Can Am has announced it’s releasing 2 new electric models before the end of 2024. One is a semi-futuristic roadster styled machine named the Pulse, and the other is an adventure machine called the Origin.
There are absolutely no details at all about either bikes specs at this stage, not even wheel sizes and the like, though the Can-Am website has a pretty cool 360 degree rotating view of both models from which you can make some assumptions.
The Can-am Origin
The electric motor appears to incorporated into the single sided swingarm assembly with enclosed driveline to the rear wheel which would be good for dust/mud/water protection and maintenance.
At a guess the front wheel is 21″ and the rear 17″ based on the difference in sizes. Suspension is USD forks at the front and a standard single shock at the rear with a single brake disc at each end.
There is no clutch or gear lever so the machine is likely single gear, unless Can-Am have managed to fit some sort of automatic gear system in a very small space., and as is fairly standard these days it will have led lighting all round and what looks like a fairly large digital screen
The Can-Am Pulse
