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.
Bajaj Chetak Electric був перезапущений у січні 2020 року як сучасний електричний скутер, відродивши культовий шильдик Chetak, який спочатку працював з 1972 по 2006 рік як улюблений самокат на бензиновому двигуні в Індії. Електрична версія ознаменувала повернення Bajaj у сегмент скутерів після багатьох років відсутності, що відрізняється ретро-сучасним дизайном зі сталевим корпусом та батареєю з рейтингом IP67. Він примітний тим, що є одним з перших в Індії електричних скутерів преміум-класу від великого вітчизняного виробника, що сигналізує про значний зсув у бік впровадження електромобілів на індійському ринку двоколісних автомобілів.

Що повинні знати покупці
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.

"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.
