The top speed of the new 2024 Bajaj Chetak Premium has increased from 63 km/h to 73 km/h. This improvement is welcomed by most riders, but there is a debate going on whether this speed is enough for Indian road condition, especially in urban areas with different traffic patterns and on connecting highways. While others suggest that 73 km/h is too slow for city commuters and short intercity trips, the speed profile represents a good compromise among performance and safety. Others argue that a top speed higher than 25 mph is needed to maintain flow with traffic on faster roads and certainly to make overtaking maneuvers more confidently. It also discusses how this top speed stacks up against the petrol scooters in that same category and whether it makes the Chetak any less practical for a more varied set of use cases beyond the urban commute.
