Unlike the standard scooter, the C2501 forms a new sub-family under the Chetak umbrella

It retains core metal body panels & classic styling cues, giving it a premium feel despite the lower price

The front apron looks clean and chic, though the side graphics may not appeal to everyone

It rides on a new frame & a shorter wheelbase, making it more compact & city-friendly

At just 107kg with a 763mm seat height, it feels unintimidating & extremely easy to manoeuvre

Underseat storage is 25 litres, but the deep bay can still accommodate a full-face helmet

The 2.5kWh battery offers a claimed 113km IDC range, with realistic figures of 95km in Eco & 90km in Sport

Charging takes 2.5 hours for 0-80 percent & roughly 4 hours for a full charge

Eco mode delivers smooth, linear acceleration that feels adequate for daily city traffic

Opting for the TecPac unlocks Sport mode, sharper throttle response & an indicated 60kmph top speed

Handling is nimble and predictable, though the suspension setup feels slightly firm over broken roads

Overall, the C2501 focuses on practicality, comfort, & affordability - making it a sensible first electric scooter
