How Honda Activa Killed Bajaj Chetak?

[@siddhantrastogi5549]

I was discussing today with my elder brother who owns chetak ev about purchasing scooter & he said buy activa blind foldedly, don't buy ev, I have to run to lucknow at problems & until it gets heated, malfunction light keep blinking.

You take take ather ev blind foldidly, it just depend on who is the best in that segment

[@44_xiie_debrajbordoloi27]

​@@PirateHell77Range is less and price is more .. while chetak ev comes in same range and similar price (now lower I guess) and not like ather , Chetak has 0 fire incidents till now ( I beleive)

[@44_xiie_debrajbordoloi27]

Don't buy Activa at all , Honda is looting fools ... Go for Jupiter, Xoom , Access ,etc ... In activa you will pay more money and get no features at all ! Spending 1 lakh + and not getting bt connect , navigation, distance to empty , real time mileage , etc ... For what reason will you spend 1lakh+ on Activa ? Buy mid or top end varients of Jupiter 110 or 125 Zoom(I don't recommend , has no features ) Access 125 ( mileage of 64kmpl claimed by company)

My father has Bajaj Priya 1989 model. We got it restored 2 months back. People chase us at road and start taking selfies. My entire childhood was spent on this scooter, also it was first vehicle of my family. So it’s very special for all of us.

[@sangeethnarayanan4598]

Bajaj chose to focus on a new sector by introducing entry level performance motorcycling in India. Looking back, it was a masterstroke by Bajaj as they knew the Japanese giants doesn't focus much on below 200 cc segment and also that the Indian market was not ready for full fledged sports bikes in 600, 1000cc segments. Also, Bajaj has had absolute dominance in the 3 wheeler segment. Therefore, it doesn't matter much if bajaj decided to leave the gear less 2 wheeler market.

I worked with Bajaj Auto R&D for 2.5 years and had the chance to interact indirectly with Mr. Rajiv Bajaj quite a few times. He is one of the most underrated business leaders in India. His understanding of business and the market is unparalleled. He had this tremendous ability to identify niche market space and develop a product that would perfectly fit that space.

Instead of launching yet another petrol or ev scooter, Bajaj should launch a EV-petrol hybrid scooter. Hero Leap is being discussed from a long time but if Bajaj gains first mover advantage in this hybrid sector, it can regain it's top spot in scooters again.

The reason was that the Eterno was more of an experimental product by Honda. They took a risk of launching a geared scooter at a time when automatic scooters were fast gaining popularity. Hence, the geared scooter market was fast becoming extinct with only the Chetak being it's only competition.

I am not convinced by Rajiv Bajaj's way of doing business ie stopping models all of a sudden and stop making parts for its existing customers. I am talking about models which finding parts is headache. For instance look at 16 models stopped namely Boxer, Bravo, Cub, Chetak, Caliber, Discover, Eliminator, Hunk, Krystal, Legend TRICKS, M80, Priya, Super, Saffire, Wave and XCD. Customers confidence in brand Bajaj gets shaken by such rash decisions taken by Rajiv. Customers think twice before purchasing Bajaj motorcycles. Scooters or bikes parts must be manufactured even after models are stopped.
