Bajaj, a renowned name in India’s automobile industry, has been synonymous with quality and innovation. With its singular electric scooter offering in the Indian market, it initially catered to the premium segment, making it slightly out of reach for the average consumer. However, addressing the need for a cost-effective electric option, Bajaj is now gearing up to introduce an affordable variant of its electric Chetak scooter.
This budget-friendly scooter has already been spotted undergoing tests, hinting at an imminent launch. But what does this new Chetak variant offer in terms of features and specifications?
Battery and Motor Details:
The new Chetak promises to be a powerhouse. Its electric heart is powered by an impressive lithium-ion battery pack. Not only is this battery designed to offer longevity, but it also comes with a 3-year warranty covering up to 50,000 kilometers. On a full charge, this battery can deliver a range of up to 108 kilometers. And the best part? A full charge only requires between 3 to 4 hours!
The scooter’s performance is further boosted by a 4200-watt BLDC motor, capable of delivering a continuous power of 4000 watts.
Riding Experience:
Understanding the varied needs of riders, Bajaj offers two distinct riding modes for this scooter. The ECO mode ensures a range of 90 kilometers, while the SPORT mode offers a slightly reduced range of 80 kilometers but a zestier ride. In terms of top speed, riders can expect to reach speeds up to 63 kilometers per hour.
