Design & Looks
The C25 keeps the classic Chetak silhouette but adds a modern twist. It rides on 12‑inch alloy wheels and features a compact LED headlamp that looks sharp both day and night. Riders can choose from three vibrant colour combos – Midnight Black, Pearl White, and Ocean Blue. The matte‑finished tail lamp and minimal body panel gaps give it a premium feel without the premium price.
Inside, the digital instrument cluster shows battery level, range estimate and trip mode. A single‑handed thumb throttle and wide footboard make city traffic less stressful.
Performance & Mileage
Under the deck sits a hub‑mounted permanent magnet motor delivering 4.1 kW (5.5 hp) and 23 Nm of torque. The motor pairs with a 2.5 kWh lithium‑ion pack that can be recharged from a standard 5 A socket. Bajaj claims a real‑world range of up to 113 km on a full charge, which is plenty for daily commutes of 60–80 km.
Charging time is about 5 hours from empty to full, and a quick‑top‑up of 30 minutes can give roughly 40 km of riding. Regenerative braking is present, helping to squeeze a few extra kilometres on stop‑and‑go traffic.
Price & Rivals
At Rs. 91,399 (ex‑showroom), the C25 undercuts many Indian electric scooters. Competitors like the TVS iQube and Ather 450X sit higher in price, while the Hero Photon offers a lower range. The C25 positions itself as the most affordable entry‑level EV with a respectable range.
Key rivals and their approximate prices:
- TVS iQube – Rs. 1.03 Lakh
- Ather 450X – Rs. 1.40 Lakh
- Hero Photon – Rs. 85,000 (but only 85 km range)
Overall, the C25 gives first‑time EV buyers a solid package without breaking the bank.
