Suzuki e-Access Vs Bajaj Chetak 2901: Which Electric Scooter Is Better In 2025?
Last Updated: In this detailed article, we have done a comparison that will help you to decide which one fits your lifestyle better. Amid the ongoing growing demand for electric scooters, manufacturers have started investing more effort in the segment than ever. As the Indian market is heating up, two models have sparked quite the debate — Suzuki e-Access and Bajaj Chetak 2901. Both vehicles are excellent in their own right, ensuring urban commuters will enjoy eco-friendly performance, brand trust, and everyday practicality. But if you are someone who is stuck choosing between these two, do not worry, we have got your back. In this detailed article, we have done a comparison that will help you to decide which one fits your lifestyle better. Design And Looks Suzuki e-Access carries forward the classic look of the original Access 125, but with a futuristic EV twist. It's familiar, yet modern, which works great for users who prefer conventional styling. On the other hand, the Bajaj Chetak 2901 is all about retro-modern elegance. With its all-metal body, sleek curves, and premium finish, it feels more upmarket. Bajaj has stuck to its retro roots and added a layer of sophistication that stands out on city streets. Battery and Range Suzuki e-Access comes with a 3.07 kWh battery, offering a claimed range of around 90-100 km on a single charge. It's peppy, practical, and built for daily commuting. The top speed is around 75 km/h, and it gets decent torque for urban rides. Bajaj Chetak 2901 features a 2.88 kWh battery and claims a range of 123 km (IDC). However, the real-world range is expected to be around 90–100 km, similar to e-Access. Top speed is limited to 63 km/h, which is on the slower side. Bajaj Chetak 2901 comes at the starting price of Rs 95,998 (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable electric scooters with a metal body in India. The Suzuki e-Access price range has not been revealed yet. But reports suggested that it might fall under Rs 1.05 to Rs 1.10 lakh. Verdict After having a deep dive in terms of design, battery, and range, the Bajaj Chetak 2901 seems like a wise yet compelling choice in the market. It can be considered as an ideal option for new EV users within a budget range.

Bajaj Chetak 3001 vs rivals: Can it beat TVS iQube, Vida V2 Plus, Ather Rizta
The Bajaj Chetak 3001 has been recently introduced as a lower-cost version of the popular electric scooter. Starting at ₹99,990, ex-showroom, the model becomes the new starting point in the Chetak range and will find favor with budget-conscious urban buyers. With its launch, Bajaj is taking on better-established brands like TVS, Ather, Vida, Honda and soon-to-be-launched Japanese player the Suzuki e-Access in an extremely competitive segment. Here's a comparison of how the Chetak 3001 stacks up against competition in terms of battery capacity, range, charging time, features, and price. ₹ 1.1 - 1.49 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 94,434 - 1.59 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 74,000 - 1.2 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 99,990 - 1.46 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.49 - 1.79 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.7 - 1.74 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon The Bajaj Chetak 3001 is equipped with a 3kWh battery pack, placing it between the base 2.2kWh model of the TVS iQube and the bigger 3.5kWh models. It has a claimed IDC range of 127 km, just behind the Ather Rizta S's 123km-claimed range for its 2.9 kWh battery pack and ahead of the Vida V2 Plus with 143km and TVS iQube 3.5 with 145 km claimed range. Against the next Suzuki e-Access, which boasts a 3kWh battery but provides just 95km of range using lower energy-density LFP cells, the Chetak comes out better. The Honda QC1, with its minuscule 1.5kWh battery and 80km claimed range, languishes far behind, although at a lower cost. The Chetak 3001 was equipped with a 750W charger, which allows it to charge from 0–80 per cent in 3 hours and 50 minutes. It may not be fast-charge capable, but its charge time is faster than most of the entry-level options. For example, the Ather Rizta S, which is positioned higher, takes 6 hours and 30 minutes to hit 80 per cent charge with its standard charger. However, both the Ather and Vida models use the Ather Grid to make fast-charge compatible, which is fantastic for quick top-ups when commuting is urgent. The TVS iQube 2.2kWh has the fastest standard charge time at 2 hours and 45 minutes. Its 3.5kWh sibling and the Suzuki e-Access need approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes, but Suzuki is claiming just 1 hour and 12 minutes charging on its fast charger, which could give it an advantage down the road. At ₹99,990, the Bajaj Chetak 3001 is fairly priced, undercutting some rivals and offering better value than others. Though the Vida V2 Plus leads with a highly discounted ₹85,300 price point, this is probably valid only for a short while. The Honda QC1, at ₹90,000, is reasonably priced but lacks in range and battery size. On the pricier side, the TVS iQube 3.5 is priced at ₹1.31 lakh, and the Ather Rizta S at ₹1.10 lakh—apart from another ₹14,000 for Ather's Pro Pack, which activates core features. The TVS iQube 2.2 is priced at ₹1 lakh, positioning it almost on the same price point as the Chetak.
