CF Moto Electric Sportsbike in the Making? | Here’s What You Need to Know

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CF Moto has taken a very different approach to electrifying its lineup, with leaked patent images revealing an electric sportbike based on the existing 450SR. This cost-effective strategy could lead to a much faster development, lower prices & a unique blend of familiar design with electric performance.

Instead of developing a dedicated electric platform like most competitors, CF Moto plans to swap the 450cc gasoline engine for an electric motor and battery pack. Patent images show the electric version retaining the 450SR's tubular-steel trellis frame, swingarm, seat, and subframe, indicating significant parts carryover. This approach aims to reduce development time and costs, potentially translating to a more affordable final product.

The impact of this strategy could extend beyond the single model. If successful, CF Moto could replicate it to electrify other existing models, offering a range of familiar yet electric motorcycles.

Details about the electric 450SR's performance and launch date remain unavailable. However, there might be a possible concept unveiling at the upcoming EICMA event in November 2024. This approach by CF Moto has certainly gained the industry's attention. If done well, it could offer a great entry point for riders interested in electric motorcycles without sacrificing the familiarity of established platforms.
