When launched, it could be one of the most premium-looking and feature-rich scooters in that price bracket. It gets LED lights and dynamic indicators, an electronic key fob, riding modes, a USB port, a start/stop button, and a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. 

The scooter is powered by a 4kW motor and an IP76-rated lithium-ion battery, which can be charged in around 4.5-5 hours. Bajaj isn’t offering a fast charger for the e-Chetak as it believes it will deteriorate the batteries a lot faster. The Pune-based bike maker claims the Chetak will offer a range of 95km in Eco mode and 85km in Sport mode. 

The all-electric Chetak will go up against the Ather 450, which is priced at Rs 1.13 lakh (on-road Bengaluru). However, Ather has added a new variant of the 450 called the, err.. 450X. Apart from the name, here’s what else we know about Ather’s new scooter.
