If you face such a condition in the future or have faced it, it is a compromise with the safety and performance of your Chetak EV.
Whatever I am guiding you in this blog is based on my personal experience with my Bajaj Chetak EV and whatever I learnt from experts at service stations.
Based on my experience, I will try to tell you in this blog the causes and subsequent solutions.
If you read this blog, it will be beneficial. You will have a prior idea of the cause and the solution in case this condition occurs.
Noise identification
Based on the identification of the noise, you will get an effective solution.
1. Screeching noise
If you are facing the screeching noise in your Bajaj Chetak EV, it is linked to your braking system. I faced the same type of noise once in the past.
When I asked for the cause, the experts at the service station pointed towards the braking system.
They checked the brake pads but unfortunately, I had no other option but to replace them.
If you are facing the same type of sound, you will have to get the brake discs inspected for any damage or warping.
The level of such noise conditions in Bajaj Chetak EV varies. You may have to replace or adjust the components as per the expert guidance.
When the braking works smoothly, this noise will end and you can drive fearless.
2. Clicking noise
At the service station of Bajaj company, the expert told me that if I hear the clicking sound shortly, it could be because of suspension or because of the loose components.
For the solution, the expert will inspect the suspension components for damage and wear. This will include the shock absorbers and bushings.
For reducing vibrations, you will also have to check the mirrors, handlebars and body panels.
Check that all these components are safely fastened. You also need to tighten fasteners and loose bolts.
3. Grinding noise
If you are facing a grinding noise, it could be a problem in gears and bearings.
For the proper solution, you need to get the bearings inspected for any kind of wear. You may have to replace it depending on what the expert says.
For misalignment or damage, the expert at the service station will inspect the gears.
Make sure that you have the proper lubrication of moving parts to protect you from any additional damage.
4. Whining noise
As per my talk to the service manager at the service station of Bajaj company, if you are facing a whining sound, it could be because of the drivetrain or motor-related problems.
For the proper tension or alignment, you need to get the drive chain and belt inspected by an expert. For the tightness, the concerned person will check the motor mounts.
You will also have to see if there is any problem with the transmission components.
Do the visual inspection
Based on my experience, I advise you to do a visual inspection to tackle the noise issues of your Bajaj Chetak EV.
Make sure that the panels are safely fastened. If the panels are loose, they will vibrate leading to noise.
1. Have a test ride
Based on what I faced in the past because of the noise issues in my Bajaj Chetak EV, I humbly advise you to take a test ride.
Note the type of noise during the acceleration, particular speeds and braking. Also, check the noise change at different road conditions and surfaces.
2. Check the electrical parts
If the electrical components in your Bajaj Chetak EV are faulty, it could lead to unusual noises.
Based on my experience in this area, I advise you to check the electrical connections. See that they are corrosion-free and safe.
To rectify rectified in case of an issue, consult the service station executive.
See that the battery terminals are tight. If the battery does not hold a charge and is old, replace it.
