Bajaj Auto has launched the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 electric scooter in the Indian market priced at Rs 91,399 (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book the e-scooter online or visit their nearest dealership. Deliveries are expected to begin soon. The new Chetak is now the most accessible model in the Chetak range, offering a significantly lower price point along with reduced range and top speed. The new Bajaj Chetak C25 competes with Ola S1 X, Hero Vida VX2, and TVS Orbiter. Talking about battery first, the Chetak C2501 is powered by a floorboard-mounted 2.5kWh battery paired with a hub-mounted motor rated for 1.8kW (continuous) and 2.2kW (peak). It has a claimed range of 113km and has a top speed of 55 kph. Using a 750W charger, the battery can be charged to full in claimed 3.45 hours.
Design-wise, the new Bajaj Chetak C2501 features minor cosmetic changes. The front apron gets redesigned which gives the scooter a cleaner appearance. The turn indicators have been relocated from the apron to the handlebar and the signature horseshoe-shaped headlamp remains, complete with an LED daytime running light neatly integrated around it.At rear, the scooter now features a redesigned taillamp with a horizontal layout, moving away from the earlier split-style arrangement. The seat has also been reworked and is now flatter, measuring 650 mm in length with a seat height of 763 mm. The C2501 is offered in six colour options – green, white, black, grey, red and yellow. Features-wise, it gets an LCD instrument display, key-based ignition, a twin-sided swingarm, an open glovebox, with LED lighting all around, 25 litres of under-seat storage, reverse assist, Bluetooth connectivity with music playback, and a USB charging port.Speaking on the launch, Eric Vas, President – Urbanite Business, Bajaj Auto Ltd., said, “The Chetak C25 reflects a clear shift in how urban mobility is being used today—shorter trips, tighter streets and a growing need for independent movement. While its form is compact and contemporary, the fundamentals remain unmistakably Chetak: solidity, sturdiness and reliability. The C25 allows us to extend the Chetak portfolio to a younger, more agile use case, while continuing to deliver the trust and confidence that the brand has stood for over generations.”
