Is the Chetak Premium outdated because it doesn’t have a touchscreen?
The Bajaj Chetak Premium has a 5-inch color TFT screen as opposed to a touchscreen display that is becoming a norm in new electric scooters. Bajaj says this was done to keep costs down and keep the unit alive. But that has caused a debate among potential buyers and tech enthusiasts. They argue that a non touchscreen interface feels dated and less intuitive, compared to competitors who offer touchscreen displays with more interactive features. Some enjoy the simplicity and durability of a traditional display, worried about the reliability of a touchscreen in different weather conditions and its long term usability. It also touches on overall user experience, ease of navigating menus, and if a commuter scooter really needs a touchscreen at all.

I actually respect Bajaj for not going the trend way. And a good non touch interface can be just as functional and more reliable.

I'm torn. The screen is nice but it’s clunky with buttons scrolling through menus compared to my phone.

It's not as flashy as the competition but that could be a good thing. The less that can go wrong in the long run.

I thought I'd miss having a touchscreen but it's fine. It's simple enough that you don't really need one.

It’s a little bit behind the times. To be frank, touchscreens are just more intuitive, especially if you were talking about navigation.

Not at all! In fact, I like physical buttons. Touch screens get all smudgy and are harder to use with gloves, and these aren't.
