Before going to talk about the two Can Am electric motorcycles let me remind you that in the days of 1980s, Can-Am was a hot brand. But the sun once set on this storied brand. Now the brand Cam-Am is rising again. Can-Am unveiled its two new Can Am electric Motorcycles.
Say hello to the Can-Am Origin and the Can-Am Pulse.

When these two Can Am electric motorcycles will be available
The above two Motorcycles were teased earlier this year and now BRP, the owner of the Can-Am brand, just announced these two new models.
They won’t be available until 2024, but they will be first two-wheelers to bear the Can-Am badge in over three decades.
Both models are being pitched by the company for both on and off road riding, saying that they will be perfect for beginner and experienced riders seeking either a commuter-spec electric motorcycle or something ideal for recreational trail rides.
The two models of Cam-Am offer two different styles of riding.
What BRP’s President says
BRP is certainly excited about a return to form for the Can-Am brand, as BRP’s president and CEO Jose Boisjoli explained in a statement provided to Electrek.
Today, our story of innovation reaches new heights. We have set out to reclaim our motorcycle heritage and are very proud to re-enter the market with the introduction of the first two models of our all-electric Can-Am motorcycle family. Half a century ago, Can-Am roared to victory on the track and the trail, and today, a legacy Os reborn. In true BRP fashion, we are bringing our very own electric powerpack to our Motorcycles, and crafting thrilling riding experiences for a whole new generation.
Specifications of Can Am electric motorcycles
If you were hoping to hear about some specifications of Can Am electric motorcycle, then you’re going to be disappointed here. We don’t have any hard spec for you today. Can-Am says they likely will not spill the beans on the full spec until august 2023.
I guess the feeling is that if people could wait three decades for a new Can-Am bike, what’s one more year.
But we can glean at least some details from the images of the Can-Am Origin and Can-Am pulse bikes.
Can-Am origin looks like a dual sports bike that could likely compete in a similar class to the Zero FX. O the other hand, Can-Am Pulse looks like a commuter level electric motorcycle. BRP mentioned “Highway speeds” during its unveiling. So we would expect the bike to hit at least 70 mph (120 Kmph) or so, perhaps faster. Can-Am Pulse could put in closer competition with bikes like Zero FXE.
Unlikely two Zero models that would likely compete with these Can-Am bikes, BRP will give on board chargers in these electric motorcycles, which will allow them to charge at level 2 charging stations. With rather small batteries (compare to electric cars), many electric motorcycles can be recharged nearly completely in an hour or two depending on the size of the on board chargers.
Can-Am won’t only be competing against Zero though. The light electric motorcycle market in US has begun heating up lately.

The Del Mar is also more expensive. It is priced at $16000 which is over the twice of the price of the Kollter ES1, Ryvid Anthem, and SONDORS Metacycle.
Even Kawasaki is also expected to unveils a pair of lower cost and commuter-spec motorcycles soon.
