The CFMoto 300 GT-E is a new electric motorcycle that was engineered specifically for police forces in Chinese mega cities. This electric motorcycle achieves a maximum range of 93 miles and a top speed of 75 miles per hour. While this may not seem like incredibly fast speeds for police officers, the company stresses that there are not many areas in Chinese mega cities where vehicles can go faster than this speed due to the road infrastructure.
The bikes were designed for daily patrols and occasional pursuits with a comfortable riding frame and each required aspect of a police vehicle. The CFMoto 300 GT-E has a keyless start function, police lighting and sirens, antilock brakes, and a sturdy frame for reliable police usage. Lastly, the motorbike includes a 7-inch dashboard display that can be used for regular analytics such as speed and battery as well as police-specific features related to the job.
It is unclear if CFMoto will release a consumer-focused version of the 300 GT-E or if it will remain a police vehicle only.
