01 / 10Bajaj Chetak electric has been unveiled in India and with this, the company brings back its highly successful Chetak brand after 14 years. The scooter has been showcased in two colour options and the body is devoid of any graphics to maintain the retro appearance. Here is a detailed image gallery of Bajaj's first ever electric scooter for India. Do let us know if you like the styling and design of the Chetak electric or not and your thoughts on will it be able to replicate the same success in India like the original Chetak.
02 / 10In terms of features, Bajaj Chetak electric will get reverse parking assist along with touch sensitive switches for a more premium feel. The scooter gets an IP67 rated lithium ion battery that can be charged easily from a standard 5-15 amp outlet. Moreover, buyers can opt for a home charging station.
03 / 10Bajaj Chetak electric will come with two riding modes namely Eco and Sport. While the Eco mode offers a range of 95 km in a single full charge, the Sport mode enhances the performance and offers 85 km in a single full charge. The e-scooter comes with regenerative braking as well due to which the heat dissipated while braking is converted to kinetic energy, translating in a better range.
04 / 10Bajaj Chetak electric gets alloy wheels and braking duties are taken care of with the help of disc brake up front along with a rear drum brake. The tyres are tubeless and hence, no worries and hassle in case of a puncture. No confirmation as of now if the scooter will get a CBS or ABS.
05 / 10The front end of the Bajaj Chetak electric scooter gets an all-LED headlamp that should offer better illumination than a regular halogen unit. The headlamp section also features circular LED DRL that outlines the circular headlamp. The front apron of the e-scooter gets sleek LED turn indicators with a Chetak badge in the center.
06 / 10Bajaj Chetak electric gets a compartment up front that looks like a glove box. However, there doesn't seem to be having any space inside for keeping your goodies. Instead, the compartment has a mobile charging port, first aid kit and a tool kit. This is a plus point for Bajaj as Chetak electric's prime rival - Ather 450 lacks mobile charging provision.
07 / 10The instrument cluster of the Bajaj Chetak electric has also been revealed and Express Drives managed to get a picture of the cluster when the ignition was ON. The image reveals a lot about the instrument cluster and the unit shows speed, battery level, riding mode, time, range and more along with the usual telltale lights.
08 / 10Bajaj Chetak electric scooter will be launched in India in January 2020 with deliveries expected to commence soon after. The scooter will be launched in India in a phase wise manner. Pune will be the first city to get the Chetak electric followed by Bengaluru. More details to be out in January 2020.
09 / 10The styling of the Bajaj Chetak electric is based on a pure retro theme and from some angles, it looks like a Vespa. The tail end of the scooter features an LED split type tail lamp with a Chetak badging in between. The turn indicators are also integrated within the tail lamp section.
10 / 10Bajaj has not revealed the pricing of the Chetak electric in India but Rajiv Bajaj has hinted that the scooter will be priced in the sub Rs 1.5 lakh bracket. It is the same space where Ather 450 operates that happens to be Chetak electric's prime rival. If you ask us, we are expecting a figure of close to Rs 1.2 lakh.
