Bajaj has just made the Chetak electric scooter lineup more accessible with the launch of its most budget-friendly variant yet—the Chetak 3503. Priced at Rs. 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), this new trim is nearly Rs. 20,000 cheaper than the 3501 variant, making it an attractive option for EV buyers on a tighter budget.
With this move, Bajaj is clearly aiming to bring the premium Chetak experience to a broader range of customers, especially those who are looking for a reliable city commuter without breaking the bank.
Overview
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the Chetak 3503 brings to the table:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | Rs. 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) |
| Range | 155km per charge |
| Top Speed | 63kmph |
| Charging Time | Longer than higher variants |
| Battery | Same as 3501 and 3502 variants |
| Colours | Indigo Blue, Brooklyn Black, Cyber White, Matt Grey |
Features
So, what did Bajaj do to lower the price?
To make the Chetak 3503 more affordable, Bajaj trimmed down some features. It skips the sequential turn indicators and uses a basic Bluetooth instrument cluster instead of the more advanced one seen on higher trims. While this may sound like a compromise, these changes are aimed at keeping the core functionality intact while making the scooter accessible to more people.
Charging also takes a bit longer compared to the higher-end models. Still, for someone who rides mainly in the city and charges overnight, this might not be a dealbreaker.
Performance
The Chetak 3503 comes with the same battery pack as its pricier siblings. However, the top speed is limited to 63kmph, which is lower than other variants. This is clearly targeted at urban commuters who don’t necessarily need high-speed capabilities for daily rides.
Interestingly, despite the lower top speed, the 3503 offers a slightly higher range of 155km on a single charge. That’s a solid plus point for users who want to travel more between charges.
Design and Colors
Aesthetically, the 3503 retains the stylish retro-modern look that the Chetak brand is known for. It is offered in four colour options:
- Indigo Blue
- Brooklyn Black
- Cyber White
- Matt Grey
These options allow buyers to pick a finish that best matches their personality and riding style.
Bookings and Delivery
Bookings for the Chetak 3503 are now open on Bajaj’s official website. You can reserve yours right away, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first week of May. This launch comes just in time for the summer season when two-wheeler sales typically see a spike.
The Bajaj Chetak 3503 makes a strong case for anyone seeking an affordable electric scooter with a dependable range and proven build quality. Yes, it compromises on a few premium features, but in return, it opens the door for more Indian commuters to step into the EV world.
