When most riders think of CFMOTO, they picture rugged motorcycles and nimble off-road machines. Yet beyond two-wheelers, this Chinese powerhouse quietly manufactures a diverse range of products—from work-ready utility vehicles to electric scooters and even marine craft. Here are six surprising CFMOTO builds you may not know about.
1. All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) & Sport Side-by-Sides
CFMOTO’s CFORCE ATVs and ZFORCE side-by-sides blend affordability with performance in the off-road segment. The Hangzhou factory churns out V-twin and single-cylinder engines for models like the CFORCE 1000 Overland (84 hp) and the nimble 580 cc 600 Touring. Meanwhile, the ZFORCE 950 Sport UTV features a 963 cc liquid-cooled V-twin pushing 85 hp and can top out at 70 mph on open trails.
2. Heavy-Duty Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs)
For farmers, ranchers, and even film crews, CFMOTO’s UFORCE series delivers robust, customizable workhorses. The UFORCE 800 XL offers seating for four, an 800 cc engine producing 63 hp, 11.8 inches of ground clearance, and a towing rating befitting professional fleets—all for under $13,000 MSRP. A Mexico factory opened in 2023 adds 100,000 units of annual capacity to serve North American needs.
3. Marine Yachts & Boats
Few know CFMOTO entered yacht building back in 2013. Under its marine division, the brand partners with Crest Pontoons and Bennington to supply hulls and marine engines for leisure boats and fishing pontoons. Leveraging its mass-production expertise, CFMOTO brings power sports engineering into a market beyond land vehicles.
4. Electric Micromobility under ZEEHO Brand
In 2020, CFMOTO launched ZEEHO to capture the electric two-wheeler scene. The AE8 S+ electric scooter packs a 69 V/27 Ah battery, 12.5 kW peak power, and a 100 km range while sprinting 0–50 km/h in 2.6 seconds—performance on par with 250 cc gas scooters. Fast charging (0–80% in 5 hours) and smart ride-assist tech make it ideal for urban commuters.
5. Portable Power & Generators
CFMOTO’s expansion into power products includes the i45 inverter generator (4,500 W peak, 3,700 W running) with electric start, eco-mode, and quieter operation below 60 dB. For campsite convenience, the P600 portable power station delivers 584 Wh via LiFePO₄ cells, 600W continuous AC output, and 1-hour fast-charge to 80%—handy for charging tools or phones.
6. OEM Engine Manufacturing & Future Powertrains
Since 1989, CFMOTO has quietly supplied engines to various OEMs, producing over 800,000 engines annually at its 1.6 million square foot Hangzhou campus. Beyond KTM’s LC8 V-twin under joint-venture KTMR2R, patents reveal CFMOTO’s next moves: a 675 cc inline triple and a groundbreaking 1,000 cc V4 with 209 bhp, counter-rotating crank and MotoGP-inspired tech unveiled at EICMA 2024.
CFMOTO’s leap from budget-friendly bikes to diverse power products underscores its ambition to be a global power sport and engine-tech leader. Whether it’s forging new trails on ATVs, powering yachts, electrifying city streets, or innovating tomorrow’s engines, CFMOTO surprises at every turn. Your next discovery might just be one of these lesser-known CFMOTO creations.
