Rumour: Bajaj working on an electric two-wheeler

Bajaj Auto is rumoured to have started working on a new electric two-wheeler, which is expected to be launched in 2020. It is not yet clear whether this upcoming electric two-wheeler will be a motorcycle or a scooter.

Bajaj's electric two-wheeler project is said to be in its initial stages. Details about the price, powertrain setup and travel range of the vehicle aren't known yet. However, reports suggest that Bajaj might take help of its Austrian partner - KTM, for developing the two-wheeler. KTM has been selling its E-Ride range of bikes in Europe since 2012 and thus has the required experience and insights.

It is also being reported that Bajaj might introduce a completely new brand to launch its electric two-wheeler. If the company finds success in the segment, it is likely to expand its electric product line-up under this independent brand.

In India, the electric two-wheeler market is still in its initial stages. Bajaj's upcoming electric two-wheeler might stir the segment up and provide a push to other manufacturers to start developing products for this growing market.
