The Bajaj Chetak was an Indian-made motor scooter that was highly influential in setting modern India on wheels. It was produced by the Bajaj Auto company.
The Chetak is named after Chetak, the legendary horse of Indian warrior Rana Pratap Singh.
Originally based on the Italian Vespa, the Chetak was the only choice for millions of Indian families as an affordable way of transport for decades. Around 1980, the Italian-licensed design was replaced with an all new in-house design that shared the same general appearance and style.
In the face of new modern competition, the Chetak lost ground in India.
