This is the best car I have ever owned in India. Very fast 145.45 cc motor. It is 2-stroke and air-cooled. It comes with 6.25 horsepower fastest auto rickshaw ever produced. 4.63 torque lets me pull a cart of milk or hay from one place to another. I used this car for my sisters wedding. Perfect car for wedding purpose. Very big fuel tank, 8 litres. It only uses leaded petrol and diesel fuel. My front and rear suspension are Helical coil spring and hydraulic double acting shock absorbers. Maximum speed is 35 km per hour - the rocket of the road.
Is the Bajaj made in India?
Four blown head gaskets in 11K is pretty abysmal.
AHAHAHAHAHA, rocket of the road at only 35km/h for max speed? Oh dear... oh dear...
Is turbo-charging an option?
Ideal transport for those who don't want a brown Datsun Bluebird...
Is this some kind of joke? What exactly is being reviewed here? Car? Scooter? Or an auto rickshaw?
You should be blessed by abundant sense of humour to read this. In Indonesia, such bajaj is famous for its venerable history as an urban transport cart, not a car. Travelling distance is about 10 miles at most and the speed is around 30 km/h. No need for air-con since the cabin leaks at all joints. No need for stereo since the engine screams like an F-16. Anyway, I respect the idea and bravery.
If 35 Km/h it's a "pocket rocket" I can't imagine the slow cars in India. LOL.
This is an absolutely hilarious review! It is understandable about the cicumstances at which these vehicles are driven however, Those guys who own pocket bikes can go twice the speed of the Bajaj. I personally would enjoy owning one of these cars because I like the novelty aspect and would probably end up driving it to my sister's wedding. Good review!
I love this! The bit about the stolen windshield did it for me.
Tell you what: My old Mercedes-Benz 6.9 has a cracked windshield. I'll send you the broken one after I have it replaced. :)
You know, I really do have a hard time believing this review. Since when did Bajaj auto rickshaws come with leather seats? Seriously, this is a cheap 1950's-tech 2-stroke Indian car, the thing the new Tata Nano seeks to displace. Also, the emphasis on speed very much seems played up. Also, people who own a Bajaj tend to be lower class and less educated. They probably wouldn't have impeccable English vocabulary, and for that matter, very few would have access to the Internet. Lastly, I'm not sure how anyone could not be furious at a car which eats four head gaskets in 11,000 miles. A typical modern Western car is considered bad if it makes a practice of having ANY serious engine failure before the first 100,000 miles! A Dacia 1300 or even a Trabant is more reliable than you described!
