Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 Review : The Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 brings a fresh wave of sophistication to India’s electric scooter market. Its classic metal body combined with modern tech, solid build, and urban practicality make it a strong choice for daily riders. Whether you’re upgrading from a petrol scooter or seeking a smart electric option, the Chetak impresses on many fronts.
The changer, meanwhile, retains the iconic retro-modern design characterized by flowing lines, chrome accents, and a horseshoe-shaped LED DRL headlamp. With a full metal body for a luxe look and a sturdy feel, it stands out amidst a whole slew of plastic-bodied competitors. Newer styling, improved paint finishes, and updated graphic touches on the taillight impart visual freshness to this 2025 scooter.
Underneath the exterior metal cladding, the chassis feels lighter and looks better balanced from a low center of gravity. Bajaj has pushed the battery into the footboard area, helping dynamics and offering smarter under-seat storage options (about 35-litre). The new battery pack, lithium-ion with a capacity of 3.2–3.5 kWh, claims a range of 120–153 km on a single charge, depending upon the variant- this should be enough for almost any city use.
Fast charging makes it convenient. With fast charging options provided, The Chetak can go from 0-80% in about 2.5 to 3 hours, allowing even a heavier use case of charging every day. Peak power of the motor goes up to 4.2 kW, offering smooth and nice acceleration friendly for city traffic with short highway stretches, with a top speed gradually reaching 73-75km/h.
At the tech side, even the base versions possess a digital TFT display that connects via Bluetooth to smartphones for navigation and incoming call alerts, as well ride analytics and OTA software updates. Features like reverse assist, hill-start, regenerative braking, and weather protection with an IP67 rating add to its convenience and reliability in the daily grind.
The Chetak attracted interest with an unprecedented sales advance, delivering over 34,000 units in March 2025 alone and, in FY25, becoming the best-selling e-scooter in India, with total sales in excess of 2.3 lakh units that year.
On the contrary, feedback from buyers mentions mixed experiences concerning after-sales service in some regions. Some owners report delays in getting serviced, a couple of glitches, and certain dealers being a tad slow on scheduled maintenance.
The Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 is an enticing package for city commuters: it has a premium metal build, a good range, fast charging, and is loaded with connected features. It’s a seller for those attracted by a legacy of styling and strong reliability. But best check your local area for service setup. If service does support you well, welcome the modern touch to a classically styled scooter into your list of options as a capable daily ride.
