I’ve had mine for a year now and the battery seems to handle the heat well. Peak summer drops a slight range but nothing dramatic.

The monsoon season is tricky. The battery is supposedly waterproof but I’m always a little nervous riding through flooded streets. No issues so far though.

In my experience, cold weather affects the range more than heat. On really chilly mornings I lose about 15 20% range.

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.

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.

Battery warranty is for 3 years, which is pretty standard, but Bajaj has a service network, which gives me more confidence than some newer EV startups.

I've also seen the charging time increase a bit in extreme temperatures (hot and cold). If you’re in a hurry, this is something to keep in mind.

The battery is IP67 rated, so I have no fear of wet weather during the rainy season. I got through some pretty heavy downpours with no problems.

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.

At first, monsoon season was a bit nerve wracking, but the Chetak did a better job with water logged streets than I thought it would. You just had to be careful with deep puddles. No electrical issues so far.

It’s a bit rough on winter mornings. I've seen a bit less range and the battery takes longer to warm up. Not major, but worth knowing.

But the weather's pretty mild. I'm in Bangalore. I haven't seen any performance changes across seasons. Maybe I'm just lucky?

The range is definitely affected by the summer heat but I've found that parking in the shade and riding early morning or evening helps a lot. It’s all about changing your habits.

Fantastic in the heat! My phone degrades more than my battery in summer.

Not too comfortable in heavy rain. I'm worried water damage in the long term, but the battery compartment appears to be well sealed.

Winter mornings are tough. It's noticeably range drops when it's cold. If only battery heating was included like some car EVs have.

It's okay, but not great. In extreme weather, petrol scooters still have an edge. There is still some work to be done for EVs.

No issues so far. It has been through a scorching summer and held up well. I am curious to see what it does in the upcoming monsoon.

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.

It's a mixed bag. Okay for a few days, but not for extensive travel in extreme conditions. Keep a backup plan handy.
