  • Many potential riders hesitate to embrace motorcycling, our challenge was to create a new modular electric platform architecture which to address different needs for various consumer profiles. Can-Am is reclaiming its two-wheel heritage, and in the case of the Pulse, it’s redefining what an electric motorcycle can be; dynamic, progressive and contemporary.

  • Inspired by the snowy owl, the Can-Am Pulse redefines urban motorcycling with agility, accessibility, and innovation. Its compact design and refined ergonomics welcome a diverse range of riders, including those new to two wheels or of smaller stature. With four different riding modes, passive regen, active regen and reverse function the Can-Am Pulse evolves with its owner - whether they are honing their skills or achieving perfect harmony with the bike. Powered by BRP’s own EV technology, the Rotax E-Power system, the Pulse features liquid-cooled components designed to minimize battery degradation, increase range, and optimize charging times.

  • Mindful of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including responsible consumption and climate action, the Can-Am Pulse was designed with recycling and reusing in mind. While sharing its platform with the Origin Dual-Sport electric motorcycle, the Pulse is made from a reduced number of parts to minimize maintenance and the environmental footprint of manufacturing. The Can-Am Pulse pushes the limits while remaining inclusive and approachable. Anyone can ride it, regardless of their level of experience, gender or cultural background. It is a physical representation of BRP’s bigger story, which is rooted in broadening access to powersports.

  • The Pulse’s versatility is like no other. It meets riders of all shapes and sizes and experience levels where they are, and adjusts to their daily needs. The exclusive LinQ system makes it easy to switch between a variety of dedicated accessories without tools. In addition, the 10,25 in. touchscreen display offers a fully customizable and intuitive connected experience featuring Apple CarPlay, allowing riders to use maps and apps on the go. In addition to its balanced weight distribution centered around the structural battery, the enclosed silent chaincase reduces noise and minimizes maintenance allowing riders to spend more time on the road.
