This is just the beginning. We’ll soon be paying subscriptions for everything in our vehicles. It's a dystopian future.

I actually don't mind it. It's picking from different trim levels, just stretched out over time instead of all in one shot.

It's a hard no from me. I want to own my vehicle outright, not pay for a feature that the manufacturer rents to me.
Is the Chetak Urbane’s range fear in everyday commuter’s life?
15 January 2025 09:22
Range anxiety? What range anxiety? I commute about 30 km daily and have to charge every 2-3 days. It’s actually less stressful than fretting about fuel prices and looking for petrol pumps.
Is the Chetak Urbane’s range fear in everyday commuter’s life?

I don't know, man. My commute is 25 km each way and I always feel worried whether I will be able to make it back home, especially when I need to run a errand after work. In real world conditions, the range isn’t what it’s advertised.

That really depends on how you ride. If I stick to Eco mode and don’t accelerate aggressively, I can get pretty close to the claimed range. It's just getting used to.

City use is fine with the range, but it would limit you for longer trips. It’s happened a couple of times that I’ve had to cancel weekend plans, because I wasn’t sure I would get there and back without charging.

I believe that the range anxiety is more psychological than practical for most users. After a few days, you get in the habit of plugging it in every night and it becomes no different than charging your phone.

I know this, as I used to ride a petrol scooter and actually find the Chetak less anxiety inducing. No more last minute rushes to the petrol pump because I'm running late!

It has a bit tight range for my liking. If Bajaj had chosen to go for a slightly bigger battery, it could have been at a higher price, but I wish it had. An extra 20-30 km of range would be a big difference in peace of mind.
Is the limited boot space of the Chetak Urbane sad?
15 January 2025 09:22
It’s definitely a pain point when it comes to boot space. There’s not even enough room for my half face helmet, let alone groceries. This has caused me to rethink how I do my errands.
Is the limited boot space of the Chetak Urbane sad?
15 January 2025 09:22
I don't think it's that bad. Yes it’s smaller than my old Activa but I’ve adjusted. Now I use a backpack for most things, which is actually more comfortable for riding.
Is the limited boot space of the Chetak Urbane sad?
15 January 2025 09:22
It's a deal-breaker for me. The Chetak is no good, I need to carry my laptop and lunch to work. I actually got another scooter with more storage.
Is the limited boot space of the Chetak Urbane sad?

The limited boot space has actually been a blessing in disguise. This has made me declutter and only bring what I really need. And it helps keep the weight down, which is good for range.

If you’re used to stuffing your scooter full of things, it’s definitely impractical. How often do you actually need to carry that much stuff? It's fine for most daily use.
Is the limited boot space of the Chetak Urbane sad?
15 January 2025 09:22
In order to solve this, I added a top box. Problem solved, and I actually have more secure storage than most other scooters.

There’s not much boot space, but that’s a fair trade off for the sleek design and electric powertrain. Can't have everything, right?
Is the Chetak Urbane's performance in the rain a deal breaker?
15 January 2025 09:22
I don’t want to give a false impression that I have ridden my Chetak through some serious downpours, but it has held up fine. So far, no performance or electrical gremlins. I think people are needlessly paranoid.
Is the Chetak Urbane's performance in the rain a deal breaker?
15 January 2025 09:22
I’ve had some scary moments in the rain, maybe you’ve been lucky. I once rode through a deep puddle and the scooter shut off completely. Not fun in heavy traffic!
Is the Chetak Urbane's performance in the rain a deal breaker?
15 January 2025 09:22
No scooter is ideal in heavy rain, but then again, no scooter is. Same as any other two wheeler, I just slow down and avoid deep water.
