Bajaj Sets January 14 Launch for New Chetak EV After Design Teaser

A teaser hints at a lower-cost, city-focused redesign, with pricing and specifications to be disclosed at launch.

Overview

  • An official teaser shows a new horizontal LED tail-light with integrated indicators and Chetak branding at the rear.
  • Reporting indicates the scooter will sit below the current Chetak range as a more affordable entry point rather than replace existing models.
  • Final pricing is unconfirmed, with early media estimates suggesting roughly ₹80,000–₹90,000 ex-showroom.
  • Recent spy sightings point to a smaller, simpler, city-oriented design that may use lighter body materials, while battery and motor details remain unannounced.
  • The model is positioned to challenge family-format e-scooters like TVS iQube and Orbiter, Ola S1, Ather Rizta and Vida VX2, leveraging Chetak’s reported 2025 tally of just under 2.70 lakh units and about 21% market share.
