Bajaj also claims that users of these 3-wheelers will be able to save upto Rs 20,000 per year with these new refreshed RE range of three-wheelers, because of the increased fuel efficiency as well as lesser maintenance costs.

Bajaj added that the new RE Compact three wheelers have undergone extensive testing including customer trials for more than 200 days with more than 100 customers testing them with varied driving styles and conditions. While the RE Compact petrol 2 stroke is powered by a 145.45cc engine which churns out a peak power output of 9PS at 5000 rpm, the 4-stroke version gets a 198.88cc motor which produces 12PS of maximum power at 6000 rpm. Both these are mated to a 4 speed gearbox + reverse gear.
