The company will produce the Pulse road bike and the Origin adventure bike, both powered by the same 8.9-kilowatt-hour battery
Jose Boisjoli , president and CEO BRP Inc., poses inside their research and development plant in Valcourt, Quebec , May 30, 2019.After nearly four decades, the storied Can-Am brand will bring motorcycles back to Canadian roads early next year – and they’ll be electric.and makes the Spyder and the Ryker three-wheeled vehicles – two wheels at the front and one at the back. It used to make championship-winning motocross bikes, back in the 1970s and ‘80s when it was owned by Bombardier Inc.
Neither bike has a lengthy range: the Pulse is rated for up to 160 kilometres with a 75-kilogram rider and the Origin for up to 145 kilometres, and that claimed distance is roughly halved at a sustained highway speed of 80 kilometres an hour. There are no larger batteries available.
Boisjoli says this is more than Can-Am expected to charge when it began developing the 47-horsepower Rotax e-motors several years ago, but the price of components has increased since then. Back then, BRP committed to offer an electric vehicle in all its product lines by the end of 2026, but it’s since delayed that commitment, with no new public deadline. Boisjoli would not say when an electric three-wheeled Spyder or Ryker will be produced, though they’re in the plans.
