About the Bajaj Chetak
Overview
The Bajaj Chetak is a scooter from Bajaj Auto. It was launched in 1972 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Scooters are made for easy city riding: automatic, step-through and usually with storage under the seat. With a 145 cc engine it sits in the larger, 150 cc-plus scooter class.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 145 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 7.6 PS at 5,500 rpm and 10.8 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 3,500 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 74 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. It has kick start only.
Gearbox
It has a 4-speed manual gearbox.
Chassis, brakes and tyres
At the front, the suspension is variable rate coil spring & double acting shock absorber. At the rear, it is variable rate coil spring & double acting shock absorber. It rides on 10-inch wheels, 3.50 x 10 - 4PR at both ends.
Size, comfort and range
It weighs 103 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 135 mm — low, so take speed breakers and steep ramps slowly. It is 1,770 mm long, with 1,230 mm between the axles. It carries 6.0 L of fuel.
Owning one
For the Bajaj Chetak, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.
Who it suits

Maintaining the Bajaj Chetak
Routine servicing
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil & filter
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
Brake inspection
Check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
CVT belt & variator
Automatic scooters transmit power through a belt and variator. Listen for slipping or judder, and have them inspected as part of regular servicing.
Air filter & spark plug
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Tyre inspection
This bike runs 3.50 x 10 - 4PR tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Battery & electricals
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
