JAKARTA - The new brand Chongqing Huanghe Motorcycle Company from China officially launched two new electric motorcycles, the F80 model in England.

Interestingly, the construction of these two electric motorcycles uses an aluminum frame without welding, meaning it adds strength and makes the weight of the motorbike lighter. It is even claimed to be strong jumping over the mound and falling from a height of three meters.

Caofen F80 comes with two variants, namely Road or Adventure for the use of highways and Off-Road variants. The F80 weight for the Off-Road version is 81kg and for the Adventure version 85kg.

Both F80 models have a large 19-inch front wheel. On the back, the Off-Road model uses a 16-inch wheel while the Adventure model uses an 18-inch rear wheel.

Battery temperature is also regulated by an oil-based system that allows bicycles to run in a cold environment as low as -40$C. For battery charging, the Adventure version from empty to full takes three hours and only two hours for the Off-Road version.

The Adventure version is able to cover a distance of up to 149 km while Off-Road is only 99 km.

In the UK, quoted from Visordown, March 30, Caofen F80 Adventure is sold starting at 5,940 pounds, or around Rp109 million and the Off-Road version starts at 5,495 pounds, or Rp101 million.
