Next-Gen Bajaj Chetak Spied Testing With Hub-Mounted Motor, Revised Tail

Official specifications and launch timing remain undisclosed as testing moves to public roads.

Overview

  • Multiple Indian auto outlets published first images of a next-generation Chetak prototype, crediting enthusiast Sai for the sightings.
  • The scooter retains its familiar silhouette but adds a reworked tail with a single-piece LED unit combining brake and indicators, a new tyre hugger, and handlebar-mounted front turn signals.
  • The test mule uses a hub-mounted rear motor and appears to keep a floorboard-positioned battery pack similar to the current model.
  • Equipment suggests a mid-level variant, with a front disc and a basic LCD cluster but no keyless start or TFT, alongside updated switchgear.
  • Reports speculate a 3.0–3.5 kWh battery with roughly 150 km claimed range and a possible launch next year or in 2026, which Bajaj has not confirmed.
