Electric Bajaj Bike Development Confirmed! Here’s What Bajaj’s Executive Director Says
From daily commuters to performance-oriented bikes, Bajaj seems to be working hard for an electrifying future
Quick News Highlights:
-
Bajaj confirms all-new electric motorcycle platform under development
-
The upcoming platform is designed to spawn multiple electric bikes, from commuters to performance-oriented
-
That said, we think Bajaj is still a few years away from an actual launch
Bajaj Auto, in a recent earnings call, mentioned that it is gearing up for a major leap in its electric journey. The Pune-based bikemaker has confirmed that it is developing an all-new electric motorcycle platform, designed and engineered entirely by the brand. This upcoming architecture will serve as the foundation for a range of models, spanning from affordable commuter e-bikes to high-performance offerings, as part of what Executive Director Rakesh Sharma describes as a “vigorous R&D push.”
These details are in addition to what the brand revealed about multiple new Bajaj, KTM as well as Triumph bike launches planned for India.
Learn From The Past, Apply To The Future
During the company’s Q2 FY26 earnings call, Sharma highlighted that Bajaj’s ongoing research effort is not limited to a single use case. “We are working across the spectrum, from entry-level motorcycles to premium, high-performance applications, both for the domestic and global markets,” he said.
Bajaj has a strong history of cost-effective manufacturing, so that along with the experience gained from selling the Chetak electric scooter will be crucial in developing the electric motorcycle platform.
Exciting Times Ahead
The electric motorcycle segment is gaining strong traction of late, with new players entering the space. While it is still a bit niche at the moment, it has a huge potential to become more mainstream in the coming years, so Bajaj’s electric bike development is bang on time. Bajaj is pretty serious about the electric motorcycle space as Sharma summed up aptly: “It’s better to be ready for opportunities than to miss them entirely.”
We reckon the first product to be a commuter-oriented electric bike as Bajaj would want to test waters with a fairly affordable EV that’s relevant to the masses. Expect it to be unveiled some time in 2027. As for the sporty e-bike, we might see something along the lines of Pulsar Electric, hopefully!

Bajaj Chetak User Reviews
- Hamara bajaj is now hamara chetakevI had purchased it when ev was new in market, I am very much satisfied. I had drove it for more than 50000 kms with no expense. I had to change only tyres and regular service only one auxiliary battery of Rs. 800 had been changed. I am quiet impressed me and my son both have purchased but there is very less front space between handle and seat to carry extra luggage vegetables or ration need to improve in this area good service staff in patni and Nagpur. I will recommend everyone to go for this ev only. Positive, Very good for local commute, I had recovered all the money spend for purchase, me and my son had not spend a single penny for petrol, very pleasant ride for city and highway also but with limitation of distance. mid age person college boys with huge space in seat box for helmet and laptop girls working women also it's value for money, I had already 2 chetak with me and both vehicle had been run for 50000 and 23000 kms planning to purchase one more for my wife.Read More1 2
