Rs 8k Price Cut With Chetak
A recent report suggests that Bajaj Chetak scooter range is set to receive a major rejig in the coming months. This update will ensure that there are significant changes to battery cells inside the pack, unlocking more range on a single charge than before. Battery capacity, however, will remain the same.
The variant names of Chetak scooters, Urbane and Premium, will reportedly get a reboot to 3202 and 3201, respectively. Similar to what we saw with the Chetak 2901 Edition. Apart from this rejig in names and battery cells, there is a significant price cut expected too. Speculations suggest a Rs 8,000 slashed off the current Ex-sh prices.
