Does the Chetak Urbane's added weight over other electric scooters justify its metal body?
The Bajaj Chetak Urbane stands out from the other electric scooters because of its sturdy metal body while most others use plastic or fiberglass components. As a result of this design choice, the vehicle weighs about 137 kg. The metal construction means it’s both durable and provides a premium feel but that’s at the expense of the scooter’s performance and handling. Other riders like the solid build and classic look, claiming that it will last longer and endure minor accidents. Some argue that the extra weight harms range, acceleration and maneuverability, particularly in narrow urban spaces. The discussion also reaches the metal body, whether it protects better in case of accidents or just it’s an aesthetic choice that compromises practicality. We also talk about the impact of weight on battery life and how often you'll need to charge the scooter, as well as how easy it is to push or move the scooter when you need to.
Totally worth it, the metal body! The flimsy plastic scooters, you should know, are out of my reach and that if I were to buy one my Chetak would feel solid and premium. It's heavier, but I feel much safer riding it in crazy traffic.
