The Bajaj Chetak 3001 Electric Scooter 2025 is that stylish, eco-friendly ride that’s blending retro charm with modern EV smarts, making it a top pick for urban commuters who want quiet, efficient mobility without the fuel drama. Priced at Rs. 99,990 (ex-showroom), it’s a steal for daily riders, office-goers, and green enthusiasts chasing a full metal body, solid range, and Bajaj’s reliable service network. It competes with the TVS iQube, Ather 450X, and Ola S1 Pro, offering a 3 kWh battery, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium feel that’s perfect for India’s city streets. This review details its price, specs, features, and performance.
Sleek and Sturdy Design
The Chetak 3001 2025 nails that classic scooter vibe with a full metal body, flowing lines, and a retro-inspired headlamp that’s tough yet elegant. It’s compact at 1914 mm long, 750 mm wide, and 1150 mm high, with a steel monocoque frame weighing 120 kg for nimble handling. With 160 mm ground clearance, it skips speed breakers smoothly, and tubeless tires on 12-inch alloy wheels add grip. Available in three colors like Red, Blue, and Yellow, it features a long seat with under-seat storage for a helmet—the removable battery and external fuel lid make it practical for home charging, giving off premium urban appeal.
Clear Display
The colored TFT instrument cluster is sharp, showing speed, battery level, range, and ride stats clearly, with Bluetooth connectivity via the Chetak app for call/SMS alerts, navigation, and efficiency tracking. Handlebar switches are simple for lights and horn, with a USB Type-C port for charging—it’s rider-focused without clutter, perfect for glancing at info during busy commutes, though no full touchscreen keeps it straightforward.
Efficient Performance
Powered by a 3.1 kW electric motor (4.16 bhp peak), it delivers smooth acceleration with 0-40 km/h in about 4 seconds and a top speed of 63 km/h, tuned for city zips without drama. The 3 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a claimed 127 km IDC range—real-world 100-120 km in urban mixes. Charging takes 4.5 hours via home outlet, and the suspension (telescopic front, twin shocks rear) keeps it stable on bumps—feels refined and vibe-free, ideal for loaded family rides without noise.
Advanced Safety System
Safety’s solid with combined braking system (CBS) on drum brakes (130 mm front/rear) for even stops, plus hill hold assist and reverse mode for ease. No ABS to keep it affordable, but LED taillight and anti-theft alarm add basics. The monocoque frame handles wet roads or swerves well—great for urban confidence, with IP67 water/dust resistance for monsoons.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The 3 kWh battery stretches 100-120 km real-world, enough for 1-2 days of city commuting without daily charges. Home charging’s 4.5 hours via standard outlet, and running costs? A ridiculous Rs. 0.3-0.5/km—silent operation lets you ride without buzz, perfect for quiet neighborhoods or errands.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlamp cuts through fog, with Bluetooth app for nav, music, and service alerts—higher trims add guide-me-home lamps and full LED lighting. The digital lock and large leg space boost comfort—no full audio, but it pairs with earbuds for tunes. Extras like alloy wheels and reverse light keep it practical, loaded just enough for commuter life.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at Rs. 99,990 (ex-showroom), on-road in Delhi hits Rs. 1.05-1.10 lakh with RTO (Rs. 3,000-5,000) and insurance (Rs. 2,000-3,000). Launched June 2025, bookings open with festive deals like Rs. 5,000-10,000 off or low EMI. Maintenance Rs. 1,000-2,000/year, 3-year/50,000 km warranty (extendable). Wait: 15-30 days at Bajaj dealers, deliveries from late June.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Early riders praise the premium metal body, 127 km range, and low costs—the 160 mm clearance owns bad roads, and app connectivity shines for daily use. CBS and reverse get thumbs up. But top speed caps at 63 km/h for highways, basic features like no fast charging, and storage space irk some—plus, charging time for longer trips.
Comparison with Competitors
In the Rs. 1 lakh EV scooter bracket, the Chetak 3001 edges the iQube on build quality but trails the Ather 450X in range. It matches the S1 Pro’s style, with Bajaj’s service net giving it the win for reliability seekers.
Speculative Notes
Launched June 2025, priced Rs. 99,990, with 3.1 kW motor, 127 km range. Confirm with dealers for colors/offers.
Final Thoughts
The Bajaj Chetak 3001 Electric Scooter 2025, with its 1914 mm frame, efficient 3 kWh battery, and premium metal body at Rs. 99,990, is the EV commuter that mixes style and savings for India’s roads. It’s not a speed demon or feature beast, but that range, costs, and Bajaj trust make it a winner. With growing support, it’s ready to charge ahead.
