Bajaj Auto will soon launch an updated version of the Chetak electric scooter in the Indian market. This Pune-based home-grown auto manufacturer ventured into the electric mobility segment in early 2020 with the Chetak e-scooter and since then it hasn’t received any update. Now, for the year 2023, the Bajaj Chetak is likely to get more range and new features.
2023 Bajaj Chetak: What to expect?
The new Bajaj Chetak will offer a slightly higher range than its predecessor as revealed by a homologation document. While the current model is claimed to deliver a mileage of 90 km per charge, the upcoming Chetak will offer a 108 km range on a single charge in ideal conditions. It’s worth noting that despite a bump in range, the Chetak will lag behind in terms of competition.
