This historic achievement was the culmination of the Chetak Electric Scooter’s rigorous “High Altitude Endurance Test.” The expedition was designed to push the boundaries of the electric scooter’s capabilities, proving its reliability and performance even in the most extreme and unforgiving terrains.
The journey was a true test of endurance, navigating Nepal’s notoriously challenging roads, which are characterized by steep climbs, oxygen-deprived high altitudes, and cold weather. Despite these formidable obstacles, the Chetak Electric performed flawlessly, demonstrating its robust engineering and “Lifeproof” design.
This journey has not only set a new benchmark for electric vehicles in the country but has also cemented the Chetak’s reputation as a vehicle built to withstand Nepal’s unique and demanding geography.
Abhimanyu Golchha, Director of Golchha Group, shared his enthusiasm for the achievement. “Reaching Korala isn’t just a test of altitude; it’s a proof of reliability,” he stated. “The Chetak EV has reached a place no electric scooter has reached before. This achievement reaffirms our commitment to providing ‘lifeproof’ mobility solutions specifically designed for Nepal’s unique and challenging landscape.”

The Chetak 3501 is powered by a 3.5 kW battery mounted on the floorboard. It takes about 4 hours to charge from 0 to 80 %. Once fully charged, the scooter can travel up to 127 km, as per the company. It also offers 35 liters of under-seat storage.
The scooter comes with several modern features. These include an LCD console, music control, hill hold assist, reverse light, guide-me-home lamp, and smartphone connectivity.
This daring and successful expedition has solidified the Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooter’s position as Nepal’s most reliable and capable electric two-wheeler.
With its ability to conquer the high-altitude frontier, the Chetak is not just a mode of transport; it’s a symbol of a new era of sustainable and dependable mobility in the Himalayas.
