Was taking the front brake off the Chetak 4-stroke a step backwards for safety?
Just like many scooters of its era, the original Bajaj Chetak had both front and rear brakes. But when Bajaj introduced the 4 stroke version, they decided to be controversial and took the front brake off some of the models. Apparently, this design choice was made because it was thought that front brakes could be dangerous if used incorrectly and could flip the scooter forward. The removal of the front brake generated a discussion about safety, rider control and the balance between traditional design and modern safety standards. A few riders said the scooter's lack of a front brake meant it lacked stopping power and safety, while others said that the rear brake was sufficient for the scooter's use in an urban environment.
Removing the front brake was nuts! That’s like selling a car with only rear brakes. Safety first, people!
