Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooter Sales Crosses 1000 Units Since Launch: Here’s A Refresher On Its Specs, Features, Availability, Rivals & Other Details

Now, almost a year later the company has announced that the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter sales have crossed the 1000 unit mark. The scooter is currently available only in Pune and Bangalore, with its pan-India launch being disrupted amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown.

The sales of the electric scooter took a major hit, similar to all other vehicle sales during the months of April to June. However, post the lockdown, sales have managed to pick up steadily, with the Chetak e-scooter registering a consistent volume month-on-month.

To reiterate, the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter is offered in two variants: Urbane & Premium. Both variants of the electric scooter come powered by a 3kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a 4kW electric motor. This electric powertrain will offer the scooter a maximum range of 90km and a top speed of 80km/h. The Bajaj Chetak electric scooter takes around 4 hours with a full charge.

The Bajaj Chetak electric scooter also comes with a host of features and technology as well. This includes LED headlamps with LED DRLs, LED tail lights, a fully-digital instrument cluster, disc brakes with ABS, regenerative braking with reverse assist and a bunch of others as well.

The Bajaj Chetak Urbane variant is offered with a choice of two colours: Citrus Rush and Cyber White. The top-spec ‘Premium' trim, on the other hand, is offered in five different paint schemes. These include Citrus Rush, Hazelnut, Brooklyn Black, Velluto Rosso and Indigo Metallic.

The vibrant colour scheme is offered with a rather retro-classic design, featuring minimalistic design and graphics. The side and rear profile comes with simple lines and creases, reminiscent of the iconic Chetak scooter, discontinued 14-year back.
