New-Delhi, June 2013
Three friends from France, Switzerland and South Africa decide to get an old Chetak scooter customized by mechanics in the crowded gullies of Karol Bagh. After a fair amount of haggling and language problems, the trio get their idea across: re-invent their humble Bajaj into a retro-funky 21st century machine, while preserving an all-important pinch of Indian kitsch. Half-expec
ting a flimsy paint job, they are surprised to find an impeccable finish on their old Chetak, which looks positively resuscitated from the dead. Over the next weeks, enthusiasm grows and heads turn at every ride... Fun develops into passion, and the one-time project becomes an ongoing thing. Hornee Scooters™ is born!
