Bajaj Chetak C25 Launched at ₹91,399: Full Details

Bajaj Auto has strengthened its electric scooter portfolio with the launch of the Chetak C25, the most affordable model in the Chetak range so far. Priced at ₹91,399 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new variant is aimed squarely at urban commuters and first-time EV buyers.

With this move, Bajaj is clearly targeting rivals like the Ola S1X and TVS iQube, while banking on its proven metal-body construction and wide dealer network.

Performance & Range: Built for the City

The Chetak C25 focuses on efficiency and ease of riding rather than outright speed.

Battery: 2.5 kWh NMC pack (IP67-rated)
Claimed Range: 113 km (IDC)
Top Speed: 55 kmph
Motor: 2.2 kW hub-mounted unit
Climbing Ability: 19% gradient with pillion

The floorboard-mounted battery helps keep the center of gravity low, making the scooter stable and easy to handle in stop-and-go traffic.

With 390+ exclusive EV stores and over 4,000 sales points, Bajaj is leveraging its biggest strength—trust and physical presence—to win over hesitant EV buyers.

GadiGarage Verdict

The Bajaj Chetak C25 isn’t about thrill riding—it’s about reliability, low running costs, and everyday usability. The 55 kmph top speed may seem modest, but the solid metal body, stable handling, and 113 km range make it a strong urban EV package.

So, what do you think — is the Chetak C25’s range enough for daily city use, or does the limited top speed hold it back?

Vietnamese EV giant VinFast has unveiled one of the most aggressive electric two-wheeler expansion plans anywhere in the world. By Q1 2026, the company aims to deploy nearly 45,000 battery swap cabinets across 34 provinces, a number that will outnumber conventional petrol stations in the country.

Alongside this massive infrastructure rollout, VinFast has also launched four new electric two-wheelers—Viper, Feliz II, Evo, and Amio—each designed to fully leverage its battery-swapping ecosystem.

Battery Swapping at National Scale

Rather than focusing on ultra-large batteries or ultra-fast charging, VinFast is doubling down on battery swapping as its core EV strategy.

Infrastructure Highlights

4,500 swap stations already operational
Target: 45,000 battery cabinets by Q1 2026
Coverage: 34 provinces nationwide
Swap Time: Minutes instead of hours

All compatible scooters use a standardized 1.5 kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery, chosen for:

VinFast Viper: Tech-Heavy Flagship

The VinFast Viper sits at the top of the new range and showcases the brand’s premium intent.

Key Tech Features

Real-time GPS vehicle tracking
Remote locking and anti-theft alerts
Smartphone-based vehicle search
Dual rear shocks with external oil reservoirs for better ride control

The Viper is designed for dense urban conditions where ride quality, security, and fast refueling matter more than outright speed.

Aggressive Ownership Benefits

To push rapid adoption, VinFast is offering one of the most generous ownership packages in the EV space—valid until mid-2027.

Customer Incentives

Zero down payment options
Complimentary battery swapping for early buyers
Free access to public charging stations
Flexible financing and subscription-style usage models

This reduces both upfront cost and long-term running anxiety.

GadiGarage Verdict

While most EV manufacturers are chasing bigger batteries, VinFast is betting on better infrastructure. A 45,000-unit battery swap network fundamentally changes how electric scooters are used, making them as convenient as petrol-powered machines.

If executed well, this model could become a blueprint for high-density urban EV adoption—especially in markets where charging at home isn’t always possible.

So, what do you think — would you prefer instant battery swapping over waiting to charge, even if it means a smaller battery?
