Bajaj has recently gained immense fame in the EV market, with rising sales and a growing market share, successfully challenging its competitors like Ola and TVS.
With the launch of this 2nd generation of Chetak scooters, Bajaj is set to raise the stakes in the electric two-wheeler market, making competition fiercer than ever.
Now that the new Chetak Series is here, let’s compare it with the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 with the 3501 variant to determine which electric scooter stands out as the better choice for buyers.
The new Bajaj Chetak 35 series keeps its retro look but comes with minor design updates and new color options.
The biggest change is in the features, especially on the top-end 3501 variant, which now includes a touchscreen dashboard instead of the old non-touch display.
This TFT screen offers smartphone connectivity, music controls, maps, geofencing, and more, making Chetak better equipped to compete with its rivals.
The wheelbase has been extended by 25mm, creating more space on the floorboard. Bajaj also added a new motor, reduced costs, and extended the seat by 80mm using an updated chassis. The boot can now fit two helmets and includes a 950-watt onboard charger, which is unique in the EV segment.
The updated instrument cluster now shows full maps instead of turn-by-turn navigation. The touch-enabled TFT display also supports music connectivity and provides call and message alerts, along with other useful features.
These updates make the Chetak a stronger competitor in the market.
The flat footboard provides extra space for added convenience, and the stronger grab rail ensures a secure grip, making every ride thrilling and comfortable.
