Caofen F80 Off-Road Electric Motorcycle Canada

The Caofen F80 Off-Road YE is the trail-first version of the F80. It has more off-road torque and dirt tires than the mixed-surface GL. Caofen lists an 8,000W motor, about 310 Nm of rear-wheel torque, a 72V 30Ah battery, high ground clearance, battery heating, and an IP67 rating.

It is not street legal as sold. It belongs on private land and permitted off-road areas.

If the GL is the long-range F80, the YE is the electric dirt bike of the family.

• About 310 Nm of rear-wheel torque, the most in the F80 lineup
• 72V 30Ah battery for a lighter more off-road-focused setup than the larger GL battery pack
• Top speed up to 85 km/h
• Rated range up to 80 km at a steady 30 km/h
• Dedicated off-road tire setup with 70/100-19 front and 3.00-18 rear
• Strong gradeability for steep trail sections and loose-terrain climbing
• IP67 weather resistance
• Battery heating and immersion cooling for cold-weather riding
• Zero-weld alloy frame
• A better fit for riders who want electric dirt-bike behavior rather than road-biased range chasing

The YE is for riders who care about off-road response more than range. Its headline number is torque: about 310 Nm, the most in the F80 lineup.

That helps on loose surfaces, trail exits, and technical climbs, where pull matters more than top speed.

The 72V 30Ah battery is smaller than the long-range GL pack, and that is part of the point. The YE trades outright range for a more focused off-road setup. Caofen rates it for up to 80 km at a steady 30 km/h. That is a best case at low speed, not a promise for trail riding.

In real Canadian trail use, range will depend heavily on terrain, rider weight, temperature, and how aggressively the bike is ridden. Even so, the battery still makes sense for riders who value off-road response and lighter spec direction more than maximum road-distance capability.

• Dirt tires for grip on loose surfaces
• Motorcycle-size frame and wheels for a planted ride
• High ground clearance and long suspension travel for rough terrain
• IP67 weather resistance
• Battery heating and immersion cooling for a wider temperature range
• Full protective gear and permitted riding areas are a must

The YE version’s biggest strength is focus. It does not try to be everything at once. Higher torque, proper off-road tires, strong ground clearance, and a smaller lighter battery setup make it easier to understand as a trail-oriented electric moto rather than a compromise machine.

The tradeoffs are just as clear. It gives up range versus the GL version, it is not street legal as sold, and it belongs to buyers who already know they want off-road use. Verdict: the YE is the right F80 for dirt-first riders, but the wrong F80 for someone who really wants mixed road use or longer-distance pavement riding.

Buy the F80 Off-Road YE if you want the more dirt-focused Caofen F80 and your priority is trail torque, terrain confidence, and off-road use rather than public-road range. It is a strong pick for riders who already know they want the electric-dirt-bike side of the F80 lineup.

Skip it if you need a road-ready motorcycle, longer-range mixed-surface riding, or a product that fits normal on-road ownership questions. This is best for buyers who want a real off-road electric moto and plan to use it like one.
