What stands out immediately is its sleek and retro-modern design, which is both visually appealing and well-built with a solid metal body.

The 4kW electric motor provides decent acceleration, and the brakes are responsive and effective.

Price
The Bajaj Chetak Blue 2901 is priced very competitively in the Indian market, with an ex-showroom price of 95,998. This pricing makes it one of the most affordable full-size metal body electric scooters available, positioning it well against other popular electric scooters like the Ola S1 Air and the Ather 450S. When considering the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, the total comes out to be around 1.05 lakh to 1.10 lakh, depending on the state and local regulations. This pricing is particularly attractive given the scooters robust build quality, feature-rich package, and the comprehensive 3-year50,000 km warranty that comes with it.
Latest Updates
Tuesday, 02 July 2024 05:35 PM Bajaj Auto has confirmed that the Blue Line naming convention will be applied to other Chetak variants in the upcoming months, including renaming the top-spec Chetak Premium to the Chetak Blue Line 3201. This indicates that all these scooters are built on the original electric Chetak platform introduced in 2019. I believe this naming convention will help in branding consistency and customer recognition.
Tuesday, 02 July 2024 10:22 AM The Chetak 2901 comes with additional features such as a colored digital console, hill hold, reverse, sport and economy modes, and Bluetooth app connectivity if upgraded with the TecPac package. This makes the scooter not only affordable but also feature-rich, catering to both daily commuters and tech-savvy users. I think the inclusion of these features will enhance the overall riding experience and appeal to a broader customer base.
Saturday, 08 June 2024 12:43 PM The Chetak 2901 Blue Line has been designed to attract customers who are currently using petrol scooters, offering a full-size metal body electric scooter with a range that matches and exceeds petrol scooters without being too expensive. Bajaj Auto has extended its dealership network, making the scooters available at over 500 showrooms across India. I think this strategic pricing and expanded dealership network will help Bajaj Auto gain a stronger foothold in the electric scooter market.
Friday, 07 June 2024 06:13 PM Bajaj Auto has launched the Chetak 2901 Blue Line, the most affordable variant of the Chetak electric scooter, priced at Rs 95,998. This scooter is available in five colors and boasts a certified range of up to 123 kilometers. It features a solid metal body, alloy wheels, and Bluetooth connectivity. I believe this move will significantly expand the electric scooter market in India, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
Friday, 07 June 2024 01:02 PM Bajaj Auto has started shipments of the Chetak 2901 to dealerships, with retail sales beginning from June 15 onwards. The company aims to make its range of electric scooters more accessible and appealing to both ICE vehicle users and electric vehicle enthusiasts. I believe this timely launch will capitalize on the growing demand for electric vehicles in India.

FAQs

Most Popular FAQs for Bajaj Chetak 2903

  • What is the performance of Chetak 2903 TecPac compared to traditional petrol scooters?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    It’s great performance-wise for commuting. The linear power delivery moves smoothly, a relaxing feature when stuck in traffic. It is not as exciting as a petrol sporty scooter.

  • Can we rely on the Chetak 2903 TecPac's battery in extreme Indian weather conditions?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    Thermal management seems decent for Bajaj. I've tried other EVs that get hot as hell when parked in direct sunlight, but the battery doesn't get nearly as hot.

  • Can we rely on the Chetak 2903 TecPac's battery in extreme Indian weather conditions?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    It’s still a question mark as to long term degradation. After 18 months mine’s still holding up well, but I’m curious to see how it does after 3-4 years.

  • Is TecPac’s Chetak 2903 retro design a hit or miss?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    The retro design is brilliant I think. It's not a generic looking EV, and it has a cool vintage vibe. It'll also appeal to the nostalgic older riders and hipster youngsters.

  • Is TecPac’s Chetak 2903 retro design a hit or miss?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    I’m starting to like the retro styling. I first thought it was too old school, but I actually love how it combines old and new. It’s not over the top, but it’s unique.

  • Is the Chetak 2903 TecPac's range anxiety making it impractical for Indian cities?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    It's definitely close. In cities like Mumbai or Bangalore, traffic is brutal and you’ll be worried about running out of juice all the time. At least 150-200 km range I'd feel more comfortable with.

  • Given the feature & brand value, is price of Chetak 2903 TecPac justifiable?

    14 January 2025 11:08

    When you take into account the quality of the build and brand reliability, you get a fair price. A cheaper option would be just money saver upfront while Bajaj's service network and access to spares might make you fork out more on all.

  • How does the Chetak 2903 compare in extreme weather conditions?

    14 January 2025 11:03

    I’ve ridden my Chetak through a Delhi summer and it fared pretty good. But the range does suffer a bit when it's really hot, though not quite as much as I thought it would. It looks like the cooling system does its job.

  • How user friendly is the app and connected features of the Chetak 2903?

    14 January 2025 11:03

    When it works, the app is pretty slick. It’s great to be able to see my battery status and plan my rides with that in mind. It’s got a nice security touch with the geofencing feature.

  • What is the experience of maintenance and service of Chetak 2903 compared to other scooters?

    14 January 2025 11:03

    Great lack of regular maintenance, but I’m worried about long term costs. You also don't really have to think about battery replacement down the line, which isn't going to be cheap, and you don't really have to think about that with petrol scooters.
