Bajaj Chetak Electric 3503 is finally out. And it’s turning heads like never before. The classic charm of Chetak is back, but now with a fully electric heart and smarter features. Bajaj has gone one step ahead this time by upgrading the Chetak lineup with the 3503 variant. It comes with a bigger battery, more tech, and a few fresh design changes.
If you love scooters that look timeless but ride like the future, this one’s for you.
Let’s talk in detail about what this new Chetak Electric 3503 offers. We’ll cover its design, battery, range, performance, features, and of course, the price.
Retro design with modern touch
The Chetak name has always been special in India. It’s got history. And Bajaj has done a great job keeping that retro feel alive in this electric version.
The metal body gives the scooter a solid and classy look. The curves are smooth. The finish is premium. It doesn’t scream for attention but quietly impresses.
The new 3503 variant brings a few updates. The paint quality feels richer. There are new colour options including Matte Indigo Blue and Satin Black. These shades look stylish without going over the top.
The front has a sleek LED headlamp with a horseshoe shape. It gives a modern glow at night. The indicators are also LED now. The handlebar is wide, and mirrors are chrome-finished to keep that vintage vibe.
The rear gets a clean design with a sharp tail light and a soft grab rail for the pillion. There’s no messy wiring or open panels. Everything is tucked in neatly.
New battery, better range
The biggest update in the Chetak Electric 3503 is the battery. Bajaj has now given it a 3.2 kWh battery pack, which is a clear step up from the older version.
This battery is fixed, so it’s not removable. But the build is strong, and it sits under the floorboard to give better balance while riding.
With this bigger battery, the Chetak 3503 now gives a certified range of up to 126 km on a full charge. In real-world city traffic, you can expect anywhere between 100 to 115 km depending on how you ride and use features like the headlamp or Bluetooth.
For most people, this range is more than enough for daily office runs, short trips, or even weekend plans.
Smooth and silent ride
The motor in the Chetak 3503 is rated at 4.2 kW peak power. It feels refined. You don’t get any noise, no jerks. Just smooth, instant acceleration.
The top speed is limited to 73 km/h, which is good enough for city roads. It doesn’t feel underpowered or slow. It gets off the line quickly and maintains steady speed without any drama.
There are two riding modes—Eco and Sport. Eco gives you maximum range. Sport gives you better throttle response. There’s also a reverse mode, which helps in tight parking spaces.
One of the best parts? No chain. It uses a belt drive system, which is cleaner and needs less maintenance.
Charging made easy
Charging the Chetak 3503 is simple. You can plug it into a standard 5A socket at home. It takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to go from 0 to 100%.
Bajaj offers a home charging setup with the scooter. It’s neat, and the charger cuts off automatically once the battery is full.
There’s no fast charging option yet, but with the improved battery size and better efficiency, daily users won’t feel the need for it.
Updated digital tech
Bajaj has added more smartness to the Chetak Electric 3503. The digital instrument cluster now has Bluetooth connectivity.
You can connect your phone and access call alerts, music control, and even navigation support through the Bajaj Chetak app.
The screen shows your battery percentage, speed, range, ride mode, and trip info. It also has smart alerts for side stand down, service reminders, and power consumption stats.
The app lets you check real-time scooter location, battery status, trip history, and lock/unlock features. It’s smooth and useful for daily riders.
Ride comfort and handling
The ride quality on the Chetak 3503 is comfortable. It feels planted on the road, even on bumpy patches. The front suspension is a leading-link type, which is a bit rare these days. But it works well for Indian roads. At the rear, it has a monoshock suspension.
The seat is wide and soft. It’s good for long rides too. The handlebar position is upright, and there’s enough legroom even for taller riders.
The scooter feels light but not flimsy. It weighs around 134 kg, which makes it stable but easy to handle.
Turning in narrow lanes, parking in tight spots, and weaving through traffic is no trouble at all.
Brakes and tyres
The Chetak 3503 comes with a front disc and rear drum brake setup. Braking is sharp and confident. You also get a combined braking system (CBS) for better safety.
The tyres are tubeless and mounted on 12-inch alloy wheels. They grip well in dry and wet conditions. The scooter doesn’t slip even when braking hard.
Storage and convenience
Under the seat, you get 18 liters of storage space. That’s enough for a half-face helmet and a few small items. There’s also a small storage pocket in the front to hold your phone or wallet.
There’s a USB charging port as well, which is very handy while riding. The seat can be opened remotely with a switch on the handlebar.
The boot is lighted, so it’s easy to find things at night. The overall practicality is well thought out.
Build quality and reliability
Bajaj has gone for an all-metal body, which is rare in electric scooters today. Most brands use fibre or plastic panels. But this one feels solid. It adds to the weight a bit, but the durability is much higher.
Even the paint finish, switch quality, and fit-and-finish are top class. Nothing feels cheap. This gives the scooter a premium edge over its rivals.
Chetak has been tested across various Indian weather conditions, and it holds up well. Rain, dust, or sun—it rides steady.
Variants and colour options
The Bajaj Chetak Electric 3503 is expected to come in two trims—Urbane and Premium. The Premium version gets all the extra features like Bluetooth, app support, and more colours.
There are around 5 to 6 colour options including silver, red, blue, black, and green. All of them have a matte or satin finish, which looks elegant.
Price and booking details
Now comes the best part. The price.
The Bajaj Chetak Electric 3503 is priced at around ₹1.15 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s a very competitive price for a metal-bodied, premium electric scooter with good range and solid tech.
Bookings are open online and at Bajaj Chetak Experience Centers. The booking amount is around ₹2,000. Deliveries are already happening in top cities and expanding to smaller towns.
