Can-Am re-enters the motorcycle scene for the first time since 1987 in a bold move with two new electric bikes: the Can-Am Origin dual-sport and Can-Am Pulse roadster. Both are powered by a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque. Interesting features include liquid cooling to extend battery life, the enclosed chain case that reduces maintenance and sound, and the 10.25-inch TFT touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay. Curious to find out how these electric motorcycles perform, we accepted Can-Am’s invitation to Austin, Texas, where we put the Pulse and Origin through their paces, flicking the Pulse through tight city streets and ripping the Origin around a 400-acre off-road ranch. Although all electric bikes today suffer from limited range, we were impressed by the bikes’ build quality, performance, design, and tech.
