The All-electric Caofen F80 Enduro Bike Can Take On Any Road

Chinese two-wheeler manufacturer Caofen has introduced its F80 all-electric enduro bike. Targeted at the European market, it will go on sale soon after the 2021 EICMA motorcycle show scheduled for later this month.

The off-road intentions of the F80 are made clear by its no-nonsense design inspired from ICE enduro bikes. There’s barely any bodywork and the only illumination you get are from small LEDs at both ends. 

Complementing the rugged design are spoke wheels wrapped in block-pattern tyres and a tall USD fork up front adding to its off-road capabilities.

The Caofen F80 is powered by a chain-driven 8kW motor capable of propelling it to 85kmph. The battery capacity remains undisclosed for now but the claimed range is 150km. We believe the F80 could do with a bit more range, considering there aren’t usually any charging stations in the secluded locations it’s built to venture into. 

Caofen hasn’t given the F80 many features to talk about either, and from what we can see, it gets only an LCD instrument cluster and disc brakes front and rear with dual-channel ABS.  

The world premiere of the Caofen F80 (with full specs and prices) will take place at the 2021 EICMA. And if the F80 has you excited, keep checking this space as we’ll bring you all the deets as soon as we get them.
