The onboard electric motor delivers a peak power of 2.95 bhp. This setup emphasizes everyday usability over high-performance features.
Convenient Handling for Urban Roads
With a kerb weight of around 107-108 kg, the Chetak C25 is lightweight by EV standards. This lightness enhances maneuverability in congested urban areas and tight parking spaces.
The compact proportions combined with the lightweight design make the scooter easy to handle. It suits a wide range of riders, including those new to electric vehicles.
Useful Features for Daily Use
The Chetak C25 comes equipped with several practical features. It includes a colour LCD display in the instrument cluster and a USB charging port. Under-seat storage offers 25 litres of space, enough for daily errands or groceries.
