All these models are the top players in the Indian 2-wheeler EV market. All these scooters offer a plethora of features better than the other. However, the Bajaj Chetak which is launched today took over the game with its futuristic features, fabulous design, packed with advanced technology, and safety features with an all-new touchscreen instrumentation. Furthermore, the Chetak secured the top spot as the best-selling scooter in the first half of December. However, what excites us most is whether the Chetak will be able to maintain its lead and remain the dominant player in the electric two-wheeler market in India.
