Bajaj Chetak electric scooter becomes costlier in India yet again – EQ Mag Pro
Bajaj Auto has raised the price of the Premium variant of its Chetak electric scooter in India. After the latest price revision, the model has become costlier by Rs. 12,749.
The vehicle has a retro-inspired design, several tech-based features, and is backed by an electric powertrain. It delivers up to 95km of range.
Notably, the Urbane variant is no longer on sale.
Bajaj Chetak is one of India’s most famous electric scooters, having retailed 14,000 units since its debut here in 2019. The brand is also sitting on order books of over 16,000 units.
