Bajaj Chetak's bookings resume in Pune and Bengaluru
Bajaj Auto has commenced bookings for its Chetak e-scooter in Pune and Bengaluru. Reservations for the scooter were closed in the two cities in April this year when it went out of stock. The company plans to sell the two-wheeler in 22 new cities by 2022. The Chetak was recently launched in Nagpur, while its bookings are underway in Mysuru, Aurangabad, and Mangaluru.
It has an oval headlight and a digital instrument console
The Bajaj Chetak sits on a steel frame and features an indicator-mounted front apron, an oval-shaped headlight, a flat footboard, a single-piece flat-type seat with a storage compartment underneath, and a pillion grab rail. It also offers a glove box, a digital instrument panel, touch sensitive switches, and an all-LED lighting system. It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels.
The vehicle delivers a range of 95km
The Bajaj Chetak is powered by a 3.8kW motor and a non-removable, IP67-rated 3kWh battery pack. The powertrain produces 16Nm of peak torque, offers a top-speed of 70km/h and a range of 95km in Eco mode.
Combined braking system is offered for safety
For the rider's safety, the Bajaj Chetak is equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear, along with combined braking system for improved handling. Suspension duties on the two-wheeler are taken care of by leading-link system on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
