How does the Chetak’s ride quality compare to regular petrol scooters?
As an Electric scooter, Bajaj Chetak Premium Weight Distribution and Power delivery is different from traditional petrol scooters. The key difference between these two design philosophies and engineering methods can have a big impact on the ride quality of a car, including acceleration, stability and comfort. People coming from petrol scooters tend to have to get used to the instant torque and the silent operation of electric motors. It also affects the Chetak’s handling characteristics and center of gravity primarily due to its metal body and battery placement. The discussion continues on how these things translate to real world riding experiences, especially on busy city streets, rough roads and long smooth highways. Suspension comfort, maneuverability in traffic and overall rider fatigue on longer journeys are often compared to popular petrol scooters.
It's so much smoother! And the lack of engine vibration is bliss on long rides, the instant torque also makes it feel more responsive.
I really do miss the 'oomph' of a petrol scooter. Even if it’s smoother, the Chetak feels a little tame in comparison.
It's a great ride quality around town but longer rides I find the seat a little firm compared to my old Honda.
It's a very different experience though. It’s silent, and takes some getting used to, but I can’t go back to noisy petrol scooters.
I don’t like the weight distribution. Its stable but doesn’t feel as nimble in tight traffic as my old Activa.
I really like how it deals with speed bumps and potholes. Its suspension seems better tuned than most petrol scooters I've ridden.
Without gears and the smooth acceleration, it’s so much more relaxing to ride, especially in stop and go traffic.
On longer rides I miss the familiar rumble of a petrol engine, but it’s great for short trips. It's just not the same.
