In April, 2022, it was revealed that Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMoto was working on an electric version of its Honda Grom-rivaling Papio mini-bike. The Papio in ICE form, is very much like the Honda Grom and Kawasaki Z125 Pro in a sense that it's a sporty mini naked bike designed with fun and easy maneuverability in mind.
Now, with the influx of new electric two-wheelers, especially from Chinese manufacturers, CFMoto has decided to present the production-ready version of the electric Papio, called the Papio Nova, at EICMA 2022. When compared to the prototype model that was leaked earlier in 2022, not much has changed. Furthermore, in comparison to the standard 125cc Papio, the Papio Nova looks very much the same, retaining its diminutive proportions and sporty, edgy bodywork.
