The Chetak name carries genuine weight in South Asia, and Bajaj’s decision to revive it as an electric scooter — with Nepal as its first international electric launch — makes this one of the more significant EV arrivals in the market. The Bajaj Chetak price in Nepal is NPR 3,24,900 for the 3501.

Reading the numbers honestly
The 153 km claim translates to roughly 95–105 km of realistic planning once hills, pillion weight and speed enter — the universal 60–70% rule we apply across our EV coverage. At that level, the Chetak covers essentially any Nepali city commute with comfortable margin, and even valley-to-nearby-town trips become practical.
The 35-litre under-seat storage is the specification that quietly matters most for daily use — enough for a full-face helmet plus shopping, which many electric scooters cannot manage.
The IP67-rated battery addresses the monsoon question directly.
73 km/h top speed is genuine highway-adjacent capability, not a city-only 45 km/h limitation like some budget-band alternatives.
Why the Bajaj network changes the calculation
This is the Chetak’s strongest argument, and it mirrors the TVS iQube case: Nepal’s EV two-wheeler market is full of capable machines from brands with thin service networks. Bajaj, through Hansraj Hulaschand & Co., has one of the country’s deepest dealer webs — the same network servicing Pulsar owners in every district town.
The essential caveat: a conventional Bajaj workshop is not automatically an EV workshop. Ask specifically whether your local dealer has EV-trained technicians and stocks battery modules, controllers and chargers. The starting position is far stronger than a new-entrant badge, but confirm it for your town.
How it compares
| Scooter | Price (NPR) | Claimed range |
|---|---|---|
| TVS iQube 3.5 | 3,39,900 | 145 km |
| Bajaj Chetak 3501 | 3,24,900 | 153 km |
| Yadea G6 | 2,60,000 | 150 km |
| NIU NQi Sport | 3,48,000 | ~80 km |
| Super Soco TC | 2,95,900–3,89,900 | varies |
Against the iQube — its closest structural rival, also from a mainstream motorcycle brand — the Chetak undercuts on price and edges the range claim. That pairing is the segment’s most important cross-shop for buyers who prioritise service network above all.
