Bajaj Chetak 3503

The Chetak 3503 is the value route to the big-battery Chetak — the same 3.5 kWh pack and 151 km claimed range as the flagship 3501 with a simpler console and slower charging for less money. Best for city-first riders who want range and Bajaj's service reach over headline features.
