How does the Chetak’s metal body fare in the long run, compared to plastic bodied competitors?

Metal all the way! It's been knocked about a bit and still looks great. You can scratch up plastic scooters so easily.

It's overrated. It’s sure premium feeling, but the extra weight kills the range. I would prefer to have a lighter plastic body and go further.

Mixed feelings. I'm worried that the metal will rust in the long run, but the metal looks classy. If you live near the coast, especially.

Love the metal body! It brings back memories of the old Chetaks. At least plastic crack, but yeah, it might dent.

It's a pain to maintain. You can see every little scratch and fixing up the paint is annoying. Plastic is more forgiving.

That’s why I chose the Chetak, as the metal body. While it really is mostly psychological, it just feels more substantial and safe.

Bajaj has done a smart thing. It stands out, with a metal body in a sea of plastic scooters. It's a unique selling point.
Is the Chetak Premium outdated because it doesn’t have a touchscreen?
15 January 2025 09:17
Not at all! In fact, I like physical buttons. Touch screens get all smudgy and are harder to use with gloves, and these aren't.

It’s a little bit behind the times. To be frank, touchscreens are just more intuitive, especially if you were talking about navigation.

I thought I'd miss having a touchscreen but it's fine. It's simple enough that you don't really need one.

It's not as flashy as the competition but that could be a good thing. The less that can go wrong in the long run.

I'm torn. The screen is nice but it’s clunky with buttons scrolling through menus compared to my phone.

A premium scooter should have a touchscreen. It's 2025, not 2015!

I actually respect Bajaj for not going the trend way. And a good non touch interface can be just as functional and more reliable.
How does the claimed range of the Bajaj Chetak Premium compare with the real world range?

I've found that in real world conditions, you get about 70-75 km. Not bad, but certainly not as advertised 95 km.

In Eco mode I’m consistently getting 80-85 km. If you ride conservatively, it's pretty close to the claimed range.

Heavy traffic range tanks. On really bad days I’ve seen it drop to 60 km. It's frustrating.

The range killer is fun, but in sport mode. I use Eco daily and Sport when I need a quick burst.

Battery is decent, but I wish Bajaj had gone for a bit bigger battery. Ten or fifteen extra kilometers would be a big difference.

In winter I've found the range is pretty good, but noticeably drops in peak summer. The battery seems to be affected by the heat.
