User Reviews
I had purchased it when ev was new in market, I am very much satisfied. I had drove it for more than 50000 kms with no expense. I had to change only tyres and regular service only one auxiliary battery of Rs. 800 had been changed. I am quiet impressed me and my son both have purchased but there is very less front space between handle and seat to carry extra luggage vegetables or ration need to improve in this area good service staff in patni and Nagpur. I will recommend everyone to go for this ev only. Positive, Very good for local commute, I had recovered all the money spend for purchase, me and my son had not spend a single penny for petrol, very pleasant ride for city and highway also but with limitation of distance. mid age person college boys with huge space in seat box for helmet and laptop girls working women also it's value for money, I had already 2 chetak with me and both vehicle had been run for 50000 and 23000 kms planning to purchase one more for my wife.Read More
Affordable price of chetak and get many colour options with a durable frame and comfortable ride and cities with a good posture for average height people it might look a little bit different from other Chetak. It gives a mileage of 80 to 100 according to your driving style and with I catching looks and a good design and is easily handle because its weight is very less and have a balanced riding poster and have a special thing which is the word Chetak means reliable. I will recommend this for the people who ride it only in cities and want to ride a little bit for office and all and have a daily running of 20 to 50 km and get a 55 top speed which is slightly less for many people.Read More
