Bajaj Chetak 3001 Launched – Retro Design & 127 km Range with Budget-Friendly Price
Bajaj Auto has brought back the charm of the legendary Chetak with a modern electric twist. The Bajaj Chetak 3001 (2025) was launched in June 2025 at an attractive ₹99,990 ex-showroom, making it one of the most affordable premium electric scooters in India. It combines retro design, strong performance, and practical features, perfect for today’s urban commuters.
Range & Charging
One of the biggest highlights is its 127 km ARAI-certified range on a single charge, thanks to a 3.0 kWh lithium-ion battery placed low in the floorboard for stability. Charging is convenient too – the scooter goes from 0–80% in just 3 hours 50 minutes using the 750W charger, making it ideal for daily city rides.
Price & Finance Options
At ₹99,990, the Chetak 3001 is currently the most affordable model in Bajaj’s EV lineup. Bajaj also offers easy finance plans, with EMIs starting from around ₹3,200/month depending on city and dealer schemes. This makes ownership highly budget-friendly for commuters looking to switch to electric mobility.
Design & Features
The Chetak 3001 stays true to its neo-retro design with a full-metal body, LED lighting, and alloy wheels. The scooter feels solid and premium, unlike most plastic-bodied rivals. Inside, a TFT digital display offers Bluetooth connectivity, music control, and ride stats. There’s also a 35-litre under-seat storage, big enough to carry a helmet or daily essentials.
For riders who want extra features, Bajaj also offers the TecPac package. This adds hill-hold assist, reverse mode, guide-me-home lights, and music integration, enhancing both convenience and safety.
Performance & Ride
Powered by a 3.1 kW hub motor producing about 4 bhp, the scooter can reach 62–63 km/h – perfect for traffic-heavy Indian cities. It offers two ride modes: Eco and Sport, letting you switch between maximum efficiency and responsive performance. The IP67-rated battery pack ensures durability against rain and dust, making it practical for Indian conditions.
Safety & Handling
Bajaj has focused on everyday safety with:
- Combined Braking System (CBS) with drum brakes
- Hill-hold assist and reverse mode (with TecPac)
- Sequential LED indicators and guide-me-home lighting
- Strong monocoque frame for stability on urban roads
Availability & Bookings
The Bajaj Chetak 3001 is available at Bajaj dealerships across India as well as through Amazon online bookings. Deliveries began in late June 2025, and the current waiting period is 4–8 weeks depending on demand. Test rides are also available, making it easier for buyers to experience the scooter before purchase.
