Extending the range of similarities, the affordable 3505 variant gets 35 litres of seat storage. Even with all of this, the scooter is different as the top speed is limited to 63 kmph. The affordable price tag of the electric scooter comes at a cost of a few features. However, it still has a feature list aimed at fulfilling owners' requirements. The list includes hill hold assist, a colour LCD cluster with Bluetooth and music control, call management, ride modes (Eco & Sports), along with LED headlights and more. To reach this price level, certain features have been eliminated, such as sequential turn indicators and front disc brakes, and it has a slightly longer charging time (0-80% in 3 hours and 25 minutes). Being part of the 35 Series, it benefits from the updated chassis, which includes 35 liters of under-seat storage, and it also features Chetak's signature metal body.
