Bajaj Auto has unveiled its newest electric scooter – the Bajaj Chetak 3001 – blending classic charm with cutting-edge electric vehicle technology. Reviving the legacy of the iconic Chetak, this new model brings a modern twist, offering a premium look, smart features, and an impressive range, all tailored for urban commuters.
Retro Looks with a Modern Touch
The design of the Chetak 3001 pays tribute to the original petrol-powered Chetak, retaining its timeless appeal. However, it now features a more refined and contemporary appearance. Its all-metal body, circular LED headlamp with daytime running lights (DRLs), sleek side panels, and retro-styled mirrors add to its sophisticated presence on the road. Subtle touches like brushed aluminum accents and color-coordinated seat stitching reflect Bajaj’s attention to detail and high build quality.
Long-Range Battery with Smooth Performance
One of the standout features of the Chetak 3001 is its enhanced lithium-ion battery, offering a real-world range of over 150 km on a full charge. Designed for daily commutes and longer city rides, this makes it one of the most efficient scooters in its segment.
Powered by a refined electric motor, the scooter delivers quick and quiet acceleration, reaching a top speed of 73 km/h. It also includes advanced battery protection and thermal management systems, ensuring optimal performance even in Indian climate conditions. Charging is hassle-free—taking around 4.5 hours through a standard home socket. Bajaj is also expanding public charging points in major cities.
Feature-Rich Smart Technology
The Chetak 3001 is loaded with intelligent features. It comes with a smart digital instrument cluster that provides real-time data such as speed, battery level, range, navigation alerts, and ride stats. The console is AI-enabled and syncs with your phone via the My Chetak app through Bluetooth.
Using the app, riders can access remote diagnostics, ride history, scooter location, and battery analytics. It also supports OTA (Over-The-Air) software updates, so the system remains up-to-date with the latest features.
Other modern additions include:
-
Keyless ignition
-
Anti-theft alarm
-
Park assist mode
-
Regenerative braking for energy efficiency
Comfortable Ride and Easy Handling
Bajaj has ensured the Chetak 3001 is not just smart but also comfortable. It features telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock suspension, designed to handle Indian roads smoothly. Its 12-inch alloy wheels offer grip and stability, and the wide seat makes it comfortable for both rider and pillion.
The upright seating position, lightweight design, and improved ground clearance make it ideal for navigating crowded streets and bumpy roads with ease.
Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is another area where the Chetak 3001 shines. It’s equipped with disc brakes at the front, drum brakes at the rear, and CBS (Combined Braking System) for controlled braking. It also includes:
-
LED headlamp for better night visibility
-
Side-stand sensor
-
Automatic Headlight On (AHO)
-
Geo-fencing to prevent theft and unauthorized access
Variants and Pricing
The Bajaj Chetak 3001 is available in two variants – a base model and a top-end variant. The starting price is ₹1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). The higher variant comes with additional features and color options, offering great value for tech-savvy customers seeking a premium electric scooter.
Compared to other e-scooters in the Indian market, the Chetak 3001 delivers a strong mix of performance, smart features, and affordability.
Booking and Availability
