Bajaj Chetak Owner's Repair Guide — 5 Issues and Solutions

Bajaj's electric Chetak draws on the iconic petrol model's heritage. Build quality is excellent — most issues are software and charging-side.

This guide is built from real Bajaj Chetak repair cases handled at ev.care's workshops in Delhi (expanding to 30+ Indian cities by 2027). Every step below has been verified by our DIYguru-certified technicians — the same engineers who fix these vehicles for the country's leading EV fleets. If you're stuck on any step, our free 2-hour callback will diagnose it for you.

5 common Bajaj Chetak faults — and how to fix each

1. Chetak refusing to turn on

Step-by-step fix:

1. Side stand sensor — check the stand is fully up.
2. Click sound when pulling stand confirms the sensor.
3. If still off, the fingerprint key may not be paired; use the smart key from your pocket.

2. Range less than the claimed 113km

Step-by-step fix:

1. Real-world 80-95km is typical for Chetak Premium.

3. Charger making clicking noise but not charging

Step-by-step fix:

1. Charger relay misfiring.
2. Try a different wall socket — Bajaj's charger is sensitive to voltage fluctuation common in Indian homes.
3. If still clicking, swap charger (warranty).

When DIY isn't enough — book an ev.care technician for your Bajaj Chetak

If a fault repeats after the steps above, if any dashboard error code is showing, or if you notice any unusual smell, heat, or sound from the battery pack — stop driving. Bajaj Chetak battery and motor faults compound: a minor BMS imbalance left untreated can kill the whole pack inside 6 months.

ev.care dispatches a DIYguru-certified technician to your location with a 2-hour callback. Diagnostic site visit is a flat ₹399, transparent quoted before any work begins. Common Bajaj Chetak repairs are covered under our Annual Care Plan.
