Bajaj Chetak: Bajaj Auto launched a new update to its top-selling electric scooter series, with the latest launch of the new Bajaj Chetak 3001. Based on the Chetak 35 EV platform, this version is an improved model of the Chetak 2903. Priced at ₹99,990 (ex-showroom) by the company, it offers a significant competitor in the rising EV market. Its elegant appearance and practical features make it an ideal choice for urban commuters looking for value and dependability.
Battery and Range
One of the notable aspects of the Bajaj Chetak 3001 is its new battery configuration. The scooter features a 3.0 kWh battery mounted on the floorboard that enables an improved riding experience while opening up space for storage. It provides a whopping range of 127 km on a single charge due to the modern battery architecture. This makes it extremely capable for daily commutes in cities.
Charging and Efficiency
For increased convenience, Bajaj provides a 750W charger that charges the scooter from 0 to 80% within 3 hours and 50 minutes. The quick-charging support guarantees less downtime and improved usability for urban commuters. The smart battery positioning not only enhances efficiency but also supports enhanced weight distribution and balance.
Boot Space and Utility
The Chetak 3001 has a boot space of 35 liters, an important upgrade that gives it added usefulness. With the generous storage, one can easily fit in a helmet and grocery bags, a main concern for scooter purchasers. This makes the scooter an ideal pick for single riders as well as small families.
Technology and Features
Bajaj hasn’t spared any features with this upgrade. The Chetak 3001 has feature-rich options including music control, a “Guide Me Home” light feature, hill hold assist, reverse light, and auto-flashing stop lamp. They enhance its functionality and attractiveness in real-life situations. Plus, it’s the only scooter in its class with a full metal body, which gives it greater durability and safety.
Build and Segment Advantage
Through the integration of premium features with strength in build, Bajaj Chetak 3001 is a new benchmark for electric scooters. The body made entirely of metal not only offers a rich look but also durability over a long period. It is for riders who want more than just performance — offering style, safety, and comfort.
Market Position and Vision
On launch, Eric Vas, Urbanite Business Unit President of Bajaj Auto, underlined that the Chetak 3001 marks a new benchmark in mass-scale EV adoption. Tipped to appeal to a broad customer base, this model underscores Bajaj’s focus on innovation and mass-market electrification.
