The Bajaj Chetak was a popular Indian-made motor scooter
produced by the Bajaj Auto company. The Chetak is named after Chetak, the
legendary horse of Indian warrior Rana Pratap Singh.
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).
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 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 2009.
