Electric scooters have ingrained themselves as mainstream mobility alternatives in countries like India. In a country where fuel is heavily taxed and the average salary is around $12,000 per year, it just makes sense that the populace gravitates towards affordable and accessible transportation.
Recent years have ushered in new and exciting offerings in the e-mobility space, and a lot of them focus on utility, practicality, and affordability, while still throwing in tech features that make these otherwise appliance-like two-wheelers feel a bit more special. We’ve seen it from new players like Ola Electric and Ather Energy, however, established players aren’t willing to be left behind, either. For the 2024 model-year, Bajaj, one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world in terms of volume, has released a much-awaited update of the Chetak electric scooter.
