Bajaj Chetak 3001 Key Features and What's New
The new Chetak focuses on practicality, improved range, and smart connectivity for urban commuters. It replaces the earlier entry-level Chetak 2903 and is built on the newer Chetak 35 Series platform.
It has a much larger 35-litre underseat storage capacity from the 21-litre space in the 2903 due to the new floorboard-mounted battery. The scooter boasts a claimed IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) riding range of 127 km on a single charge.
The new Chetak has a solid steel body, which is unique in this segment. Its battery and motor are IP67-rated for water and dust resistance.
It features a color LCD digital instrument console. Buyers can also opt for an accessory, "TecPac" for enhanced connectivity and smart features like:
- Call accept/reject and music controls
- Hill Hold Assist
- Reverse Light
- Auto-flashing stop lamp
- 'Guide Me Home' lights
Bajaj Chetak 3001 Battery and Powertrain
The new Chetak 3001 packs a Lithium-ion 3.0 kWh floorboard-mounted battery pack. This design also helps in lowering the scooter's center of gravity, which results in improved balance.
It comes with a 750W charger as standard, which can charge the battery from 0 to 80 percent in approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes. The scooter is likely to run on a BLDC (Brushless DC) motor.
