Bajaj Chetak, one of India’s most iconic two-wheelers, recently grabbed the spotlight after being honoured at the Women’s Premier League (WPL) and honestly, it couldn’t be a better match. The award recognition in the high-energy world of women’s cricket reflects how Bajaj Chetak has evolved from a nostalgic household name into a modern symbol of innovation, reliability, and sustainable mobility.
At the Women’s Premier League, where excellence, consistency, and performance matter the most, Bajaj Chetak stood tall as a brand that resonates with the same values. Just like the league celebrates fearless women athletes redefining the game, Bajaj Chetak represents a new generation of riders who want clean, premium, and future-ready transport.
Why Bajaj Chetak Deserved the WPL Award:
It was no surprise that the Bajaj Chetak scooped up the WPL Award simply because it offers an excellent combination of premium build quality, relaxed performance and practical everyday usability. It’s more sturdy and dependable than the average electric scooter, thanks to its robust metal body, superior ride comfort and trusted Bajaj engineering. Such modern touches, attractive design and stable performance make it one of the most reliable EV scooters in India and that’s exactly what made it stand out to be awarded.
Design and Exterior: Classic Yet Fresh:
One of the biggest highlight of the Bajaj Chetak EV is its design. Its design is sleek and polished with an appeal that feels classic rather than trendy. Whereas numerous electric scooters are heavily dependent on plastic, the Chetak EV is based on a full metal body. This not only gives the appearance of a premium feel but also enables strength and durability.
The exterior is all about elegance. Smooth lines, a round LED headlight that lights up like a welcoming smile, and chrome accents that give it a retro vibe without feeling outdated.
The colors available are just as desirable from the eye-catching Matte Coarse Grey, to the more subdued options like Indigo Metallic, and an array of bright reds, yellows and blues; solid white or black. Apart from the looks, the design is also practical, equipped with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres which provides a nice grip on badly done city roads. The Chetak has a relaxed riding position, with wide floorboard and comfortable 760 mm seat height that would be inviting for most Indians.
Features That Make Every Ride Smarter and Safer:
The Chetak EV is loaded with goodies that make it feel like a smart companion. With the base model, you get a digital display; but step up to some higher models like a 3501, and you’ll have a 5-inch TFT touchscreen to play with, which is bright and easy to read. That includes your speed and how much battery is left, as well as navigation and media controls. Pair it with your phone over Bluetooth and you can receive call alerts, listen to your favorite tracks or even navigate from A to B on maps.
Battery Pack:
The battery pack is at the heart of it and Bajaj gives two options depending on your requirements. A base C2501 model gets a 2.5 kWh NMC battery, but higher trims such as the 3501 grow it to 3.0- or 3.5-kWh versions. It is fixed but reliable, with a portable charger that can be plugged into any outlet.A 0-100% charge takes about 3 to 5 hours (it depends on the model), meaning you can plug it in overnight so that you wake up prepared.
Bajaj backs it with a solid warranty, and the IP67 rating means it’s dust and water-proof. No more fretting about monsoons! The motor is a hub-mounted BLDC type, delivering up to 4.2 kW power and 20 Nm torque – enough for city speeds without feeling sluggish.
Mileage That Saves Your Wallet:
On the base model, you’ll get approximately 113 km on a full charge, whereas top trims extend to about 153 km. In real use people are getting 100-130 km depending on their style and traffic. That is more than a sufficient distance for a 50 km daily commute, e.g., between home and work.
Other Perks:
More than the basics, the Chetak EV has options for every budget: ₹87,100 to start with C25001 and ₹1.34 lakh with 3501. EMI options make it affordable needs no introduction Like ₹2,713 per month. Performance is strong – 0-40 kmph in just 4.5 seconds and the suspension takes on to the bumps well.
