Two new models, the Can-Am Origin and Pulse motorcycles, are currently in development and should be available in mid-2024, just in time for summer, the company said Monday.
“With Can-Am Origin and Can-Am Pulse, the first two models in our line of electric two-wheelers, we are preparing to reclaim our historic position in motorcycling by creating thrilling riding experiences for a whole new generation,” suggested the president and CEO of BRP, José Boisjoli.
