Summary
The current Chetak lineup is one of the strongest electric scooter portfolios in India. The entry-level C2501 brings the Chetak name to a more accessible price point with a lightweight chassis and practical features. The mid and top 30/35 series models offer bigger batteries (up to 3.5 kWh), claimed ranges of 127–153 km, better top speeds (up to 80 kmph on updated models), larger 35-litre storage and premium features like TFT displays, hill-hold assist and connectivity. Real-world range typically settles between 80–125 km depending on the variant and riding style. With its all-metal construction, comfortable ergonomics and trusted brand support, the Chetak remains a smart, long-term electric scooter choice for Indian families and daily riders.
