Nowadays people in cities are troubled by the rising cost of petrol and traffic problems. In such a situation, electric scooters are emerging as a smart option – cheap, clean and easy to ride. Understanding this need, Bajaj has introduced a new avatar of its popular Chetak scooter – Bajaj Chetak 3001. Its price starts from ₹ 99,990, which is considered a big step in the world of electric scooters.
