New Bajaj Chetak Details
Bajaj Chetak has taken over the space of electric 2 wheelers surpassing all the other rivals in sales over and over again in the past few months and came up on top of the food chain. It has a lot to do with the Chetak moniker and the sweet mix of reasonable price point for the overall package. In the same line of action, a new Chetak electric is in works that has been spotted in white and black camo while testing. By the looks of it, the scooter is typical Bajaj styling with rounded headlamps, chunky rear section but the floorboard is somewhat cramped up, hinting at its lower position in the hierarchy.
This scooter is equipped with a front disc brake and dual rear shock absorbers, ensuring a balanced ride, while 12-inch wheels provide stability. A practical front apron hook is included for carrying small items. Distinguishing it from the Chetak, it features a single-pod tail light, and subtle design enhancements like oval mirrors and fork covers contribute to a more refined aesthetic.

Battery And Range Details
While there is no credible information about the battery or the electric motor specifications, it is expected to feature a hub-mounted motor and could offer a range of 100 km on a single charge. Other than this, it could have a top-speed of around 70 kmph, particularly aimed at city riding only.
Talking about pricing, it is expected that Bajaj is now aiming at the section of buyers that are on a tighter budget, hoping to score big in number, keeping in mind that the Chetak series took off pretty well. I expect it to be priced somewhere around Rs. 80k- 85k, that will ultimately aid its mass adoption.
Verdict
The future of the EV 2 Wheelers looks very promising with some. really solid players and now, tons of options to choose from. The new scooter can rake in more numbers if the range and price can be optimised for the new buyers looking to make their shift to EVs and the one after the other Ola Electric fiasco with piles of compalints at one point back in time, is a little too much for them to handle. As for other relatively new rival brands, they will have to step up their game as the legacy players are starting to catch up, especially with their dense brick and mortar network.
