The new Chetak is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic scooter that was sold in the country between 1972 and 2006. Apart from a modern all-electric powertrain, the new Chetak gets a complete overhaul in terms of design. Keeping up with today's trends, the scooter features LED lights, a start-stop button, keyless ignition, a USB port and a feature-rich digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.

Dealer sources suggest that the scooter is set to hit dealerships in Pune by the end of November 2019. This will be followed by showrooms in Bengaluru. Bajaj is expected to commence bookings before the end of the month. The homegrown two-wheeler manufacturer intends to peg the Chetak as a premium scooter and sell it via KTM dealerships. It’s expected to be priced around Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom), which will help it undercut its primary rival, the Ather 450.
