Can-Am is developing two electric motorcycles, marking its return to this sector after several decades. Currently, the models are in the testing phase, but they won’t hit the market anytime soon.
The announcement of both bikes (the Origin and the Pulse) by this brand, part of the Bombardier group (BRP), occurred in 2022. However, according to Motorrad Online, the release will only happen next year.
The Origin is an Enduro motorcycle, staying true to Can-Am’s roots in the two-wheeled sector. The Pulse, on the other hand, is a naked bike developed on the same platform but with different chassis parts.
Technical details about either model are not yet known, but patents show plans for a battery with a total of 490 cells and liquid cooling.
BRP mentions in the patent the same cells used by Ducati in the MotoE bike, suggesting that these new motorcycles could achieve around 100 km of range.
It is worth noting that Can-Am was founded in 1974 and initially gained prominence in motorcycle production. However, it ceased its two-wheel operations in 1987, now returning with ambitious plans.
