In heavy traffic and on steep inclines, how does the Chetak 3201 perform?
Owners and potential buyers have been debating how the Bajaj Chetak 3201 performs in challenging urban conditions. Electric scooters are generally famous for their instant torque and smooth acceleration, but the Chetak’s real world performance in heavy traffic and on steep inclines has been met with mixed reviews. Its sufficez handling and proper power for city use has been lauded by some users, and others have grumbled about its troubles on steep roads or juggling a pillion. This discussion also discusses the different riding modes (Eco and Sport) of the scooter and how or if fish works in different situations. The motor has a concern about hot summer months in stop and go traffic. Also, the effect of the regenerative braking system on range and riding experience on hilly areas is frequently mentioned. Riders debate whether the electric powertrain is a help or hindrance in challenging urban environments, but some compare its performance to petrol scooters in similar situations.
I have the Chetak in a hilly area and it works its way up inclines quite well. You won't expect it to zoom with a pillion.
It’s what you dream about in heavy traffic. It is easy to maneuver, the low speed balance and instant torque makes it easy. It’s way better than my old petrol scooter.
On steep roads it struggles, especially in Eco mode. The range is eaten into because I have to switch to Sport. Bit of a trade-off.
It's okay for performance, but it gets hot fast in stop and go traffic. In these conditions I worry about long term reliability.
Downhills have great regenerative braking. If you plan your route right, you can actually get a bit of range.
Solo riding is perfectly fine, but add a pillion and the performance drops noticeably. If you often ride with someone, this is something to consider.
It handles better than petrol scooters in traffic, I find. With a low center of gravity and smooth power delivery, it’s easy to filter through jams.
