                        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

                        I own this bike since 2022
                        I own this bike since 2022 it was fun to ride it but also had some flaws with its transmission whenever i used to down shift to 2nd or first gear it stops the engine I went to service station several times but it used to stop just for some days. Other than this it is a good bike to ride in city and very comfortable for long rides. And parts are not easily available.

                        Very good performance at this price range & comfort is quite good... overall looks are good seat a disadvantage is the seat height moreover about the pillion comfort is great if I'm the pillion no doubt I would choose this bike as my primary bike... and the good part is it isn't really heat as much as bullet 350

                        The Tokyo Black variant exudes
                        The Tokyo Black variant exudes a minimalist, neo-retro charm with its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, round headlamp, and clean lines. The blacked-out finish enhances its urban appeal, giving it a sleek and understated look. Despite its compact proportions, the Hunter 350 maintains a muscular stance, making it both approachable and visually striking.
