Bajaj Chetak C25 Debuts at Rs 91,399 as First Rides Gauge Its City Focus

Early tests point to city‑friendly manners, roughly 70–95 km real range, with key functions gated by a Rs 3,000 TecPac.

Overview

  • Priced at Rs 91,399 (ex‑showroom), the entry‑level Chetak C25 targets the ~Rs 1 lakh buyer and lines up against TVS iQube 2.2kWh and Vida VX2 Go.
  • It uses a 2.5 kWh battery and a hub motor rated at about 2.2 kW, with a claimed 113 km IDC range and a 55 km/h top speed.
  • Reviewers report real‑world range estimates spanning roughly 70–95 km, smooth but modest performance, and a ride tuned for everyday urban use.
  • A 750W portable charger is standard with claimed times of 0–80% in about 2h25m and 0–100% in around 3h45m; practicality highlights include a metal body, 107–108 kg kerb weight, 763 mm seat height, and 25 litres of storage.
  • Several conveniences such as Sport mode, hill‑hold, music control and guide‑me‑home lights require the optional Rs 3,000 TecPac, and coverage notes conflicting reports on the rear suspension layout that warrant clarification.
