Bajaj’s much-anticipated electric scooter, the Chetak, has finally arrived in Nepal. Hansraj Hulaschand & Co., the official distributor for Bajaj in Nepal, is preparing for its formal launch at a newly built showroom in Naxal, Kathmandu.
The Chetak is entering a hot EV market where smart electric scooters from TVS, Ather, and NIU have already made waves. But with its iconic design and solid build, Bajaj is betting big on Chetak to win Nepal’s urban riders.
India offers three variants—Urbane, Premium, and TecPac. While Bajaj Nepal hasn’t confirmed which ones are hitting our roads, sources suggest Premium and TecPac models are likely. These trims come with extra tech, higher quality materials, and connected features.
Chetak packs a 3.2 kWh IP67-rated lithium-ion battery, strong enough for everyday rides without frequent charging.
This makes it perfect for daily Kathmandu commutes, even with detours and uphill roads.
Even without going overboard on tech, Chetak delivers where it matters:
These features are accessible through the My Chetak app, available on Android and iOS.
Chetak enters a market with tough competitors like:
Model | Range (km) | Top Speed | Price (approx.) |
---|---|---|---|
TVS iQube | 100–120 | 78 km/h | Rs. 3.75 – 4.25 Lakh |
Ather 450X | 111 – 150 | 90 km/h | Rs. 4.5 – 5.2 Lakh |
NIU NQi GT | 95–140 | 70 km/h | Rs. 3.5 – 3.9 Lakh |
Bajaj Chetak | 127 | 73 km/h | Rs. 3.5 – 4.2 Lakh |
Chetak brings better build quality, brand reliability, and a familiar name—making it an easy pick for those who want a premium but simple EV scooter.

Bajaj Nepal hasn’t officially released pricing, but based on variant estimates and market trends, we expect:
This positions Chetak right in the sweet spot—cheaper than Ather, close to TVS, and far more premium than most Chinese imports.
If you're looking for a reliable electric scooter with good range, low maintenance, premium build, and tech features you’ll actually use, Chetak is a solid choice. It’s practical for city commutes, delivers great efficiency, and is backed by Bajaj’s solid after-sales network.
