Is the Bajaj Chetak 3201 all hype?

Question

Bajaj Chetak 3201 has made waves in the electric scooter market. It has all the retro inspired design you could hope for in a modern bike. However, much has been written about whether it meets the promise. It receives some praise for its build quality and premium feel, but also criticism of its range and performance compared to rivals. It's also had people raising eyebrows at the price tag, arguing that it's too much for what you're getting. Next, we have the charging infrastructure, is it practical for daily use? Not to mention the ongoing conversations about the long term reliability of electric vehicles in general. Is the Chetak 3201 a game changer, or just another overhyped product?

Not worth it. For a cheaper alternative, you can get better performance.

If you care about brand value, it’s worth it. Bajaj has a solid reputation.

I'll just wait for the next gen. Meh. The first versions always have issues.

@harish-kum · Answer

The hype is justified. That’s bringing style back to electric scooters. Eco friendly doesn't have to be boring.

@punit-kuma · Answer

It depends on your needs. Short city commutes are great. If you need something longer for rides then look elsewhere.

@charan-sin · Answer

Disagree. It’s worth it for the build quality alone. It’s the iPhone of scooters, premium and reliable.

To be honest, I think it is overhyped. It looks cool, but for the price, the range is pretty disappointing.
