About Chetak
Bajaj Chetak is an electric scooter available at a starting price of Rs. 1,40,988 in India. It is available in 2 variants and 7 colours with top variant price starting from Rs. 1,45,816. Bajaj Chetak generates 3800 W power from its motor. With front disc and rear drum brakes, Bajaj Chetak comes up with combined braking system of both wheels.
Before Bajaj Auto became popular for its modern range of motorcycles, it was principally known for its two-wheeler scooter, namely the Bajaj Chetak. Over the past few years, the Pune-based two-wheeler giant had completely stopped manufacturing scooters and since then it has been working on a new electric scooter offering and has now finally launched the Chetak, in an electric avatar.
As the name suggests, the scooter harks back to its roots by taking design cues from the iconic Chetak and giving it a contemporary and fresh look. It uses sheet metal body panels that offer a premium touch, while the smooth flowing lines, LED lighting and turn signals with sequential blinking similar to high-end cars add to its modernity. Furthermore, it packs fully-digital Bluetooth-enabled instrumentation that comes with a host of features.
As far as the powertrain is concerned, the Bajaj Chetak is equipped with an electric motor that draws its power from a 3kWh IP67 rated lithium-ion battery. The power rating of its motor is 4kW (peak) and 3.8kW (continuous) with 16Nm of peak torque. The powertrain comes with two drive modes — Sport and Eco, which are capable of returning a range of 95km and 85km, respectively. Bajaj claims that the battery will last for about 70,000km before a replacement is needed. Besides that, Bajaj has equipped the e-scooter with several innovative features like a reverse assist mode, regenerative braking and an onboard Intelligent Battery Management System (IBMS) to control charge and discharge seamlessly.
Bajaj is offering the Chetak electric scooter in two variants, Urbane and Premium. Meanwhile, the colour palette that is available on the Chetak comprises of six options — white, pink, black, yellow, red and blue. Competition-wise, the e-scooter rivals the likes of the Ather 450 and the Okinawa i-Praise in the premium electric scooter market space.

Customer Reviews
I already have a pace and the level is a step up. The torque drive makes for a smoother transition and easier to start off. The shocks also smooth out the ride. However it is a bit harder to get a workout at a slower speed. Level seems much faster at assist 1.
I bought this to commute to work and now I take it everywhere. I live in Seattle, it climbs hills like a champ. The hills were always my barrier for regular bike commuting because let’s face it. who want to show up to a meeting all sweaty. This is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time!
Hi Stephanie, This is exactly what we love to hear! We’re glad you’re able to commute to work and be outside and more active. Thanks for the awesome review. Aventon
I love all the options and ease of use of this bike. Made me excited to ride. Lots of trips planned. Thank you
Coming from a level 1 step through there was something familiar about the level 2 when I rode it. The torque sensor really does make the ride more smooth. The new backlit display is bright and easy to see in the daylight. The brake light and side lights make me feel safer on my commute home from work at night. I honestly didn’t want to wait for someone to assemble it for me so I did it myself. I was a bit nervous but the bike is pretty much assembled on the package. I just had to watch the easy to follow instructions on the Aventon website. All in all it took me about an hour to assemble. I definitely recommend purchasing the level 2. you won’t be disappointed 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your new e-bike! Cheers to many great rides and welcome to the Aventon Family!
I bought the Level 2 for my wife and she was having so much fun I decided to get a Level 2 for myself. I have been riding a roadie for 26 years. I am 75 years old and sometimes the knees get a little sore. This is something my wife and I can do together and keep up with one another. She gave up on standard bike riding because of her knees and now she has no problems. This is a well built bike and brings the joy of riding back in our lives. The bikes are heavier than normal but we purchased a ramp for our porch and we keep the bikes in the house. Buy one-you won’t regret it.
Hey Rider, Thank you for sharing this wonderful photo of your new e-bikes. We can’t wait to see where you both will go next! Don’t forget to register your e-bike at https://www.aventon.com/pages/bike-registration! Cheers, Aventon

Introduction
We purchased two SmartMotion e20 electric folding bikes from Wellington Electric Bikes on the 14th of November 2014. This was the result of a long period of research using some of the links at right. The intention was to match our abilities on hills so we could do some more challenging rides together. These rides will be described in Dizzy’s folding bike blog.
I first considered a conversion of our Giant Expressway 2 bikes but the cost was not too far away from that of new bikes. The sale of our old bikes would make up even more of the difference. I may return to a mid-drive conversion of my old Tarini Mountain bike in the near future. In the meantime I have completed several local routes which I previously found to be hard solo rides. Now we can do them together while still putting in a fair effort.
The personal fitness gained may allow a non-electric bike to be ridden in areas that were initially a challenge, even for an electric bike. In my case I ride my old Tarini mountain bike, now fitted with Maxxis Cross Country DTH 26 inch BMX style tyres. In the front the tyre is 2.3 inches or 58.4 mm wide and in the rear the tyre is 2.15 inches or 54.6 mm wide. I have also updated my Jamis Allegro Sport hybrid bike with Vittoria Randonneur Tech 42 mm wide tyres. In both cases the the ride quality is greatly improved and I can ride up most hills and on a variety of surfaces.
Enlarge the photos by clicking on them. Use the web page back control 16 which may be the source of the error. The counter went 3 counts over and stalled at 6553.9. Also the trip counter now zeros to 44.7 km after power on which is harder to explain. Holding UP, DOWN And SET reset the display, so I can now start again.
First Puncture
On a ride in Paekakariki I experienced a slow puncture in my rear tyre, at the end of the ride. At home I extracted a 2 mm glass fragment, which had gradually worked its way through to penetrate the tube. This fragment is likely to be from a larger shard of glass which has broken and worn down as the tyre rotated. The remaining fragment irritated the tube over some time, until a slow leak occurred. The repair involved removing one side of the tyre from the rim using tyre levers, extracting the tube and patching it. I removed the glass fragment from the tyre by pushing it outwards, from the inside, with a sharp probe. The rear wheel did not need to be removed but the brake cable was released to make room.
00 km
No major issues to report. I repaired another slow leak in the rear tyre from a glass fragment. I simply patched the tube in place rather than removing the wheel. The glass fragment was removed from the inside of the tyre. Désirée’s display also stalled at 6553.9 km and the display needed to be reset.
00 km
We completed the West Coast Wilderness Trail and the The Kaikoura Kowhai Trail without major problems. In total, we had one slow leak in a front tyre and an intermittent electrical fault which was cured by binding the loom extension cable in a loop near the offending connector. I also lost a mirror insert during packing or unpacking, which I replaced. The brake-pads and tyres are still original and have a long way to go before I would consider them worn. On my other bikes the brake-pads show more wear for much less use.
One of our bikes developed a problem with a frame clamp-bolt pin. For over 8000 km these folding frame clamps have been trouble free but recently I noticed, on one bike, the clamp-bolt pin was getting difficult to move in spite of lubrication. This made locking difficult and the pin was therefore replaced. It turned out that the that the pin had bent slightly because of a crack at the mid-point. The pin mid-point is the weakest point because it is drilled to receive a 6 mm bolt. The crack may have started due to loading, corrosion or manufacturing defects. This is the nature of many materials under stress for long periods. I machined a new part using an English grade of stainless steel with a similar nickel content and hardness. I am sure suitable spares can also be obtained, but since the original part cracked, my replacement may be better.
It is possible to subject some grades of stainless steel to moderate repeated stresses and have an essentially infinite fatigue life. A total failure of this part would not necessarily cause any bike instability as it is confined inside the frame. It would simply make the frame clamp almost impossible to close because of the initial bending. If there are changes like this they need to be followed up by a close inspection of all related parts. Clamping forces should not change or require adjustment in the short term.
I lightly sanded the fitting so some dark debris would fill the cracks and make them easy to see and photograph. I initially did not notice them.
We have not been terribly kind to our bikes and we have ridden them for over 4 years in remote places without major problems. Most well used bikes require periodic maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Mountain bikers have on-going maintenance issues with suspensions and other moving parts, for example. In our case, the folding parts need to be watched for any changes, with only one partial failure so far. This might involve the removal of all pins, visual inspection, lubrication and refitting. The normal bike components, such as cogs, bearings, chains, pedals, brakes, derailleurs, wheels, tyres and spokes, have all lasted well.
00 km
There are still no major issues. I have now replaced the chains on both bikes. These chains lasted much longer than the originals because I kept them clean. I removed excess oil with a rag so abrasive dust could not accumulate. Hub drives are kinder to chains and cogs as the motor power is applied directly to the wheel. The smaller effort required from the rider reduces transmission wear.
000 km
We have both exceeded 10000 km. I am slightly behind Désirée as I have been riding my Jamis hybrid bike, or my Giant folding bike, to improve my fitness. Surprisingly, the ebikes still have plenty of wear left on their original brake blocks. The original rear tyres were now fairly well worn. I moved the front tyres to the rear and, on the front wheels, I fitted new Maxxis Hookworm 20 inch BMX tyres.
My method of battery management has seen no significant loss of capacity over 6.8 years of regular use. I simply operate the bike batteries in the linear part of the remaining battery capacity curve.
000 km
We have both ridden our e-bikes more than 11000 km.
We recently did another South Island trip. This included circumnavigating Lake Hayes, with elevated tracks and a long board-walk at the northern end. We did return trips from Ohau Lodge, to the north-west end and to the the south-west corner of lake Ohau. The bikes performed well. The bikes are now 8 years old and still use the original batteries and brake pads. We are close to replacing the rear tyres, probably with Maxxis Hookworm 20 inch BMX tyres.
Conclusion
As with the Giant Expressway 2 folding bikes, we will gradually customise these bikes to our needs. We hope to do a range of interesting new rides. On several recent rides we found that we could keep pace with each other on hills and in strong head-winds. This makes for much more sociable riding, and more opportunities for riding.
My advice when choosing an electric bike is to keep things simple. The electric motor can compliment a basic gearing system such as a 3 speed hub. The best test of an electric bike is to first ride it unpowered. Then ride it on terrains similar to your intended routes. Find a good local bike shop. I have been thinking about Electric Dutch Bikes recently as, mostly, they are good value and nice to ride.
Our bikes are accepted on local trains, usually in an unfolded state. On busy trains or buses they may need to be folded. I might also use a bike bag.
We often use our bikes to ride down to Café Thyme on Middleton Road near Churton Park. It is a seriously steep climb back home and we often shop at the supermarket as well. The electric assist makes the ride enjoyable and it saves using the car too much.
I have added some links under the heading “Innovation” as folding, or lightweight, bikes, lightweight motors and low cost, 36 volt, power tool batteries may be used in the future for assisted bike riding. The ideal electric bike has yet to be designed.
