CF Moto Concept NK-C22, Papio Nova electric motorcycle unveiled at EICMA

CF Moto has unveiled two interesting motorcycles – an 800cc concept and its first electric bike – at the EICMA 2022 event underway in Milan. 

• Papio Nova is CF Moto’s first electric bike

• Launches new Zeeho electric two-wheeler sub-brand

CF Moto Concept NK-C22 street naked

The Concept NK-22 street naked is based on CF Moto’s 800cc platform and looks quite striking. Being a concept, there’s a lot of exotic carbon-fibre bodywork that adorns the motorcycle. In typical streetfighter fashion, the design is aggressive, with a sharp headlight cowl, chunky fuel tank and a stubby tail section. Other design highlights that grab attention are the dual-tone paint finish with red accents and a twin-barrel SC project exhaust. 

CF Moto Papio Nova electric motorcycle

The Papio Nova marks CF Moto’s foray into the electric motorcycle market. The model itself is quite compact and reminiscent of the Honda Grom in many ways. That said, its bodywork is styled to make it look sharp and underneath it, there’s a 2.2kW battery and an electric motor that the company says makes an equivalent of 30hp. Its range at ‘urban speeds’ is claimed to be 150km. The motorcycle is expected to go on sale in 2023. 

CF Moto Zeeho electric two-wheeler sub-brand

Besides unveiling its electric motorcycle, CF Moto also launched the Zeeho electric two-wheeler sub-brand, under which it aims to launch a bunch of e-scooters. CF Moto also showcased the Zeeho Magnet concept, which is a high-performance electric scooter that’s capable of sprinting from 0-50 kph in less than 2.5sec and on to a top speed of 150kph.  

The company also showcased the AE8 and AE6 range of electric scooters. The AE8 covers the 0-100kph run in 11sec, while its top speed is over 100kph. It can cover 120km on a single charge and the battery can be juiced up to 80 percent in two hours. The AE6, on the other hand, sits below the AE8 and is capable of a top speed of 80kph only, while the battery range is 100km. It takes three hours to charge the battery to 80 percent using a standard charger. The company says the electric scooter will go on sale in global markets soon.
