    I used to steal my father's Chetak and along the way it used to die. Then, I, like every uncle, used to tilt it for petrol to come to the carb. What an experience was it when we did not need to wheelie as it used to do it on its own even on the stand.😅

      i already have purchased the ola s1 pro gen 2 but i keep coming back because your content is addicting. It would be great if you would do a review on the s1 pro gen 2 as there have been huge changes and the overhaul is massive so worth giving it another go. Also im 18 so dont have the years of experience nor have i tried as many scooters, so it would be great if you could shed some light on the driving dynamics of the scooter.
      Amazing content as usual, look forward for more

      I think no other 2 wheeler was as all metal as chetak. In later models the nose was plastic, but the weight of the scooter made it grounded like no other. Hamara Bajaj was the most successful ad line till date. 😊

    My dad had a Chetak 12v 1988 built. He bought it when he started his first job. The scooter had a little aftermarket seat that he got for me. My own little seat. He made space for me on that sooter. He took me to school on it. I remember being 5 years old and playing in our rented home when the neighbors kid pushed me down in the driveway and i whacked my head, i dont remember being hurt. I do remember seeing him pull up, see me, get off that scooter in one slick move, pick me up, mount back on that scooter and take me to the doctor. He taught me to be brave while telling me all those great stories. He took mom out on little dates, me in tow later on with that little seat. His moustache always sharp. His reflexes panther like. I heard once that a cat hissed at my mom and my dad actually grabbed it by the scruff before the cat could register what happened to it.
    We eventually got a car, dad got promoted, was allocated a car by the office. The Chetak eventually had to be scrapped.
    Last year when I was buying a bike, me at 32 took my father along.... for advice. We went to a KTM showroom. I was looking around talking to the sales people and then i noticed, my father looking over a blue chetak EV. He is a practical man. I think i caught the smallest look of loving effection in his eye.
    We got out and drove off in my car. His moustache has remained sharp. Our family grew up.. and chetak made space for us. The thing is Chetak was the perfect work horse for our family. It served us, did more than it was designed to, got us out a tight spots, ran faster than it was supposed to and was there during our biggest struggles. It got my dad through a lot. Through all his battles.
    Reminds me of a Rana and a horse named Chetak.
    One is not complete without the other. Whether Chetak made Rana or Rana made Chetak, im not wise enough to know.
    The lore however lives on.

    I'm riding Chetak for almost a year on the same Pune's roads, and the overall experience is so calm, soft and comfortable as Shumi said. The simple detailing which (Bajaj) Chetak has achieved is really commendable and enhances the experience of riding the scooter. While riding it sets you in a different zone unless you're not riding in Hinjewadi traffic 🥲.
    Overall Chetak is like a good boy in the family that listens to everyone !
    As usual great episode though :)

    Present teacher ! the professors on a roll! classes after classes …. What a smashing start to the year . Keep em coming ! This is awesome!
    FYI for a cold start , the Chetak had to be tilted in order to trickle the fuel back to the engine . This was because of the eccentric placement of the engine of the Chetak,and the tank in the centre , the fuel supply used to get cut off once parked.

      If it wasn't a side-mounted power plant, it wouldn't be Italian enough. E.g. If it didn't have a starting handle, it wouldn't be Ambassador enough, or if it started first kick, it wouldn't be Bullet enough.. etc. It's emotional engineering.

    The 100km range being the Golden Sweet Spot is correct, but the way I look at it is that the vehicle should be capable of 100km range after 4 years (consider the battery degradation) and based on that a new EV True Range to be determined

    Yeah correct. The Chetak had an IMU decades ago when the Indians weren't really health conscious. The handlebars had sensors that detected your strength levels based on which it modulated the amount of fuel to be pumped on first start. This clubbed with lean angle sensors determined how much you need to tilt the vehicle for a kick start and build your muscles. Too bad we didn't have smart phones then to track our progress 😂 The new chetak has implemented this as an Easter egg. Do try!

My two cents is...there will be no free lunches...a company and a promotor who makes profits only will survive...rest is just the flavour of the season! VC backed businesses with futuristic profit plans will remain in future only which will never become the present!! Only the ICE guys can succeed at the EV bit too...

    As owner of 2023 Bajaj Chetak ev , I can say that it's the least complicated ev and very easy to use once you get to use button . The stock mrf tyres are less grippy,so I switched to Michelin city pro , which are good grip in gravel,muddy and wet surfaces . The charging time is under 3 hr considering charging starts at 20 % to full .Its main ups are in city commutes as in low speeds it's handles best ,after 50 I feel all might metal weight. The real range i got is 75- 85 km but my father used to drive below 30 where he gets 90 + km range . There is advantage of metal body as i usually like to ride on the highway at 55-65 km but a strong headwind is something frustrating if tailwind then it's boom . I find onboard charger a very handy and practical approach . I purchased Chetak as my father used to own Bajaj Priya and he misses having an all metal body 2 wheeler.

    The bs6 sensor smart vehicles.
    By incorporating more sensors than Mandatory ones like for side stand they are creating a dependency to go back to the product manufacturers for service every time.
    😢 In case where a failure of a single sensor affects the functioning or movement of vehicle from some point.

    Since the new top speed is thanks to changes to gearing ratios, how is it different for the base, non-techpak version of the Chetak Chetak? Would the techpak upgrade at a later date warrant a trip to the service centre if the lower top speed is a hardware limitation?

    • @motorinc

    19:42 , completely share the same view. the scooter should have been packed with more performance specially when it comes to the top speed where the competition is providing 100+ this could have done with just hitting the triple digit mark of 100. I don't know why this issue isn't raised at large, but if this scooter gets a higher top speed, will definately buy it!!. One of the edges of electric scooters over the ice powered ones are there top speeds.

    Shumi I noticed the charging socket is under the seat. So does it mean we’ll have to open the seat all the time to charge. The showroom ppl says we can charge by keeping the seat closed, yet will there be any chance for the water to go in during rain. Cos I’ve keep my bike out!!
    Also did you get any information on the cost of battery pack and its life on a general use? Showroom ppl aren’t aware of it and are giving vague answers like they’re assuming somewhere around 70k and 7 years. Not sure how true is this. Please help on this

    • @motorinc
      @motorinc  3 місяці тому

      No it closes over the wire and secures it in place int the process. Warranty information is clear online and 7 years is a reasonable assumption based on what we know - we don't know that there is an official figure from Chetak itself.

    A like from me. However it is not clear to me - does it have a gearbox? How many charging cycles can the battery pack handle before it goes down to 70% of the original range? How much a new battery pack would cost? Will they increase the cost of battery pack every year? Will the increase the cost of tekpack after 5 years like pacemaker batteries? What is the service cost? When are they planning to discontinue these format of power pack rendering my scooter to a junk? What is the price of the ECU? Are spares and batteries available?

    I just wanna put a note here, that Chetak's image and videos do it injustice. I only saw it in real life very recently as it arrived late in my city, and it has great road presence, the paint job is immaculate and it looks like a really premium vehicle especially from the backside.
