Given the feature & brand value, is price of Chetak 2903 TecPac justifiable?

Question

The Bajaj Chetak 2903 TecPac is priced at approx ?1.03 Lakh (ex-showroom) and thus is a premium electric scooter. At this price point, it’s competing with other feature rich electric scooters and even some entry level motorcycles. It has the latest features including digital displays, smartphone connectivity and different riding modes, but some claim that it does not make sense with its performance prowess and price. On the other side, the Chetak brand name is well known in India. With all that modern tech, retro design, and brand legacy, is the combination worth the premium price tag? How does it stack up value wise against other options in the market, both electric and petrol powered?

It’s a good value for city use. What you get is a reliable, low maintenance vehicle that has just enough tech to keep things interesting. I think the price is fair for what it is.

It's a little on the pricey side but not by too much. The fit and finish is supposed to be really good, which is a lot in day to day use.

@kunal-vikr · Answer

It's expensive compared to petrol scooters. Add in long term savings on fuel and maintenance and it suddenly makes a bit more sense economically, too.

@nimish-rai · Answer

The value that TecPac features add is a lot. The extra connectively and riding modes bring it up to premium price while making the price bump over the base model justified.

It's a little pricey, but you're also paying for the style and brand, as much as the features. If you want your ride to look and feel good, it’s worth it.

When you take into account the quality of the build and brand reliability, you get a fair price. A cheaper option would be just money saver upfront while Bajaj's service network and access to spares might make you fork out more on all.

@ashish-kum · Answer

It's overpriced for what you get, I think. For less money you can find electric scooters with similar or better specs. The premium for the Chetak name is not worth it.
