Detailed Description

The Bajaj Sunny (1990) was a lightweight, gearless moped designed for urban commuting with simplicity and affordability in mind. It had a flat floorboard, a slender body, a simple step-through frame, and small 10-inch wheels for effortless mobility. It was perfect for short city rides because of its 60cc, two-stroke, air-cooled engine, which produced about 2.8 horsepower and could reach a top speed of about 50 km/h. The chassis was constructed using tubular steel for structural strength, while the body panels were mainly composed of pressed steel with some plastic cladding for weight reduction. It featured a trailing arm rear suspension and a basic telescopic front suspension. The Sunny’s design emphasised low cost, low maintenance, and high fuel efficiency, appealing to students and first-time riders. In order to keep the motorcycle affordable and simple to manufacture, Bajaj Auto used locally available parts with little chrome, simple paint jobs and a single-seat arrangement.
