Bajaj Auto, one of India’s most trusted two-wheeler manufacturers, has once again taken the spotlight with the launch of its upgraded Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025. Reviving the legacy of the classic Chetak, the new model brings a perfect mix of heritage design and modern technology, tailored for urban commuters who seek performance, comfort, and sustainability.

Elegant and Timeless Design
The Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 carries forward the iconic silhouette of the original Chetak but with a modern twist. Its retro-inspired metal body gives it a premium feel compared to most plastic-bodied electric scooters in the market.
The new Chetak 2025 gets sleeker LED headlights, integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), and a redesigned tail lamp setup. The quality of materials used feels top-notch — from the paint finish to the chrome touches, everything reflects Bajaj’s attention to detail.
The scooter is available in a range of elegant color options including:
- Indigo Metallic
- Cyber White
- Brooklyn Black
- Hazelnut Brown
- Matador Red
These color choices cater to both young riders and mature commuters looking for a stylish yet sophisticated electric scooter.
Performance and Motor Specifications
At the heart of the Chetak Electric 2025 is a high-torque electric motor designed for both city traffic and long commutes. The scooter now comes with an improved 4.3 kW (peak) motor, offering instant acceleration and smooth power delivery.
The motor enables the Chetak to achieve a top speed of 73 km/h, which is ideal for daily urban rides. The 0-40 km/h acceleration time is now under 4 seconds, providing zippy performance without compromising battery efficiency.
Key Performance Highlights:
- Motor Type: Brushless DC (BLDC)
- Peak Power: 4.3 kW
- Continuous Power: 3.2 kW
- Top Speed: 73 km/h
- Acceleration (0-40 km/h): 3.9 seconds
- Drive Type: Hub-mounted motor
The improved torque response makes overtaking in traffic effortless, and regenerative braking helps recharge the battery every time you decelerate.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 comes equipped with a 3.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that delivers an impressive range of up to 127 kilometers on a single charge under standard riding conditions.
The scooter supports two riding modes:
- Eco Mode: Maximizes range, ideal for daily commutes
- Sport Mode: Boosts performance with more power output
Charging is also more convenient this year. Bajaj offers fast-charging support, allowing the battery to reach 80% charge in just 2.5 hours and a full charge in around 4.5 hours using a standard home socket.
The battery is IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in India’s unpredictable weather.
Smart Connectivity Features
Technology has always been a core part of Bajaj’s innovation, and the Chetak Electric 2025 takes this to the next level. The scooter is now equipped with a full-color TFT digital display that offers a wealth of information including:
- Real-time speed and battery percentage

- Navigation support
Riders can pair their smartphones through the Bajaj Chetak App, which allows access to features like:

The over-the-air (OTA) updates feature ensures that your scooter’s software remains up-to-date with the latest performance enhancements and features, just like a smartphone.
Ride Comfort and Handling
The Chetak Electric 2025 is built to deliver superior comfort on both city roads and longer rides. Its all-steel frame provides excellent stability and a planted feel, even at higher speeds.
The suspension setup includes:
- Front: Leading-link suspension
- Rear: Single-sided shock absorber
This setup ensures a smooth and comfortable ride over rough city roads and speed breakers. The low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution make it easy to handle, even for new riders.
The seat is ergonomically designed for both rider and pillion comfort, and the spacious floorboard provides ample legroom and storage space.
Braking and Safety
Safety has been one of the top priorities for Bajaj, and the new Chetak Electric reflects that commitment. The scooter comes equipped with:
- Front disc brake and rear drum brake for strong and progressive braking
- Combined Braking System (CBS) for balanced stopping power
- Tubeless tyres that offer superior grip
- Automatic headlamp on (AHO) feature for better visibility
- Waterproof connectors and wiring for added durability
These features ensure that the Chetak Electric 2025 is not only stylish but also safe and dependable.
Build Quality and Durability
Unlike most scooters that use plastic body panels, the Bajaj Chetak Electric 2025 features a full metal body, making it one of the most durable electric scooters on Indian roads. This design not only enhances safety but also reduces vibrations, giving it a solid and premium feel.
Bajaj also offers a 3-year/50,000 km warranty on both the motor and battery, which can be extended for an additional cost. This warranty assurance shows the brand’s confidence in its product’s quality and reliability.
