Bajaj Urbanite Electric Scooter Spotted Testing

Images of what appears to be the upcoming Bajaj Urbanite electric scooter, have recently surfaced online. Expected to be sold under the Pune-based two-wheeler maker's new Electric Vehicle (EV) brand Urbanite, the prototype model was seen undergoing testing somewhere in Pune, Maharashtra. While the images are not exactly very clear, the basic silhouette of the scooter tells we'll be seeing a very retro-styled design, possibly taking some inspiration from the company's popular scooter legacy. Furthermore, the fact that we don't see an exhaust system indicates that this is, in fact, an all-electric scooter.

Visually, there isn't much for us to talk about at the moment, courtesy of the heavy camouflage. However, based on the exposed areas, we can see that the Urbanite e-scooter will come with twin taillamps, an elevated grab rail, alloy wheels, and possibly even disc brakes. The test mule is also seen with a makeshift backrest, tall mirrors, and a vertically oriented digital instrument cluster. Other features and technical details are still unknown.
