China police go electric with CFMoto 300GT-E e-bikes

As the world’s largest market for electric vehicles, it comes as no surprise city police forces in China will be using electric motorcycles (e-bikes), specifically the CFMoto 300GT-E. Aside from savings realised from the elimination of fuel consumption and simplified routine maintenance for the police force, combustion engined motorcycles are banned from or have limited usage in major cities in China such as Beijing and Shanghai.

The 300GT-E is described by CFMoto as “purpose-built to meet the demands of police departments across China’s mega cities.” This is not Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster cruising the streets of Mega-City One but the 300GT-E is said to be designed to provide a wide range of performance and designs from a single platform, giving rise to speculation future e-bike models will be forthcoming from the Hangzhou, China motorcycle maker.

Power for the 300GT-E comes from a. liquid-cooled, mid-mounted motor rated at 18 kW and governed to a top speed of 120 km/h. While this may not sound like much, for the 300GT-E’s intended duty of patrolling city streets, should prove more than adequate.

Range is claimed to be 150 km from the battery pack which has fast charging capability. Connectivity to police databases and onboard communication is done via a 7.0-inch TFT screen which includes cloud-based vehicle status and live location navigation.

    Not a wise move. Police force needs to have highest mobility plus quick emergency response.

      Hopefully not in the near future. EVs are still very impractical right now.

    So sorry Chinese government, as i one of the rakyat Malaysia who does always been reading on the China news(please I’m not commi okay xD i don’t like the commi too xD), very ironically that , this motor name, which is 300 GTE, actually almost exactly the same name to the Toyota corona engine call 3T GTE, i might afraid that they still never learn a lesson from the wuhan incident, and be even more caution on putting the specific name they wanted, and especially, for recently still didn’t used theirs own experience and skills that learn from the Wuhan, to cure and fix the Shanghai covid corona virus outbreak, Shanghai was a very high tech and very big city on China, what where they doing and thinking ???…..i know that similar name because i own the Toyota Corona T141, but with a bit older engine, 3T single cam carburetor GL version (hahaha because of the bloxdy virus name xD =_= , my Toyota corona T141 is no more secondhand value anymore …( =_= ) anyway everyone please stay safe stay hygiene and wear mask at crowded area. :)
