The legendary Bajaj Chetak EV has made a powerful comeback in India not with a petrol engine, but as a premium electric scooter. The Chetak EV brings together retro styling and smart modern features, targeting urban commuters who want a balance of style, sustainability, and daily usability. Since its revival, the scooter has received a positive response from both younger buyers and those nostalgic about the original Chetak.
Design Inspired by Heritage, Built for the Future
The Bajaj Chetak EV stays true to its iconic roots with a metal body, curvy retro silhouette, and timeless round headlamp, but it’s now packed with contemporary elements like LED lights, a digital display, and app connectivity. Available in stylish colors like Indigo Metallic, Matte Coarse Grey, and Brooklyn Black, the scooter stands out as a fashionable choice on city roads while offering the build quality of a premium two-wheeler.
Performance and Battery Range That Suits Daily Life
Powering the Chetak is a 2.9 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a BLDC motor, delivering a top speed of 63 km/h and an impressive real-world range of up to 113 km on a single charge in Eco mode. It features two riding modes Eco and Sport allowing riders to switch between efficient city cruising and slightly quicker performance. The battery is IP67-rated for water and dust resistance and takes about 4 hours to fully charge, making it suitable for overnight top-ups.
Smart Features With App Support
The scooter includes Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to access ride stats, track location, and receive security alerts via the Chetak mobile app. A digital instrument cluster displays battery level, speed, and range in a minimal yet futuristic style. Other smart features include regenerative braking, reverse mode, and onboard diagnostics, enhancing both convenience and efficiency.
Pricing and Variants in India
Bajaj offers the Chetak EV in two variants Urbane and Premium priced between ₹1.15 lakh to ₹1.35 lakh (ex-showroom). The scooter qualifies for FAME II subsidies in some states, reducing the effective on-road cost further. Bajaj is also expanding its EV dealership network to reach more urban and semi-urban customers across India.
The Chetak EV Is the Perfect Urban Commuter With Timeless Appeal
The Bajaj Chetak EV successfully revives a household name with a modern twist. With its stylish retro design, reliable range, and practical performance, it stands as a strong alternative to both petrol scooters and newer EVs like the TVS iQube and Ola S1. For anyone looking to switch to electric while retaining that classic charm, the Chetak EV is an excellent pick.
