River Indie vs Bajaj Chetak Comparison

River, a new Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup, took the wraps off its first electric two-wheeler the River Indie Scooter. River positions it as the SUV of electric scooters, focussing on lifestyle and utility. The scooter is priced at Rs. 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru) and pre-bookings for the scooter have begun. Deliveries will begin in August 2023. The River Indie holds a lot of promise and seems ready to take on established rivals such as the Ola S1, Ather 450X and the likes of the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.

The Chetak certainly is a fitting tribute to a legendary name from Bajaj. In electric form, it's quite a likeable scooter, and it comes across as a well-built, well-finished scooter with all the features and gizmos associated with a new-age electric scooter. The only drawback for now, is its availability, but that's something which is likely to change over the next year or so. Its design is its biggest strength, coupled with its easy rideability
