S1 Pro vs Chetak: range and power against that metal body and service name

Riding around Pune I keep hearing the same argument from Chetak owners at charging points. Their pitch is simple: a scooter built like a tank, Bajaj's dealer network behind it, and a ride quality that feels planted even on broken roads.

I won't pretend my S1 Pro doesn't trail on that build reputation. But the numbers tell a different story on the commute side. Zigwheels lists the S1 Pro's claimed range at 176 km against the Chetak's 131 km, and the power gap is even wider. For someone doing 40 plus km a day like I do, that headroom means fewer charging anxieties and more grunt off the line at every signal.

So where do you actually land? Chetak's solid feel and Bajaj's service trust, or S1 Pro's range and punch with the app ecosystem thrown in? Drop your vote below, and if you've ridden both back to back, I want the real seat-of-pants verdict, not just spec sheets.
