Both models are on sale now, with production due to start in November and deliveries starting next year.
The second mechanical innovation is the covered chain case and silent chain system that forms the final drive.
The Can-Am Pulse range
The Pulse looks great.
In terms of usability, its all very simple and laid back.
Theres even a reverse gear to make maneuvring into tight spots a breeze.
The Can-Am Pulse range
Can-Ams innovation in the liquid-cooled powertrain goes against the general trend for air-cooling battery packs.
Zero also offers the same five-year warranty on its battery packs.
The covered chain case is also another innovation that I feel yields mixed results.
Although, Can-Am refuses to reveal the source of its cells.
Sorry guys, its just plain ugly, but it does the trick.
The only issue I had was with ergonomics.
Hopefully, these points will be addressed before production starts later this year.
The instantaneous torque is addictive and the Pulse carves through mountain passes with agile, predictable glee.
Its a great handling machine.
By the time I arrived at the foot of the pass, the system reported I could travel 59km.
Show me a petrol-powered bike that can do that.
Plus, the reliable range estimation and generous regen system largely rids riders of any sort of range anxiety.
Only recently, Italian innovators Energica filed for bankruptcy.
Its the same story for US eBike and motorcycle-maker FUELL, as well as slightly whacky Swedish brand Cake.
But the Can-Am models ride well and offer a generous level of technology as standard.
It’s a simple, fuss-free way of personalizing a ride, as well as making it more practical.
They look identical, perform admirably, yet require far less in the way of rider training.
