The electric scooter will be part of its new electric sub-brand called Urbanite

[Update: Bajaj’s All-new Chetak Is Here In Electric Form!]

The e-scooter was spotted testing on the streets of Pune.
It sports a retro design, kind of similar to larger Vespas available abroad.
Bajaj might try to revive the Chetak moniker with the new e-scooter.

Bajaj To Bring Its First Electric Scooter On October 16 highlights

Bajaj Auto is all geared up to showcase its first electric offering, which might just be called the e-Chetak, on October 16. The new e-scooter, which will be a part of Bajaj’s new Urbanite sub-brand, will take on the Ather 450. We expect it to go on sale by early 2020, if not earlier.

Spy images of the upcoming e-scooter suggest that it will sport a neo-retro design reminiscent of large capacity Vespas that are found abroad. Much like the original Chetak, this e-scooter too will have a single-sided front fork.

Aside from this, the e-scooter will get premium features such as LED lighting all around, Bluetooth connectivity and several AI (artificial intelligence) features. When we had seen the e-scooter roaming on the streets of Pune, it was being tested alongside the Ather 450 as it is going to be the e-Chetak’s main rival.

Expect the new e-scooter to be priced a smidge over Rs 1 lakh (on-road) as Bajaj will look to undercut Ather’s popular e-scooter by a significant margin. More details to follow soon.

srinibas | 7 years ago Electric vehicles wil not get popularity in India. As it has a limitation in speed and mileage. Moreover its battery price is so high. Battery life is only 2.5 years. After that u will have a deep hole in the pocket exchanging it. When the scooter will be unused for some days the battery will not function properly. With frequent power cuts the battery may not be charged fully to attain required mileage everyday. People living in apartments will have difficulty in charging the scooter. Even if there will be charging facilty in the parking lot people may play prank by disconnecting it. ...Read More 0 Reply

TheRealSD | 7 years ago @Bhaskar Sir, the price of an EV scooter with the current battery and manufacturing tech may not be comparable to it's counterpart having an engine. Hence the OEM's cannot bring the price down so as to incur loss. They can only slightly lower/match the price of existing EVs. Hence, they are still in their initial stage. ...Read More 0 Reply
