                  Chetak 3501 Hills review After 3 months
                  It is the only EV scooter which has direct drive motor, which ensures smooth power delivery prevents Power loss. Battery is placed in foot area by which the user gets huge boot space, App connectivity which provides Geo fencing, Remote immobilization, Real time monitoring, Over speeding alert and also Speed lock. Suspension could have been improved, since it only features single-sided leading link suspension in the front and an offset mono-shock at the rear It feels rough especially in hilly potholes and unexpected bumps, Center stand often messes with the edges of the roads in hills I recommend Chetak for its torque in hills especially when compared to IQube and Ather both feature Belt drive system which requires more maintenance in Hills. In a Slope Belt drive system is very laggy while a still start situation it is crucial. Chetak offers a smooth power delivery in hills.

                  Best Scooter
                  Cost effective scooter which will definitely save money, the scooter has some real high technology which will surely bring you to the ride as a gen z mood. One should definitely buy this for short distance travel. Smooth ride as I was driving the scooter for last 9 months on the busy city road in the traffic but it never make me feels heavy, the joy was really at its best and now i really think that buying the ev was a good decision. It will save money from unnecessary Gedi Marna in the city as you do not have to buy the petrol for you scooter any more, just full the scooter on charge for 5 6 hours and you will get a joyful ride for next one week.

                  Best family ev scooters
                  Good mileage best for city riders, the seat is very comfortable. Best family ev scooty and it has best build quality, you should buy it if you have family. It can give good mileage you can visit your showroom. Negative is that have less feature like cruise control and the overall vehicle is good. The top speed is 70km/hr is good for scooty, it give 105 km range in eco mode it is too good for me, good ride safety. For family person and city riders you should buy if you have family concern you never regret because it has good service and the service centers are too good in our area. I have 3503 model it give 105 km mileage in eco mode it is too good for me.

                  Classic retro design with metal body feels premium and robust — looks great compared with plastic scooters. On a full charge, many riders get enough range for daily city rides (~80–120 km) which is competitive for urban commuting. Most users find it smooth and comfortable for city traffic and regular use.

                  Review of a 3 year experience
                  I bought it and used to drive upto 90km daily , in my opinion the rider would feel discomfort for longer range and the back passenger feels a very good knockback while accelerating , foot rest isn't good so the backseater would feel his legs going numb or may have cramps , pick-up of the sccoty is good and the speed too , i would recommend this for shorter range not because of mileage but due it's comfort , the seat isn't properly designed for comfort which gives back pain , another con of this vehicle is it's build quality , the break levers won't survive any shock they break easily , my suspensions also got damaged and started to leak but all this problem occurs if you overuse it , using it daily for 30-40km with proper servicing won't give negative response from the scooty. Battery backup isn't reduced or if it is I don't notice it , I use for 90km daily and battery backup is good though it won't run 90km on a single charge.

                  Worst Scooter
                  Worst scooter in the electric version. It is not performing well, the mileage is very bad, and its parts, including the brake wire, broke within a month.
