How does the Chetak C25 differ from the other models in the lineup?
Asked by Aryaman Gupta
Priced at ₹91,399 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the C25 is positioned below the 35 and 30 series as the most accessible model from the Chetak lineup. It brings the smallest battery pack in the range, a 2.5 kWh floor-mounted NMC unit, that enables an IDC-certified single-charge range of 113 km and a 55 kmph top speed. The top-spec 35 series model offers 153 km and a 73 kmph top speed.
The C25 remains relatively simple on the tech front, and while it does get Hill Hold Assist and riding modes, it loses out on some of the premium features on the other models, such as a touchscreen display, Bluetooth and app-based connectivity.
It continues to be built with a full-metal body and carries the same design ethos in a sleeker form. It gets a front disc brake and an LCD instrument cluster with music and call controls.
I’m looking for a lightweight e-scooter that can easily cut across city traffic. Is the new Chetak a good pick?
Asked by Neha Kumar
With its 108 kg kerb weight, the Chetak C25 is 22 kg lighter than the other models in the lineup. It brings an accessible 763 mm seat height and 170 mm of ground clearance. Its 1,255 mm wheelbase allows for a turning radius of 1,825 mm, making it fairly easy to manoeuvre.
I want to get my father a simple electric scooty that can help him in grocery runs and short commutes. Will the Chetak C25 fit his needs?
Asked by Aarav S.
The Chetak C25 is the most accessible model from the lineup and remains fairly old-school with its features. The e-scooter brings a big LCD instrument cluster that allows for media play/pause and call accept/reject, a reverse mode, two riding modes, and hill hold assist for climbing an incline. The C25 further features 25 litres of underseat storage, which should be enough to fit a full-face helmet inside. Its 113 km range is ample for short trips around the city and it retains 80 per cent charge from zero in 2 hr 25 mins of charging.

I live in an area with difficult roads and need an e-scooter that can keep up with the demands. Is the Chetak C25 worth considering?
Asked by Ron Bose
The C25 e-scooter features a full-metal body and is rated IP67 for its water-resistant properties. It remains light with a 108 kg kerb weight and offers 170 mm of ground clearance that can clear most obstacles on the road. Hardware duties are carried out by telescopic front suspension and a front disc and rear drum setup. The C25 further features hill hold assist and can climb a 19 per cent incline while seating a pillion.
Is the Chetak C25 good for long hauls or should I keep my options open?
Asked by Tathagata
The Chetak C25 offers the smallest battery pack in Bajaj’s electric scooter lineup, which is a 2.5 kWh NMC unit that enables a single-charge range of 113 km (IDC). While this is ample for making short commutes around the city, the C25 is not made for longer trips. You would be better off choosing from other variants higher up in the lineup, such as the 35 series with its 153 km single-charge range.
