The new generation Bajaj Chetak EV is packed with more features and technologies and several improvements have also been made
Bajaj Auto has launched the new Chetak 35 series in India, marking a significant upgrade with a redesigned platform and enhanced features. Available in three variants—3501, 3502, and 3503—the latest Chetak is set to raise the bar for electric scooters. While the prices of the 3501 and 3502 variants have been disclosed (Rs 1.27 lakh and Rs 1.20 lakh respectively, ex-showroom), the cost for the 3503 variant remains to be revealed. As the most advanced Chetak to date, it brings several improvements over its predecessors, particularly in the tech and performance departments.
The Chetak 35 series boasts an entirely new frame that houses a 3.5kWh battery, designed for improved space optimization by being positioned beneath the floorboard. This reconfiguration not only maximizes storage but also provides a claimed range of 153 kilometers on a full charge. The addition of 35 liters of underseat storage ensures practicality without sacrificing performance. The scooter’s design reflects a modern take on the classic Chetak, with sleeker turn indicators, a blacked-out headlamp surround, and a more streamlined LED tail light. These subtle design tweaks modernize the scooter without losing the nostalgic charm of the original Chetak.
The highlight of the Chetak 3501 is its cutting-edge features, including a touchscreen TFT display with smartphone connectivity, music control, integrated maps, and geo-fencing capabilities. These advancements position the Chetak 3501 to compete with other tech-heavy electric scooters in the market. Along with these features, the scooter retains a familiar monoshock suspension system at both ends and features a combination of a front disc brake and rear drum brake for consistent stopping power.
Powering the entire Chetak 35 series is a robust 3.5kW motor that offers smooth and responsive acceleration. The new platform has also allowed for enhancements in handling, with a sturdy monoshock rear and front disc brake setup. As the competition in the electric scooter market intensifies, Bajaj aims to meet consumer demand for a combination of style, features, and performance with the launch of this new series. The Chetak 35 series is set to appeal to those looking for a more sophisticated, feature-rich electric ride.
