Bajaj Chetak Electric
The Bajaj Chetak Electric has a top speed of 73 km/h, produces 4 hp (3 kW) continuous; approximately 5.5 hp (4.08 kW) peak and weighs 118 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.8/10.
Der Bajaj Chetak Electric wurde im Januar 2020 als moderner Elektroroller neu auf den Markt gebracht. Damit wurde das ikonische Chetak-Typenschild wiederbelebt, das ursprünglich von 1972 bis 2006 als beliebter benzinbetriebener Roller in Indien lief. Die Elektroversion markierte den Wiedereinstieg von Bajaj in das Roller-Segment nach Jahren der Abwesenheit. Sie zeichnete sich durch ein retro-modernes Design mit einer Stahlkarosserie und einer IP67-zertifizierten Batterie aus. Es zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es sich um einen der ersten Premium-Elektroroller Indiens eines großen inländischen Herstellers handelt, was einen deutlichen Wandel hin zur Einführung von Elektrofahrzeugen auf dem indischen Zweiradmarkt signalisiert.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
IP67 Waterproof Battery
The Chetak's lithium-ion battery pack carries an IP67 rating, making it fully dustproof and waterproof — a rare feature that adds long-term reliability in Indian road and monsoon conditions.
Watch the Charger Port
Early Chetak owners reported issues with the onboard charger and charging port connectivity, so always inspect charging behavior during a test ride and verify warranty coverage before buying.
Steep Resale Depreciation
The Chetak depreciates significantly in its first two years due to rapid EV market competition and range limitations (95–108 km), so negotiate hard on used models as buyers hold strong bargaining power.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"Charming urban scooter that demands careful pre-purchase battery inspection."
$1,200-$2,200 usedThe Chetak is genuinely charming in a way that catches you off guard. It's a proper retro-styled scooter with surprising build quality for the money — Bajaj clearly spent time on the fit and finish. The IP67 rating means light rain doesn't cause panic attacks, and the mid-mounted battery keeps weight low and balanced. Around city streets it feels composed, nippy, and honestly quite premium. Here's the used-buyer reality check though: parts availability outside India is essentially non-existent, and even domestically the dealer network is thin. Software updates have fixed early throttle response issues on post-2022 units, so avoid anything pre-2022 unless you enjoy gambling. Battery health is your biggest concern — insist on a full diagnostic before handing over cash. Range claims of 95km are optimistic; expect 70km real-world in Eco mode. For urban commuting it genuinely works, but you're betting on a relatively young ecosystem. Buy from a documented single owner, check service history obsessively, and budget for potential warranty gaps.
