Telugu Maitri, Webdesk: Bajaj Chetak C25 Electric Scooter
If you’re commuting daily through the heavy traffic in Hyderabad or Vijayawada, you know how frustrating petrol prices have become.
Every time you fill up, you wonder how much more you can save. Many of us start thinking about switching to an electric scooter, but then the confusion sets in — is the price too high? Will the range be enough for my daily ride without constant charging worries? The Bajaj Chetak C25 Electric Scooter has just been launched at ₹91,399, and it feels like a practical choice for so many Telugu families. For those doing 30–40 km a day, one charge should easily cover it, with zero petrol costs. The metal body gives it solid durability for long-term use. Seeing an option like this at such a price point naturally sparks interest.
Bajaj Chetak C25 Electric Scooter : Why the price feels so attractive
This scooter is available at ₹91,399 (ex-showroom), making it the most affordable model in the entire Chetak series. Compared to the premium variants, it’s significantly lower. For people in our Telugu states looking to buy an electric scooter, this is genuinely budget-friendly. Add in any available subsidies or state incentives, and the on-road price drops even further. Bookings are already open — you can reserve it online or at a dealer with just a ₹2,000 token amount.
Battery and range performance
It comes with a 2.5 kWh battery placed under the floorboard. This is an NMC-type battery with IP67 rating, so it’s well protected even during heavy rain.
Bajaj claims a full charge gives 113 km range (as per IDC testing). In real-world city riding, expect around 90–100 km, which is more than enough for most daily commutes. The 750W off-board charger takes it from 0–80% in about 2 hours 25 minutes, and a full charge in roughly 3 hours 45 minutes. Plug it in overnight at home, and you’re good to go the next morning.
Motor, speed, and ride quality
The hub-mounted motor delivers 2.2 kW peak power and 1.8 kW continuous. Top speed is 55 kmph — plenty for city traffic where you rarely need more. You get Eco and Sport riding modes to choose between efficiency and a bit of extra punch. At just 108 kg, it’s noticeably lighter (22 kg less than some higher-end Chetak models), which makes it easier to handle. Seat height is a low 763 mm, so it’s comfortable for women and younger riders too. Telescopic front suspension and twin rear shocks provide decent comfort over our uneven roads. The turning radius is only 1825 mm, which is excellent for navigating tight streets and U-turns.
From what I’ve noticed on many Telugu websites and forums, people thinking about electric scooters worry most about range and charging time. The C25 addresses those concerns quite well for city use.
Design and build quality
The standout feature is the full metal body — much stronger and more durable than plastic-bodied scooters, promising better longevity. It carries a neo-retro design with rounded shapes, LED headlamp, and daytime running lights. There are six attractive colors: Active Black, Racing Red, Classic White, Ocean Teal, Opalescent Silver, and Misty Yellow. The graphics give it a youthful, modern vibe. Under the seat you get 25 liters of storage — enough for a full-face helmet. There’s also a front glove box for small items.
Key features that matter in daily use
The color LCD display shows all essential info clearly. You can accept or reject calls and control music right from the handlebar. Reverse mode helps in tight parking spots, and hill-hold assist works on inclines up to 19%. Braking is handled by a front disc and rear drum with Combined Braking System (CBS) for better safety. Other practical touches include guide-me-home lights and a Type-C USB port for charging your phone. These small things make everyday riding more convenient.
Overall, the Bajaj Chetak C25 Electric Scooter looks like a strong fit for city commuting. It brings good range, solid build, and useful features at a very reasonable price. Even with so much competition in the electric vehicle space, Bajaj’s reputation for reliability and widespread service network gives it an edge. Take your time, go for a test ride, and see if it matches your needs. With a scooter like this, getting through daily traffic becomes simpler, cheaper, and less stressful.
