Design & Looks
Bajaj has kept the classic Chetak silhouette but given it a modern electric twist. The scooter sports a retro‑rounded headlamp, a sleek flat‑deck, and a clean digital instrument cluster. The colour options include matte black, pearl white and a fresh teal that appeals to city commuters.
Key design highlights:
- Retro‑inspired body with modern LED lighting
- Digital LCD console showing speed, battery level and trip data
- Under‑seat storage enough for a helmet
Performance & Mileage
At the heart of the C25 is a 4.1 kW (≈5.5 hp) brushless DC motor paired with a 2.5 kWh lithium‑ion battery pack. Bajaj claims an Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) range of 113 km, which translates to about 45‑50 km per charge in city traffic and up to 70 km on the highway.
The scooter can hit 0‑40 km/h in roughly 6 seconds, which is adequate for daily errands. Regenerative braking helps recover energy during stop‑and‑go rides, extending the real‑world range a little further.
Price & Rivals
At Rs 91,399, the Chetak C25 positions itself as one of the most affordable electric scooters in the Indian market. It directly competes with the TVS iQube, Hero Photon and Okinawa Praise. While the iQube offers a slightly higher range (i.e., 100 km) at a higher price, the Chetak’s retro styling and lower entry cost make it an attractive option for first‑time EV buyers.
Comparison snapshot:
- TVS iQube – Rs 1.05 Lakh, 100 km range
- Hero Photon – Rs 1.00 Lakh, 85 km range
- Okinawa Praise – Rs 95,000, 95 km range
