Styling - No Not A Vespa
Bajaj Chetak is an electric retro-styling scooter, which looks quite attractive. To give the feel of the iconic Chetak scooter, the company has considered it better to launch it in retro-styling like Chetak instead of completely new styling. Curvy bodywork, multi-spoke wheels, and contoured seat work make the design look great. It may be said that the original Chetak scooter was based on the Vespa Sprint, so the styling of the electric Chetak is inspired by the modern Vespa scooters.
Urban And Premium scooter
Chetak Electric will be a premium product. It has superb switchgear, full-LED lighting, and a digital console. Bajaj Auto has used high-quality the material in places like mirrors, side stands, and footpegs of this electric scooter. It will also be one of the few scooters sold in the country that comes with a metal body. The contrast stitching on the scooter's seat gives it a premium feel. The joints on the body panels of Chetak Electric are rarely seen and the entire back of it looks like just one unit. Due to this, the manufacturing cost of the scooter will be slightly increased, but due to these, Chetak seems quite premium. |
