It's not great in heavy rain. I've had some near death water splashes.

It’s decent, but I wish it had a bit more ground clearance for speed bumps.

It feels really planted on highways, the weight. Confidence-inspiring!

It's a mixed bag. It's great in the city but I wouldn't take it on really bad roads.
Can we rely on the Chetak 2903 TecPac's battery in extreme Indian weather conditions?

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.
Is the Chetak 2903 TecPac's range anxiety making it impractical for Indian cities?
14 January 2025 11:08
Most city commutes are plenty with 123 km. Range anxiety is not a problem for me since I rarely ride more than 50-60 km a day. All you have to do is charge it overnight and you’re good to go!

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.

It really depends on what you need. It’s fine for short commutes and running errands. If you're a delivery rider or need to travel between cities, it's probably not enough.

The range is good, but it’s the lack of charging infrastructure that really is the problem. Until we have more public charging stations, you’ll be nervous about any electric scooter.

I actually think it's pretty practical. Most people don’t ride as much as they think they do. And, if you need to, you can always top up the charge at work or shopping.

The TecPac version has better range management features so you may get more out of those 123 km than you think. All depends on how you ride and plan the trips.

It’s true, range anxiety is real, but it’s also something you get used to. After a few weeks, you’ll know what’s possible and plan accordingly. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker for me.
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
It's plenty for me! I commute 30 km a day, therefore I only need to charge once or twice a week. In fact, it's more convenient than having to stop at a petrol pump.
