                  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.

                  Bajaj Chetak: Style Meets Electric Power” • “Is Bajaj Chetak Worth Buying
                  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.

                  Suv scooter
                  Build quality superb compare to other like chetak and ola service is also good and more over very important is it's our India brand. I like our nation product and also super ride experience my advice is please increase the range. Range is smaller than other but build quality is good and as well as comfortable for all areas, it's also smoothly ride on difficult road also it's very stylish scooter and could you please increase the range. Stylish design and comfort also good continuously ride long also because of give footrest also that's why it's comfortable to compare the other also carry the heavy weight also small disadvantage is range so look about this.
