                  Nice scooty but there is little bit of draw bakcs which is in performace and features in comparrison to ola scooty there is major missings in pickup and features i think it is suitable for people living in cities and for those delivery boys who just wants to save their money on petrol i have experience for driving different electric scooters but chetak has some retro feel and good milage,, the milage decreases after some years... nice consider to buy

                  Problems of Auxiliary battery in Chetak 3501
                  I bought Bajaj Chetak 3501 being influenced by the tag line 'ye to Shola Hai ' and enjoyed riding it from New year 2025 , but there is a recurrent problem which the Company must fix for ensuring customer satisfaction. The issue is related to Auxiliary battery which becomes fully discharged and the Vehicle becomes immobile , even the unlocking of the handle is impossible. As a result the vehicle is towed to the Service Centre. I had already faced it twice in the past four months and now the vehicle is immobile for third time. The Service personnel are quite responsive in fixing it within an hour, but towing the vehicle is always a big hassle and it really questions the versatility of 3501. I wish I should have waited for four months more to get a Chetak 3503. Shall be thankful if Bajaj fixes this problem in 3501 by recalling this model , because I feel the owners of Chetak 3501 must be facing the similar problems in their vehicles too. Thanks

                  Bajaj chetak is good vehicle
                  It's a good vehicle. I am using this from past one month and able to cut my fuel cost by half. It's easy to handle but safety and maintenance is necessary. As of it's charging make sure it was charged by fast charger. I will highly recommend bajaj chetak for city but avoid it on hilly terrain. Overall a good vehicle.

                  Heart touching vehicle
                  My experience with Bajaj Chetak is very good. The reason for buying it was that my father had an old Chetak scooter which I still have. To give me the same feeling back, I gifted this to my father. They feel that their Chetak's deficiency is fulfilled, they just charge in the night and go out in the morning and evening

                  Excellent Mileage, Powerful engine
                  This is my first bike, Mileage of Bajaj Freedom 125 is mind blowing, I am getting 80Kmpl on normal road and ~90Kmpl on Highways Road, and people think if bike is giving extra mileage then it will give low power but this false fact with this power bike is also unbelievable and top speed is approx 90Kmh. I will say I have purchase a best Bike
