Bajaj Chetak C2501 - Top Things You Need To Know
Bajaj Auto has expanded its electric scooter portfolio with the introduction of the Bajaj Chetak C2501, positioning it as the most accessible entry point into the Chetak range. The C2501 is aimed squarely at urban commuters looking for a no-nonsense electric scooter that retains the Chetak's metal-bodied construction and everyday usability, while trimming features to keep costs in check.
Sitting below the existing Chetak variants, the C2501 focuses on practical city mobility rather than outright performance or premium features. It targets buyers upgrading from petrol scooters as well as first-time EV owners. Let's take a look at the top things about the all-new Bajaj Chetak C2501.
1. Entry-Level Pricing And Positioning
The Bajaj Chetak C2501 is priced at ₹91,399 (ex-showroom), making it the most affordable model in the Chetak lineup. It undercuts other Chetak variants and serves as a stepping stone into Bajaj's electric ecosystem, competing directly with entry-level electric scooters in the segment.
2. Battery, Range And Charging
The Bajaj Chetak C2501 is powered by a 2.5kWh lithium-ion battery housed in the floorboard. Bajaj claims a range of up to 113km on a full charge for the Chetak C2501, making it suitable for daily city commutes. Charging from 0 to 80 per cent takes around 2 hours and 25 minutes using the supplied 750W off-board charger, while a full charge takes approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes.
3. Motor Output, Riding Modes And Top Speed
Power for the Bajaj Chetak C2501 is provided by a hub-mounted electric motor that produces a peak output of 2.2kW. The Chetak C2501 is offered with two riding modes - Eco and Sport, with the latter allowing for a claimed top speed of 55kmph, reinforcing its positioning as a city-focused commuter rather than a performance-oriented electric scooter.
4. Features And Storage
In terms of equipment, the Bajaj Chetak C2501 comes standard with a digital instrument cluster, USB charging port, and reverse mode. Underseat storage capacity stands at 25 litres, which is adequate for everyday use. Additional features such as hill-hold assist, sports mode, music control, and Guide Me Home lights are available through Bajaj's optional TecPac, which costs an additional ₹3,000 over the ex-showroom price.
5. Hardware, Ride And Ease Of Use
The Bajaj Chetak C2501 uses a telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers, differing from the suspension setup used on higher Chetak variants. Braking duties are handled by a front disc and rear drum combination. With a seat height of 763mm and a kerb weight of 108kg, the Chetak C2501 is designed to be easy to manage for a wide range of riders in daily traffic conditions.
