Looks less than adequate.
And what about range when 2 people are there?
What if I want to travel 60kms somewhere and come back 60kms I did that once on a dio, since it was a petrol I filled it, how about electric scooter? I will do the full charging and go one side 60kms and have to go again 60km but I see that after 15kms the battery will be low and where will I charge?
why would recommend this over the ather 450x
Y Scoty kab tak milbsakti h bazar m please give me answer
The front is not inspired but outright copied from the Vespa lineup... Sad.
Since the 80s
I suggest electric scooters must have a battery compartment just like the batteries in a remote, easy to remove and replace with an already charged battery, and also providing charging stations with pre charged batteries ready in hand.
Possible to charge it from 15a plug?
lot of childhood memories. Happy to see this scooter in all new avatar.
Chetak ruled for many years... In the Indian market as a legend. The company should have come up with a different approach.
What is the weight difference between urbane and premium?
What will be the battery replacement cost ?
When will it comes to Chennai
How many hours have to charge and how many km can drive
is there any facility available at public places for charging ?
My problem is most of the population going to buy a scooter lives in apartments. And the scooter is parked somewhere under the building or wherever there is space to park. There should be a wall socket charger too. This fixed charger thing isn't gonna work. TVS i qube has a better option. They claimed that they are going to give a normal wall socket plug.
Bajaj could have gone with Monoshock suspension to make it more comfortable for city rides. And more stylish
nice to see pune in the video 😀
How many KMS will the scooter run in full charge? What is the batter warranty?
I like the design. They should also offer this scooter with a 150 cc IC engine as well.
Mileage matters in india, already fuel price are getting higher like anything. But e bike with less mileage won't make a change. Better make efficient bike....
I wud have loved if chetak also came with a powerful petrol engine
We will be glad if we gar electric pulsar from them 😍😍😍😍 i will buy 2
Next time increase range to 150km .Then Electric scooters will sell like anything
or Super Fast Charging option!
80km range is good for 99% of urban/city users. With charging points in office and home.
is Blootooth Speaker 🔊 Available for music 🎵?
@2:34 Can one explain what are those buttons ?
Those are driving modes
Searched everywhere, without any luck
Are electric scooter powerful than Suzuki access or activa?
Anyone??
Indian companies making excellent EVs.. Ather, Chetak, Tata Nexon!! India will dominate EV industry in few years :)
Appears to be made for shorter riders, may not be suitable for tall riders with a lady sitting sideways
Please review Tigor Amt
It's front side look like jadu 😅but back side is 😍
Sir make video on TVS iqube
Things like this is not gonna work in Indian market if you are giving the battery life of
Do you have any showroom for these products in Bangladesh?
Why their is no subsidy on chetak.
I think its not for tall persons as there is no space for pillion while the host is riding.
Waiting for petrol version
I will buy it with no questions asked
*Old chetak is❤️*
Valuable information!
Thanks
Girish
can they make one with a 125cc BS6 engine with more speed bandwith....
Was waiting for the Autocar India drive of Bajaj Chetak Electric. Thanks a lot for this.🙂🙏
I saw u in Pune University campus..😎😁😀
Bajaj chetak should update with Universal input charger cord
How much is the electric consumption in units ?
Really less bro....like 10ruppes for 70km 😉😉
Plz let me know how many km u drove in single charge?
90km
What if battery charge finish
#Thums up for European feel like scooter by Indian brand Bajaj proud on you👍👍 💪💪 😉
Wow Chetak once again on road☺️☺️ with a new look...
1 lakh for a scooter is just too much.
It's balanced when petrol and maintenance price is considered.
New honda activa 6G's price is 1,08,000. 🤗
At this point chetak is just nostalgia
Because be honest, no one will buy it for 1 lakh
No one??? I think your wrong
Any new BS6 scooter will cost 91-95k.
Woooo..... It's amazing...😍😍😍✌️✌️✌️
Battery should be detachable..we should charge at home..then only make sense for Mumbaikars
If it's 90 claiming, it'll probably go around 60 kms on eco mode. Means one has to charge every time after a small trip. Not that practical and that too limited to 60kph. Nice scooter but I'll pass.
We can't ever compare with the bajaj scooter that used to be!!!chetak was chetak!!!!
Electric scooter have a long way to go still
Is available in Karad
is it gear one or gearless?
One gear and its reverse gear
How much in one full charge
Seat length looks short. 2 people may not be able to sit properly.

MUY CHIDORI 🔥🔥BAJAJ CHETAK
Chetak when compared to Ather 450x is great bargain :)
ather 450x costs around 2.5 lacks including subscription fee
In od meter 53% battery is range is 61 km. So around 110 to 120 for full charge100% maybe
Better to buy Arther 450x instead of Bajaj chetak ev.more features in similar price
To put simply,
For collage students we have Ather and Avera
For people in their 40s and 50s we have Chetak!
Sir Chetak Electric Vehicle
1) Seat Design Not looking good
2) Plz break up two seats
3) Plz release Petrol vehicle not depend on complete electric
Electricity expense??
2 units 12rs
Plz relaunch the old model chetak scooter it's the best scooter
What if there's a tire puncture scenario
Problem with electric as of now is that most of the buyer atleast for two wheeler would be young and thus, mostly living on rent. Now getting a power plug fixed in a rented department and then moving can be seen as a difficult thing. It's the problem of scale I believe. The government can ask every housing society to put in atleast 2 power chargers or something and charge by meter readings or something.
Hey Autocar, can you share any contact from Bajaj who is heading the southern region, they have a pathetic strategy and dimwit sales team... One cannot change the colour once booked online, you will only get 50% refund of the booking amt if you cancel for changing the scooter color...sales dont know if bike has a esim for tracking..n most don't know when delivery start.. They talk as if they are doing a favor by launching this scooter
Not available in all parts of India.😪
Awesome design
an eye candy for sure
Put 100cc petrol engine in it...then see how it rocks...
Price will be an issue for buyer
Bajaj plz launch the petrol chetak 💓
A kind request 🎀
You spend more than a lakh just to reach 60kmph😆😆and then wait for it to charge
