Bajaj has done something rare in India’s noisy electric scooter market, it has launched a product that feels calm, practical, and refreshingly honest.
The Bajaj Chetak C25, priced at Rs 91,399 (ex-showroom), is now the most affordable model in the Chetak lineup, and it might also be the most sensible one yet.
At a time when EV launches are packed with gimmicks, exaggerated claims, and confusing variants, Bajaj has chosen restraint. And that’s exactly why the Chetak C25 deserves attention.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Price and Positioning

Bajaj Chetak C25 is set to be the entry-level Chetak, which falls below the 30-series scooters. With sub-Rs 1 lakh price tag, it is directly aimed at the mass-market buyers who want to switch to electric without experimenting with unknown brands.

This pricing puts it squarely against other rivals such as Ola S1 X, TVS iQube base variant, Vida VX2, Honda QC1 and the upcoming TVS Orbiter. But Bajaj’s advantage is clear, brand trust and build quality.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Design 

One look at the Bajaj Chetak C25, and you know it is a Chetak. The neo-retro style is not changed, with the signature horseshoe-shaped LED headlamp, clean body panels, and beautiful proportions.

The only thing that surprised is Bajaj’s decision to retain a full metal body even on its cheapest Chetak. In a segment where plastic is the default cost-cutting tool, this feels like a statement.

Key design highlights are listed below:

  • New LED tail lamp design
  • Subtle new graphics
  • 650 mm full-length seat
  • 25 litres of under-seat storage

The scooter is available in six colours: Racing Red, Misty Yellow, Ocean Teal, Active Black, Opalescent Silver and Classic White.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Range and Battery

The Bajaj Chetak C25 uses a 2.5 kWh NMC battery mounted on the floorboard, helping with better weight balance. Bajaj claims a range of 113 km on a single charge, which realistically should translate to around 85-95 km in daily city use, perfectly acceptable.

Charging details are practical, not flashy:

  • 0-80% in 2 hours 25 minutes
  • 0-100% in under 4 hours
  • 750W off-board charger included

For urban commuters, this setup makes daily charging easy without anxiety.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Performance and Ride Setup

Powering the Bajaj Chetak C25 is a hub-mounted motor producing 2.2 kW peak power. Top speed is capped at 55 kmph, which might disappoint thrill-seekers but feels just right for city traffic.

It also gets the following:

  • Eco and Sports riding modes
  • Reverse mode
  • Hill Hold Assist (19% gradient capability)

With a kerb weight of just 107 kg, telescopic front forks, dual rear shocks, and 12-inch wheels, the scooter should feel easy and confidence-inspiring for new EV riders.

Bajaj Chetak C25 Features 

The feature list on the Bajaj Chetak C25 won’t wow spec-sheet warriors, but it covers essentials well. You get a colour LCD display with smartphone connectivity for call alerts, navigation, and music controls (via optional TecPac).

It’s not flashy, but it’s functional and that’s exactly the point.

Bajaj Chetak C25: The EV for Real India

The Bajaj Chetak C25 doesn’t try to be the fastest, smartest, or most futuristic scooter out there. Instead, it focuses on what most Indian buyers actually want: reliability, solid build, usable range, and peace of mind.

This is Bajaj quietly playing the long game. By trimming unnecessary features and protecting quality where it matters, the Chetak C25 feels like an electric scooter you can actually live with for years.

If you’re looking for drama, look elsewhere. If you want a dependable electric scooter that feels built to last, the Bajaj Chetak C25 might just be the smartest EV launch of the year.
