New Bajaj Chetak 35 Series LaunchBajaj Launches New Chetak Electric Scooter 35 Series: Bigger, Better, and Smarter
Bajaj Auto has launched the latest range of its popular Chetak electric scooter today, introducing the all-new Chetak 35 Series. Packed with significant upgrades, these scooters are designed to provide a more practical, convenient, and connected riding experience. Priced from Rs 1.2 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Chetak 3502 and Rs 1.27 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Chetak 3501, they offer enhanced range, performance, and features, making them the most advanced Chetak scooters yet.
New Platform with Enhanced Storage and Battery Placement
The Chetak 35 Series is based on an entirely new platform, which has enabled the integration of a larger 3.5 kWh underfloor battery pack. This placement not only improves weight distribution and handling but also frees up 35 liters of under-seat storage, offering ample space for helmets and other essentials. The charger cable now has its own compartment, further optimizing storage convenience.

Comfort and Practicality
Bajaj has made the new Chetak even more rider-friendly with an increased seat length, enhancing comfort for both rider and pillion. The addition of reverse mode makes navigating tight parking spaces easier than ever.

2025 Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooter SpiedRajiv Bajaj recently revealed that Chetak has become the No 1 selling electric scooter in India for Dec 2024
Bajaj is gearing up to launch the updated 2025 Chetak electric scooter on December 20, and fresh spy shots provide a closer look at what’s in store. Spotted testing near Bajaj’s Pune plant, the new Chetak hints at key updates, including a revamped design, potential new features, and improved performance. Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Anvay Sheolikar.
New Chassis and Platform for Better Performance
The upcoming 2025 Bajaj Chetak is expected to utilize a brand-new platform with a lighter chassis. This move could enhance its handling, agility, and range. One noticeable change from the spy shots is the potential relocation of the battery pack to the floorboard area. This would result in improved weight distribution, lower center of gravity, and more stability during cornering, braking, and low-speed maneuvers.

The updated battery pack could also introduce better energy efficiency, higher capacity, and improved safety features. If so, the new Chetak could offer an extended range to compete with rivals like Ola S1, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube.
Enhanced Storage and Practicality
Spy shots reveal that Bajaj may address a key concern with the current Chetak models—limited storage space. By relocating the battery, under-seat storage could be significantly improved, making it more practical for daily use. This change could align the Chetak with competitors that already offer larger storage compartments.

Possible New Features
While the overall retro-modern styling remains intact, subtle design tweaks can be seen in the test units. The body panels showcase slight refinements, and new color options may be introduced to give buyers more choices. The rear section shows redesigned tail lamps with a sleeker LED pattern, adding a fresh touch to its appearance.

The instrument cluster might also receive an upgrade, potentially offering a more advanced display with features like smartphone connectivity and navigation. One of the test mules is wearing steel wheels, which is new for Chetak as all variants today are seen with alloys.
Lower Pricing and Market Strategy
To widen its reach, Bajaj could introduce the new 2025 Chetak at a lower starting price, making it more competitive. As with the current model, multiple variants are expected, catering to diverse customer preferences. The existing Chetak lineup is priced between Rs 95,998 and Rs 1,28,744, depending on the variant. A more affordable base model for 2025 could further strengthen Bajaj’s position in the electric two-wheeler market.

In a significant milestone for Bajaj Auto, Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of the company, announced that their electric scooter, Chetak, has climbed to the top spot in the Indian electric scooter market. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Bajaj shared that based on December VAHAN registration data, the Chetak has surpassed its competitors to become the best-selling electric scooter in the country.
Bajaj Chetak Overtakes Ola
“CNBC-TV18 is very lucky for me… my son Rishabh, who has been part of the Electric Chetak team for the past 2.5 years, told me this morning that based on December VAHAN registration data, our electric scooter Chetak is now the largest-selling electric scooter, not third largest, in the country. So, the award could not be better timed,” said Bajaj.
This achievement comes as Bajaj Auto narrows the gap with Ola Electric, which had been holding the largest EV market share until November. Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company have been closing in on Ola’s lead in the fiercely competitive electric scooter market. Add to this, Bajaj is getting ready to launch new gen Chetak on 20th Dec.
A Playful Jibe at Ola Electric
While celebrating Chetak’s rise to the top, Bajaj couldn’t resist taking a playful dig at Ola Electric and its CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal. Commenting on the competitive landscape, Bajaj said, “Ola toh Ola hai, Chetak shola hai” — implying that while Ola remains a significant player, Chetak is a firebrand in the market.
Ola Electric, led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has been dominating the Indian electric scooter segment for months, but the gap between Ola and its rivals has been shrinking. Bajaj Auto’s success with Chetak, alongside TVS Motor Company’s performance, reflects an increasingly competitive landscape in India’s EV market.
A Proven Strategy: Betting on “BET” Over “OATS”
This latest development adds weight to Rajiv Bajaj’s earlier remarks where he dismissed new-age EV makers as “OATS”—a reference to Ola, Ather, Tork, and Simple—while expressing confidence in “BET”—Bajaj, Enfield, and TVS. Bajaj famously said he would bet on BET rather than OATS, and this statement seems to be ringing true in the current market scenario.
Ola Electric, which dominated the EV market until November, has registered declining sales, while Ather Energy is also witnessing challenges. Tork Motors is reportedly struggling for survival, and Simple Energy is still working on expanding its market reach. Meanwhile, legacy players like Bajaj and TVS have been steadily increasing their footprints by expanding dealerships and service networks, allowing them to gain an edge in the market.
Expanding Networks and Market Share
Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company have been steadily expanding their dealership and service networks, enhancing accessibility for customers across India, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where newer EV brands have faced challenges in establishing a foothold. Ola Electric, however, is not backing down. On December 20, the company plans to open 4,000 stores and service centers nationwide. Furthermore, Ola has ambitious plans for 2025, with multiple new product launches lined up, including electric motorcycles and electric rickshaws, signaling an intensifying competition in the EV market.
