Overview
- Bajaj launches the Chetak C25 (C2501) at Rs 91,399 ex-showroom, targeting an on-road price near Rs 1 lakh as the new entry point into the Chetak lineup.
- The scooter uses a 2.5 kWh battery and a hub motor rated at 2.2 kW peak for a claimed 55 km/h top speed, with charging via a supplied 750W portable unit from 0–80% in 2h25 and 0–100% in 3h45.
- Reviewers report real-world urban range notably below the 113 km claim, commonly around 70–90 km, with one first ride citing roughly 95 km in city use.
- Several functions are locked behind a one-time Rs 3,000 TecPac, enabling Hill Hold, Sport mode, music control and guide-me-home lights; without Sport mode the scooter is limited to about 45 km/h in Eco.
- Build highlights include metal bodywork, about 25 litres of under-seat storage, a low 763 mm seat height and a kerb weight around 107–108 kg, with front disc and rear drum brakes; rear suspension reporting remains inconsistent across outlets (twin shocks versus monoshock).
