Technically speaking, the company isn’t actually called CFMOTO — that’s just the trade name. The actual company is called Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd. The company was founded in Hangzhou, China in 1989, originally as a secondary manufacturer of existing engine designs before evolving into designing, building, and selling its own parts. The CFMOTO brand has been seen in both private and professional sectors, selling its vehicles, parts, and helpful ATV accessories to both hobbyist off-roaders and professionals in need of rugged vehicles like police and firefighters.
The company expanded out to the United States in 2002, bringing its ATVs and side-by-sides along for the ride. During the 2000s, CFMOTO established its official United States headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota, where it worked to better engineer vehicles with western consumers in mind. In this time, CFMOTO also established branch offices in Europe and Thailand, providing its wares to over 4,000 dealers across over 100 countries and regions.
