      The Bajaj Chetak 2023 model is an excellent electric scooter. It gives a range of around 105 to 110 km on a full charge, which is impressive. The riding experience is smooth and feels like high quality. With a full metal body, it offers durability and a premium feel. Performance-wise, it’s top-notch — I’ve been using it for 6 months without facing a single issue. Truly a dependable and well-built scooter.
