Featuring a host of innovative features, the Bajaj Urbanite electric scooter is expected to resurrect the long-gone Chetak scooter though now having an electric powertrain. Expected to be christened as Bajaj Chetak electric, the upcoming e-scooter will feature an overall LED lighting setup with Bluetooth connectivity in addition to getting various AI features. Taking the styling cues from the Vespa, the front apron of the e-scooter has been offered the same design language. The retro styling of the scooter will be further complemented by the multi-spoke alloy wheels and chrome rearview mirrors. Once launched in India, the Bajaj Urbanite scooter will compete in the market with the likes of Ather 450. One can expect the brand to price the upcoming electric scooter competitively at around INR 1 lakh (ex-showroom).
