Bajaj Chetak Urbane Electric Scooter
Bajaj has recently unveiled its latest offering in the electric scooter market – the Chetak Urbane. Packed with exciting features and advanced performance, this two-wheeler is set to revolutionize the way we commute. In this article, we will delve into the key aspects of this new release, its pricing, range, battery capacity, riding modes, and more.
Price
The Chetak Urbane comes in two options: the standard version priced at Rs 1.15 lakh and an upgraded version called the “Tecpac” available for Rs 1.21 lakh. Investing in the “Tecpac” unlocks a multitude of additional features and enhanced performance.
Range and Battery Pack
When it comes to range, the Bajaj website indicates that the Urbane boasts a slightly higher range of 113km compared to the current Chetak’s 108km. However, it’s important to note that the Urbane’s range is IDC-certified, while the current Chetak’s range is claimed to be 108km in real-world conditions (with an IDC rating of 126km). This suggests that the Urbane might offer slightly less range in practical usage, although we await further details to confirm this. Nevertheless, it’s worth mentioning that the Urbane maintains the same impressive 2.9kWh battery capacity as its predecessor.
Design and Riding Modes
The Chetak Urbane retains the stunning color LCD display present in the Premium variant. It offers a maximum speed of 63kph in its standard form, catering to your daily commuting needs. Additionally, the scooter features an Eco riding mode, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an eco-friendly and fuel-efficient travel option.
For enthusiasts craving a sportier experience, the “Tecpac” upgrade raises the top speed to 73kph and introduces a thrilling Sport riding mode. This exciting addition is sure to inject an extra dose of fun and adrenaline into your rides.
Charging and Braking
While the Chetak Urbane brings exciting improvements in various aspects, there are a couple of areas where it falls behind the existing Chetak Premium version. The charging rate for the standard charger has been reduced from 800W to 650W. As a result, the charging time has increased from 3 hours and 50 minutes to approximately 4 hours and 50 minutes. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that the Urbane variant is equipped with drum brakes on both ends.
