The iconic Bajaj Chetak brand name is being rumoured
to make a comeback. Patent images of its body parts have surfaced online,
courtesy of MotorOctane.
The patent images, if they are of an upcoming Bajaj
Chetak model, reveal a retro-modern look inspired by Vespa. This will make the
scooter a premium offering helping Bajaj rake in better returns. The absence of
disc brake, at least in the front, is a surprise but there is a possibility
that it will be offered as an option.
Unlike the Bajaj chetak of the yesteryears, the new
Chetak will have an automatic gearbox. Powertrain details too are scarce and
considering the competition, it would not be a huge surprise if Bajaj offers
the Chetak with a 125 cc mill.
The Bajaj Chetak, if a reality, can be expected to
make a comeback in 2018.
