Bajaj Auto has launched the new Bajaj Chetak C25 electric scooter in the Indian market, priced at Rs 91,399 (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book the e-scooter online or visit their nearest dealership. Deliveries are expected to begin soon. The new Chetak is now the most accessible model in the Chetak range, offering a great low price with great range and top speed. The new Bajaj Chetak C25 competes with Ola S1 X, Hero Vida VX2 and TVS Orbiter. First talking about the battery, the Chetak C25 is powered by a floorboard-mounted 2.5kWh battery paired with a hub-mounted motor rated for 1.8kW (continuous) and 2.2kW (peak). Its claimed range is 113 km and its top speed is 55 kmph. Using a 750W charger, the battery can be fully charged in 3.45 hours.
Design-wise, the new Bajaj Chetak C25 has minor cosmetic changes. The front apron has been redesigned which gives a clean look to the scooter. The turn indicators have been shifted from the apron to the handlebar and the horseshoe-shaped headlamp remains, around which an LED daytime running light is neatly integrated.At the rear, the scooter now gets a redesigned taillamp with a horizontal layout, moving away from the earlier split-style arrangement. The seat has also been reworked and is now flatter, measuring 650 mm in length and 763 mm in seat height. The C2501 is offered in six color options – green, white, black, grey, red and yellow. Talking about the features, it gets an LCD instrument display, key-based ignition, a twin-sided swingarm, an open glovebox with LED lighting all around, 25 liters of under-seat storage, reverse assist, Bluetooth connectivity with music playback and a USB charging port.Speaking at the launch, Eric Voss, President – Urbanite Business, Bajaj Auto Limited, said, “The Chetak C25 reflects a clear shift in the way urban mobility is used today – shorter journeys, tighter roads and the growing need for independent movement. While its form factor is compact and contemporary, the basics are clearly the same as the Chetak: solidity, robustness and reliability. The C25 allows us to expand the Chetak portfolio to a younger, more agile use case, as well as providing It is the trust and confidence that this brand has endured for generations.“
