Pros & Cons

Chetak Pros & Cons	Indie Pros & Cons	Roadster X Pros & Cons
Pros	Charming design which perfectly makes use of modern elements on retro body shape. 35L of boot space is the best in the segment. The 5-inch TFT display is packed with all the modern features. Plus, it’s a touchscreen as well. Available in five striking glossy colors. Bajaj's strong network and brand value make it a more reliable option than its rivals. The new 35 Series uses a 3.5 kWh battery pack, which has a certified range of 153 km. The seat height has been increased to 725 mm in the 35 Series variants.		-
Cons	Rivals like Ola S1 offer more range at this price tag Limited app connectivity features, most of which are visible only on the TFT display. Poor fit and finish of the charging socket, which appears like an after thought Unlike rivals, its charging socket is under the seat, which is a major drawback. There is no disc brake at the rear, even at Rs 1.27 lakh ex-showroom.		-

  This scooter is best for local travel, and the mileage is very good. I think it is even better than many EV models and mopeds. Thank you, Chetak—it's a great option for all segments and truly a reliable choice.
