Commuters in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar seeking an economical alternative for their daily travel now have an attractive option in the electric two-wheeler market. For individuals with a monthly income of around ₹20,000, rising petrol prices have turned electric mobility into a practical necessity. Lower running expenses and reduced maintenance costs are driving commuters away from fossil fuel vehicles. To cater to this growing demand, Tirhut Bajaj Automobile showroom in Muzaffarpur is offering multiple variants of the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter with flexible purchasing schemes.
Drastic Reduction in Daily Running Expenses
Explaining the financial breakdown, Tirhut Bajaj Automobile Showroom Manager Shakti Kumar highlighted the stark difference between petrol and electric daily operation. A commuter spending approximately ₹100 per day on petrol incurs a total monthly fuel expenditure of around ₹3,000. In contrast, switching to an electric two-wheeler slashes these routine costs significantly. According to him, charging the vehicle requires about 3 units of electricity, which translates to roughly ₹12 per full charge based on rural electricity tariffs. The manufacturer claims that the scooter can cover up to 150 kilometers on a single full charge. However, actual real-world range varies depending on road conditions, riding habits, payload weight, and battery health.
Low Initial Down Payment Financing Starting at ₹9,999
To assist buyers with budget constraints and salaried individuals earning roughly ₹20,000 per month, the dealership has made finance options readily accessible. Customers can initiate their purchase with an initial down payment starting at just ₹9,999. The dealership notes that the final down payment amount, Equated Monthly Installment (EMI), applicable interest rates, and loan terms will depend on the buyer's credit eligibility and the specific model selected.
Multiple Variants and Key Pre-Purchase Checks
The Bajaj Chetak electric scooter lineup available at the Muzaffarpur showroom spans several variants, priced between approximately ₹1.03 lakh and ₹1.60 lakh. For commuters traveling long distances daily for office work or local errands, the electric scooter offers a viable long-term solution. Buyers are advised to thoroughly verify essential details at the showroom prior to purchasing, including total on-road pricing, applicable government subsidies, battery warranty conditions, charging duration, practical range, and EMI breakdowns.
