Summary:
New Delhi: Mahesh Joshi, 58, a Pune-based businessman, bought an electric Chetak for his wife eight months ago.
The e-scooter soon became his own favourite ride.
The overall impressive, hassle-free running of the scooter and sky-rocketing fuel prices have made his petrol-powered motorbike redundant.
He is now anxiously waiting for the manufacturer Bajaj Auto to reopen bookings for the model so that he can buy another for himself.
