      I’ve been using the Chetak for the past two years, and it has truly been a great selection. The charging time is impressive, and I consistently get a range of around 110 km per charge. In terms of safety and looks, the Chetak stands out—it feels reliable and stylish on the road. Overall, I’m very satisfied with its performance and build quality. Thank you for bringing such a great product to the market.
