David Pieris E-Mobility (Private) Limited, a subsidiary of the David Pieris Group of Companies, proudly announces the launch of the Bajaj Chetak, marking the revival of one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic scooter brands, now transformed for the electric era.
First introduced in 1978, the Bajaj Chetak quickly became a household name, earning the trust and loyalty of generations of riders across Sri Lanka. Even during periods dominated by Japanese motorcycles, Chetak maintained strong demand, underscoring its reliability and deep emotional connection with Sri Lankan consumers. With a legacy spanning 47 years, Chetak now returns, carrying forward the same trust and durability, enhanced with advanced electric mobility technology.
Designed for modern urban commuting, the Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooter is powered by a 3.1 kW hub motor coupled with a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, providing an impressive IDC range of up to 151 km per charge. The scooter offers a top speed of 63 km/h, balancing performance, efficiency, and everyday practicality.
Built on a robust steel unibody construction, the Chetak stands out in its segment by offering superior ride quality and long-term durability. It also features the largest under-seat storage capacity in its class at 35 litres, making it an ideal choice for daily commuting and urban lifestyles.
Competing strongly against key market players, the Bajaj Chetak delivers a superior riding range and a higher power rating than several alternatives. The scooter is equipped with a suite of premium features, including a full digital display, Bluetooth-enabled app connectivity, Eco and Sports riding modes, Hill Hold Assist with reverse, and music and call notifications, ensuring a truly connected and comfortable riding experience.
Prior to the launch, the company established dedicated facilities, including testing equipment, diagnostic scanners, trained technicians, and spare parts, across nearly 2,000 DPMC islandwide touchpoints, covering sales, service, and spare parts, ensuring unmatched accessibility and customer support.
David Pieris E-Mobility has already tested the Bajaj Chetak across all terrains in Sri Lanka for over 20,000 kilometres, successfully validating its quality, durability, and performance ahead of the launch.
Customer confidence is further enhanced by the David Pieris Group’s extensive nationwide after-sales and service network, reinforcing the Group’s long-standing commitment to reliability and customer care. The Bajaj Chetak is supported by Sri Lanka’s first 24/7 roadside assistance for two-wheelers, providing unmatched peace of mind for electric vehicle users.
Customers can contact the David Pieris E-Mobility hotline at 011 470 0550, while 24/7 roadside assistance is available via 011 4 700 551.
