CFMoto motorcycles typically sell for roughly 50% more in the US than they do in China, and they don't have to meet stringent crash standards. Unless they decide to go with loss leaders, I doubt this would end up south of $20k in the US. And that's before we get into tariffs.
Small, cheap ICE cars like the Micra, Fit, Spark and Mirage were all dropped for lack of sales. I'm unsure if adding a short range EV drive-train will sweeten the formula for potential customers.
