Bajaj Chetak 35 Series: A Desi Electric Scoot That's Ready to Roll!
Get ready, folks, because Bajaj has just dropped the hottest electric scooter in town – the Chetak 35 Series! This isn't your grandpa's Chetak; it's a complete makeover with a desi twist.
What's New in This Electric Jhatka?
- New Platform, New Attitude: This Chetak is built from the ground up, with a brand new frame, battery, motor, and controller. It's like a phoenix rising from the ashes, but electric!
- Design That's Desi and Dapper: The classic Chetak look is still there, but with a modern touch. Think sleeker indicators, a headlight that's as bright as your future, and a tail light that's slimmer than your waistline after a month at the gym.
- Features That'll Blow Your Mind: The top-spec model, the Chetak 3501, comes with a touchscreen TFT display that's smarter than your average smartphone. It's got music controls, maps that'll never get you lost (unless you're intentionally trying to ditch someone), and even geo-fencing to keep your scooter safe from the neighborhood kids.
- Range That'll Keep You Going: The new 3.5kW battery packs a punch, offering a range of 153km on a single charge. That's enough to go from your chai stall to the next without worrying about running out of juice.
- Charging That's Super Speedy: The 950W on-board charger is like a turbo boost for your scooter. It can charge from 0-80% in just three hours, so you can spend less time waiting and more time riding.
- Space That's Out of This World: Bajaj has cleverly moved the battery to the floorboard, freeing up a whopping 35 liters of boot space. That's enough room for your helmet, lunchbox, and maybe even your pet hamster (if it's well-behaved).
- Power That'll Leave You Speechless: The 4kW permanent magnet motor delivers a top speed of 73kmph. That's fast enough to outrun your neighbor's noisy generator, but slow enough to avoid getting a speeding ticket.
- Comfort That's King: The longer wheelbase means more legroom, and the seat is designed for maximum comfort. You'll feel like you're riding on a cloud, not a scooter.
The Chetak 3501 and 3502: A Tale of Two Scooters
The Chetak 3501 is the top-spec model, loaded with features and priced at Rs 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom). The mid-spec 3502 comes in at Rs 1.20 lakh and has a few less bells and whistles, but it's still a stylish and capable ride. The base model, the 3503, is yet to be priced, but we're expecting it to be more budget-friendly.https://youtu.be/y20LO4WFRHg?si=jFCkaU0L-elmzqAx
