The '''Bajaj Chetak''' is an Indian-made motor [[scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] produced by the [[Bajaj Auto]] company from 1972 to 2006.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2011344373_apasindiawealthandscooters.html|title=Bye bye Bajaj: Sun sets on India's beloved scooter|date=14 March 2010|access-date=29 August 2012|work=The Seattle Times}}</ref> The Chetak is named after [[Chetak (horse)|Chetak]], the legendary horse of Indian warrior [[Maharana Pratap]].

==History==

Originally based on Italian [[Vespa Sprint]], Chetak was an affordable means of transportation for millions of Indian families for decades and is lovingly called ''Hamara Bajaj'' (Our Bajaj).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/society/article65961.ece|title=Bye bye Bajaj|date=16 December 2009 |newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=5 April 2010|location=Chennai, India|first=Anuj|last=Kumar}}</ref>

Around 1980, the Vespa-licensed design was replaced with an all-new in-house design that shared the same general appearance and style. During its heyday its chief competitor was [[LML NV]] made by [[Lohia Machinery Limited|LML India]] as a licensed copy of the [[Vespa PX]] 150. In the face of rising competition from bikes and cars, Chetak lost ground in India, and production was discontinued in 2005 as Bajaj Auto stopped manufacturing scooters altogether.

On 16 October 2019, [[Bajaj Auto]] re-entered the scooter space by unveiling a new electric version of their Chetak scooter under the Urbanite EV sub-brand.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chetak.com/|title=Chetak – A Brand new electric scooter {{!}} The Future of Mobility|website=Bajaj Auto|access-date=2020-01-24}}</ref> The production of the Chetak Electric started on September 25, 2019 at the [[Chakan, Pune|Chakan]] plant of Bajaj Auto.
