Check out the Bajaj Chetak C2501 specifications, features, ground clearance, seat height, engine cc, gearbox, kerb weight, power, torque, and fuel tank capacity.

<p>While the Chetak EV had a rocky start, it has gone from
strength to strength over the past six years, helping propel Bajaj to second
place in India’s electric two-wheeler market. The Chetak models have always
prioritised a no-nonsense approach, deliberately steering clear of spec-sheet
one-upmanship.</p>
<p>Now, there is a new model in town: the Chetak C2501, or the
C25. It takes the same approach but with a more accessible price tag. This
time, however, Bajaj may have taken the idea of choosing restraint over spec-sheet
numbers a step too far.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Design: Familiar Styling with Subtle Changes</h2><p>First and foremost, what I like most about the C25 is its design. Bajaj has made
only minimal changes to the overall styling, but the more compact footprint and
subtly revised contours work in the scooter’s favour. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_02-1769149122889.webp" alt="Chetak_02.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Unlike the existing models, the C25 features LED turn
indicators integrated into the headlamp housing rather than mounted on the
front apron. This is a notable change, although not one I am particularly fond
of. The scooter features 12-inch wheels at both ends, and the revised
alloy-wheel design looks good. The side panel incorporates a graphic element
near the  section, but it appears somewhat tacked on. Had the graphics
extended further along the side panel, the design might have felt more
cohesive.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_05-1769149153941.webp" alt="Chetak_05.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>At the rear, the C25 receives a new tail-lamp&nbsp;unit with
integrated turn indicators, and here the design works well. Bajaj has also
retained the all-metal bodywork, with no visible screws – a detail that
continues to lend the Chetak a sense of solidity and premium finish.</p>
<p>The instrument cluster is a colour display, though it stops
short of being a full-fledged TFT like those found on some rival scooters. It
is functional, but I did find certain information difficult to read under
direct sunlight. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_04-1769149189583.webp" alt="Chetak_04.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>On a more positive note, the handlebar switchgear has seen a
clear improvement. The switches are thoughtfully designed, fall easily to hand,
and offer a reassuring tactile feel.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Space, Comfort and Everyday Usability</h2><p>The C25 has a shorter wheelbase than the existing models – 1,225mm,
to be precise – and this has resulted in a noticeable reduction in underseat
storage. You get 25 litres of space, which is just about enough to accommodate
certain full-facehelmets. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_08-1769149230426.webp" alt="Chetak_08.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Because the cavity is fairly deep, you can also stash a
small bag here. Additionally, there are two pockets in the front apron for
smaller items, along with a baggage hook. There is no USB charger, which, I
think, is a significant omission.</p><p>The seat is long enough to accommodate two average-built
adults, but the cushioning is on the softer side. As a result, longer stints on
the saddle are unlikely to be particularly comfortable. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_03-1769149254417.webp" alt="Chetak_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The seat height is a very accessible 763mm, while the 170mm
ground clearance is adequate for everyday use. Surprisingly, despite its
compact proportions, there is ample floorboard space to keep your feet in a
neutral, comfortable position.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Battery Range, Motor Output and Ride Modes</h2><p><span>Bajaj
has equipped the C25 with a 3bhp hub-mounted motor, which produces a peak
torque of 114Nm at the wheel. </span></p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_07-1769149291167.webp" alt="Chetak_07.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Top speed is limited to 55km/h, which is underwhelming. Once
again, we have a Chetak with a lower top speed than most of its rivals. Even if
you look past that figure, the scooter’s acceleration is also nothing to write
home about.</p>
<p>Opt for the Tech Pack, and you get two ride modes – Eco and
Sport. Acceleration in the Eco mode feels far too mild for real-world road use,
but Sport mode does inject a bit more life into the scooter, relatively
speaking.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_10-1769149339609.webp" alt="Chetak_10.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Overall, the C25 moves with very little urgency and is
clearly tuned for relaxed, unhurried commuting. That said, it had no trouble
tackling the inclines I encountered during my ride in Pune, whether in the Eco
or Sport mode.</p>
<p>Powering the scooter is a 2.5kWh battery, which Bajaj claims
delivers a range of 113km (IDC). According to the company, the real-world range
should be closer to 95km. While I did not have sufficient time to verify that
claim, the range still does not feel particularly impressive, especially considering
the modest top speed and the reasonably sized battery pack.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Suspension, Comfort and Braking</h2><p>The C25’s overall ride quality is rather poor. This is
largely down to the new suspension setup, which comprises conventional
telescopic forks at the front and twin springs at the rear.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_06-1769149366893.webp" alt="Chetak_06.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>While the scooter rides reasonably well on smooth tarmac and
can absorb minor imperfections, it becomes unforgiving on rougher city roads. A
short 30-minute ride through Pune was enough to leave me feeling like my insides
had been rearranged. The front forks bottom out over most bumps, with very
little absorption to speak of. This is particularly surprising given that
existing Chetak scooters are known for their cushioned and compliant ride
quality. </p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_12-1769149391641.webp" alt="Chetak_12.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The braking setup consists of a disc brake at the front and
a drum brake at the rear. Braking is fairly progressive and offers good bite
when you use the full travel of the levers. However, braking performance feels inconsistent across different units. Having ridden multiple units of the scooter,
I experienced noticeable variations in braking feel. When the calibration is
right, the scooter stops confidently; when it isn’t, the braking can feel
underwhelming and vague.</p><h2>Bajaj Chetak C25 Price and Review Verdict</h2><p>The C25 is the most affordable Chetak scooter, and it
achieves that position by making substantial compromises in the ride
experience. Yes, it has a certain visual appeal and commendable build quality.
However, when you consider the specifications offered by competing products at
similar price points, it is hard to escape the conclusion that Bajaj has missed
the mark with this one.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Chetak_09-1769149420818.webp" alt="Chetak_09.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Had it been priced ₹10,000 – 15,000 lower, these compromises
would have been far easier to justify. Perhaps Bajaj realised this as well and
has consequently offered the first 10,000 customers a discount of ₹4,299,
bringing the ex-showroom price down to ₹87,100. While this is still higher than
it ought to be, it does represent a move in the right direction.</p>

Bajaj Chetak C25 First Ride Review: Losing the Numbers Game?

The new Bajaj Chetak C25 embraces a back-to-basics philosophy, but in today’s numbers-obsessed EV scooter market, that approach could cost it dearly.

<p>Bajaj has rolled out the 2026 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/pulsar-125/">Pulsar 125</a> in India with a starting price of Rs 89,910 (ex-showroom). The Bajaj Pulsar 125 remains the entry point into the Pulsar family and continues to attract riders who want a sporty commuter without moving into higher engine capacities. For this update, Bajaj has not changed the basics. Instead, the brand has focused on small but useful upgrades that matter in daily riding. The motorcycle is available in two variants, including a split-seat version priced higher. The Pulsar 125 still carries the same road presence that made the name popular, while the latest updates help it stay relevant in a segment that sees constant competition.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/ktm-parent-company-rebranded-to-bajaj-mobility-ag-122722/">KTM Parent Company Rebranded to Bajaj Mobility AG</a></p><h2><strong>2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125: What's New?</strong></h2><p>The highlight of the 2026 update is the move to LED lighting. The Pulsar 125 now gets LED headlamps and LED turn indicators as standard. This replaces the older halogen unit and brings the bike closer to the newer Pulsar models already using full LED setups. For riders who spend time on the road after sunset, this is a change that actually makes sense.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/2026-Bajaj-Pulsar-125-1768978455361.webp" alt="2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj </a>has also refreshed the bike with new colours and updated graphics. Four paint options are on offer for 2026. The design remains familiar, but the new combinations give the Pulsar 125 a cleaner and more current look without touching its original shape.</p><h2><strong>2026 Baka Pulsar 125: Engine</strong></h2><p>Power continues to come from the 124.4cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed gearbox. There are no changes to output figures, making 11.8bhp and 10.8 Nm of peak torque. The motor keeps the same smooth and predictable nature, making it easy to ride in traffic while still offering enough pull for open stretches.</p><p>

Braking duties are handled by a front disc and rear drum setup with a combined braking system as standard. The digital instrument cluster continues to show speed, fuel level, trip data and service alerts. With dispatches already underway, the 2026 Pulsar 125 is now reaching dealerships across India.</p>

2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 Launched at Rs 89,910; Gets New LED Head Lamps and More

2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 gets LED headlamp and LED turn indicators, along with new colours and updated graphics, while continuing with the same engine and hardware setup.

<p>KTM’s parent company has entered a new chapter as Pierer Mobility AG has officially changed its name to Bajaj Mobility AG. This change follows Bajaj Auto completing its full takeover of the group in late 2025.  The new name reflects the ownership structure and sets a clear direction for the group going forward. With Bajaj now fully in control, the focus shifts to how this partnership shapes product plans, racing programmes and global strategy. It also signals a reset at the corporate level, while the core motorcycle brands continue business as usual for riders worldwide.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/bajaj-pulsar-range-gets-discounts-of-up-to-rs-7000-in-india-check-details-122577/">Bajaj Pulsar Range Gets Discounts of up to Rs 7,000 in India; Check Details</a></p><p>The Pierer Mobility name now exits the picture after Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV secured complete ownership of the group. The decision to rename the company was taken in November 2025 and has since been recorded in Austria’s commercial register. With this step complete, the transition from the earlier ownership phase is now formal and visible.</p><p>

Bajaj Auto has positioned the takeover as a step to stabilise operations and bring all brands under a single global structure. The key question now is how this backing supports future motorcycles and motorsport efforts.</p><p>

Around 500 jobs will be cut, mainly in white-collar and middle management roles. This follows an internal restructuring completed in 2025 and is aimed at managing costs and keeping the focus on the core motorcycle business.</p>

KTM Parent Company Rebranded to Bajaj Mobility AG

KTM’s parent company is now Bajaj Mobility AG after Bajaj Auto’s full takeover, marking a new phase for KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS with restructuring underway.

<p>Bajaj Auto has expanded its electric scooter range with the launch of the new Chetak C25 in India. Priced at Rs 91,399 (ex-showroom), the C25 becomes the most accessible model in the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/chetak/">Chetak</a> lineup and sits below the Chetak 35 series. This launch clearly targets riders who want to switch to electric without stretching their budget beyond the Rs 1 lakh mark. The scooter is powered by a 2.5kWh battery and claims an IDC-certified range of 113km, which suits daily city use. Production takes place at Bajaj’s Chakan plant in Pune, and sales will happen through existing Bajaj dealerships across the country. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-rc-160-vs-yamaha-r15-spec-comparison-whats-different-122626/"> KTM RC 160 vs Yamaha R15 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Deliveries are expected to begin shortly as stocks reach showrooms.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Chetak C25: Design</strong></h2><p>In terms of design, the Chetak C25 stays true to the familiar Chetak shape. It carries the same neo-retro look with a horseshoe-style LED headlamp and metal body panels. The overall form remains clean and simple, which many riders already associate with the Chetak name. Buyers can choose from six colour options. The metal body also adds a sense of durability, which is something many scooter riders still value in daily use.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/New-Bajaj-Chetak-C25-1768393788994.webp" alt="New Bajaj Chetak C25.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Features on the Chetak C25 focus on everyday convenience. The scooter comes with a colour LCD instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth connectivity. Riders can access call and SMS alerts, navigation support and music controls using a companion smartphone app. There is also a side-stand sensor that prevents the scooter from moving when parked, adding a layer of safety. Under the seat, the scooter offers 25 litres of storage, enough to fit a full-face helmet along with small items.</p><h2><strong>Bajaj Chetak C25: Powertrain</strong></h2><p>Powertrain details are tuned for city riding. The hub-mounted electric motor delivers 2.2kW of peak power and 18Nm of torque. Top speed is rated at 73km/h, which fits well within urban speed limits. The battery is placed in the floorboard, helping maintain balance across the 107kg kerb weight. </p><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The Chetak C25 enters a busy budget electric scooter segment. It goes up against models like the TVS iQube Orbiter, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/vida/vx2/">Vida VX2</a> and Ola S1X. With its pricing, claimed range and familiar Chetak identity, Bajaj is clearly aiming at first-time electric scooter buyers. </p>

Bajaj Chetak C25 delivers a claimed 113km range with a 2.5kWh battery, plus an LCD display with Bluetooth, navigation support and 25L underseat storage.

The motorcycle is available in three variants, starting with the single disc version priced at Rs 1.09 lakh (ex-showroom), while the twin-disc version costs Rs 1.15 lakh. All variants continue on the same platform and retain the existing mechanical setup. </p><p>This update allows Bajaj to keep the Pulsar 150 on sale while development of next-generation Pulsar models continues. The motorcycle remains positioned as a commuter offering aimed at riders who want higher engine output for everyday use.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/hero-splendor-plus-honda-shine-bajaj-platina-top-5-100cc-bikes-under-rs-80000-in-india-122457/">Hero Splendor Plus, Honda Shine, Bajaj Platina: Top 5 100cc Bikes Under Rs 80,000 in India</a></p><p>The Pulsar 150 continues to use a double cradle frame. Suspension hardware remains unchanged, with telescopic forks at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is handled by a 260mm front disc across all variants. Power comes from a 149.5cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It produces 13.8bhp and 13.4Nm of torque and is paired with a five-speed gearbox. There are no mechanical changes to the engine or transmission. Fuel tank capacity stands at 14 litres, supporting daily commuting requirements.</p><p>The most visible update is the new LED headlamp, now paired with LED turn indicators. Other design elements remain unchanged, including the fuel tank shape, clip-on handlebars, split seat layout and 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres.

<p>Bajaj Auto has taken full control of KTM AG after receiving all regulatory approvals for its €800-million takeover. The final clearance from European authorities closed a process that had been under review for several months. Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV, a fully owned subsidiary, has acquired all shares of Pierer Bajaj AG, the holding company that oversaw KTM and its parent group. With this, Bajaj now owns about 74.9 per cent of Pierer Mobility AG, the company that directly controls KTM AG. This ends the earlier shared-ownership model and places Bajaj in charge of KTM’s decisions, operations, and long-term direction.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-adventure-adventure-x-prices-increased-in-india-heres-what-youll-pay-now-122239/">KTM 390 Adventure, Adventure X Prices Increased in India – Here’s What You’ll Pay Now</a></p><p>Before this deal, Bajaj held only a minority stake in KTM while the Pierer Group managed the company. The takeover shifts full authority to Bajaj, and the restructuring includes new names for the holding companies. Pierer Bajaj AG is now Bajaj Auto International Holdings AG, and Pierer Mobility AG has been renamed Bajaj Mobility AG. These changes reflect the new ownership and Bajaj’s expanded role within the organisation.</p><p>

KTM and Bajaj have worked together since 2007 under a joint development programme in India. Full ownership now allows Bajaj to directly influence product development, manufacturing plans, and global market strategies across KTM’s operations. It also supports Bajaj’s broader strategy in segments where KTM already has a strong global reach.</p><p>The €800-million acquisition was funded through a Bajaj subsidiary and secured all approvals under the European Union’s Foreign Subsidies Act and competition authorities. With the legal process complete, Bajaj has started restructuring KTM’s supervisory and management boards. These changes are designed to align leadership with the new ownership and prepare KTM for its next phase of global growth.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-990-rc-r-unveiled-globally-key-specs-features-and-india-launch-timeline-121952/">KTM 990 RC R Unveiled Globally: Key Specs, Features, and India Launch Timeline</a></p><p>With the Pierer Group exiting completely, Bajaj now controls KTM’s worldwide operations. This includes decisions on motorcycle development, market direction, motorsport programmes, and global expansion. However, Bajaj’s plan to cut overheads by more than 50% has raised concerns around KTM’s MotoGP and other racing activities.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/KTM-MotoGP-Rider-Pedro-Acosta-(1)-1758001801789.webp" alt="KTM MotoGP Rider Pedro Acosta (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>KTM Racing, which operates as a separate legal entity, may face budget reductions or structural changes.
