These will be followed soon after by the CF Moto Z8 (an 800cc side-by-side) and the X8 (an 800cc agricultural ATV).
Established globally as a farm and powersports machine maker, Norwood says, CF Moto came to the New Zealand market in 2010.
Its scooters and ATVs have previously been sold here and in Australia bearing a different name. Now they're all CF Moto.
The firm, based in Hangzhou, China, has made such products for 20 years. It puts 25% of its 1300 workers to research and development. The brand enforces a zero defect policy. It makes 600,000 vehicles annually, selling them in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Africa, as well as in China.
CF Moto ATVs/UTV and side-by-sides come with automatic CVT (continuous variable transmission) and selectable 2WD/4WD modes with a low/high range and independent rear suspension.
The farm range of ATVs includes a base model 500cc (the X5) at $9500 incl. GST, the soon-to-arrive X8 (800cc power steer) at $14,999, the Rancher 500cc UTV at $13,999 and the new Z6 (600cc EFI) side-by-side at $14,999. All models carry a 1-year factory warranty.
Two agricultural/recreational models are the CF Moto Z6 (600cc) and Z8 (800cc) with electric winch, tow hitch and alloy wheels as standard.
