CAN-AM GOES ELECTRIC

Can-Am has always done things a little differently . While predominantly known for its Spyder and Ryker three wheelers here in NZ , the Canandian company is finally returning to the two-wheeled world with a pair of all-new electric motorcycles . Dubbed the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin , both are powered by a Rotax electric motor and are expected to be released in 2024 . The Pulse is the street focused bike of the two ,

while the Origin is marked down as a dual-sport and builds on Can-Am ’ s dirt heritage from its earliest days . Currently we have little in the way of details for the two upcoming Can-Am bikes other than the obvious aesthetic features and the single sided swingarm . According to Can-Am , both will be “ highway capable ” and full details are set be announced , some way off , in August 2023 , just in time for the company ’ s 50th anniversary .
