The Bajaj Chetak 3501's app connectivity: is it a useful feature, or just another gadget to worry about?
14 January 2025 10:58
It’s great when it works, but it can be buggy. The most frustrating thing is when you are trying to check your range and the app won’t load.
In what way does the Bajaj Chetak 3501 perform in extreme weather conditions relative to other EVs?
14 January 2025 10:58
It seems like the Chetak doesn’t handle cold as well as heat. You will definitely notice a performance dip when temperatures drop below 10°C.
Should you pay the premium for the Bajaj Chetak 3501 TecPac over the standard model?
14 January 2025 10:58
It all really depends on your area. If you have Bajaj service in your area that is reliable, you might skip the TecPac. Otherwise, that extended warranty could save your life.
How does the Bajaj Chetak 3501 build quality compare to its petrol version?
14 January 2025 10:58
It's a mixed bag. There are parts that feel premium, parts that feel like cost cutting. All in all, I’d put it on par with mid range petrol scooters.
Does the Bajaj Chetak 3501's 'retro modern' design hit the spot or does it miss the point?
14 January 2025 10:58
It's genius marketing. It attracts the older folks who remember the original Chetak and the younger ones who love retro vibe.
Can the Chetak 3501’s 153 km range be enough for urban Indian riders or is it still short of the mark?
14 January 2025 10:51
To me it feels like it hits the sweet spot. A larger battery would translate into more range and weight, a higher cost, and more weight. 153 km is practical for most users without overengineering the scooter.
Will the Chetak 3501’s premium features matter to buyers when the electric scooter costs more than budget electric scooters?
14 January 2025 10:51
It’s worth the price, if you think about it as a savings on fuel and maintenance in the long run. The premium features also make the transition to electric more attractive for those used to high end petrol scooters.
Are the connected features on the Chetak 3501 really any good or just fancy distractions?
14 January 2025 10:51
There are some features that are useful, and some that are not so useful. The music controls are great, but I don’t use it for the geofencing because it’s great for security. Whether it’s worth it is a mixed bag, it depends on what you need personally.
Is the new floorboard mounted battery on the Bajaj Chetak 3501 a game changer or just a gimmick?
14 January 2025 10:51
I have to say I'm not really sure about this one. The handling is a bit different, but the increased storage is great. It’s a little bit of a learning curve, especially in tight turns. I don’t know if it’s better or worse, it’s just different.
Is the Chetak 3501’s retro modern design on point or off for today’s young riders?
14 January 2025 10:51
I guess it’s clever marketing. Older folks who remember the original Chetak like the design, while younger riders like it for its vintage aesthetics. The scooters are like the Mini Cooper – classic but cool.
