Bajaj Auto has just rolled out a new addition to its electric scooter lineup – the Chetak 3001. Priced at Rs. 99,990 (ex-showroom), this new model is built on the brand’s Chetak 35 series platform and takes over from the outgoing Chetak 2903. With improved features, better range, and practical upgrades, the 3001 looks like a smart move in the growing EV market.

Range
One of the biggest highlights of the Chetak 3001 is its range. Bajaj claims it can deliver up to 127km on a single full charge. That’s a decent figure for urban and semi-urban riders who need something reliable for daily commutes. You won’t be hunting for a charger every day, which is a big plus for anyone making the switch from petrol to electric.
Battery
Powering the scooter is a 3.0kWh battery mounted on the floorboard, helping lower the center of gravity and improve stability. It also comes with a 750W charger as standard, which takes the battery from 0 to 80 percent in roughly four hours. While not the fastest in the segment, it’s still practical for overnight or mid-day home charging.
Here’s a quick look at the battery and charging specs:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 3.0kWh |
| Charger | 750W (included) |
| Charging Time (0–80%) | Approx. 4 hours |
| Claimed Range | 127km per charge |
Storage
Another standout feature is the under-seat storage. The Chetak 3001 offers a massive 35-litre space, which is among the best in its class. That’s enough room for a full-face helmet, groceries, or your work bag. For everyday riders, that kind of practicality is a big win.
Features
The Chetak 3001 isn’t just about numbers—it’s loaded with convenience features too. It retains the same digital instrument panel from previous models but adds smart touches like call and music controls. You also get hill hold, a reverse light, and guide-me-home lamps.
And yes, it’s connected. The built-in smartphone connectivity allows you to access ride stats and diagnostics, making it easier to monitor performance and plan your rides.
Here’s a quick list of features:
