The previous Chetak had two battery pack options - the 2.88-kWh battery with a range of 123 km, and the 3.2-kWh battery with a range of 137 km - but this 35 Series has a 3.5-kWh battery with a range of up to 153 km.
There will be an entry-level Chetak as well, called the 3503, whose price will be announced later - it will have the same battery but less features.
It doesn't just get a bigger battery, but its frame has also been redesigned in a way that the battery now sits under the floor, helping liberate more under-seat storage (which has gone up from 21 litres to 35 litres).
The Chetak 35 Series competes with Ola S1 Pro (₹1.29 lakh, but longer claimed range of 195 km thanks to its 4-kWh battery), as well as Ather Rizta 3.7 kWh (159 km; ₹1.46 lakh) and TVS iQube 3.4 kWh (over 100 km; ₹1.46 lakh).
Bajaj Auto has opened bookings and said that deliveries will start by the end of the month, and that the older 2.88-kWh and 3.2-kWh variants will be phased out soon.
