The roadmap for electrification: What should happen by 2024.<\/h3>\n

Let’s think back: about a year ago, Can-Am dropped the bombshell and announced the development of two electric motorcycles.\u00a0 And where do things stand today?\u00a0 By the end of 2024, the technology should have matured to the point where the two models, Pulse and Origin, can be delivered to customers.\u00a0 So the development phase is in full swing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two bikes, one basic structure: Flexibility through modular design<\/h3>\n

Can-Am<\/a> is still keeping a low profile with concrete figures on the performance and range of the two vehicles.\u00a0 What is certain, however, is that the developers are relying on a common basic frame for the Pulse roadster and the Origin adventure motorcycle.\u00a0 This modular concept should offer a great deal of flexibility for further development work.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prototypes show themselves: from show bike to real machine<\/h3>\n

So far, there have only been concept drawings and trade show models of the bikes.\u00a0 But now Can-Am is presenting photos of prototypes.\u00a0 They show that last year’s visions have become one step closer to reality.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mystery battery capacity: a code in the picture names.<\/h3>\n

Particularly interesting: The number combination “35kWh” appears in some published pictures.\u00a0 Previous battery capacities in the field of electric motorcycles reach a maximum of 22.5 kWh.\u00a0 So if the “35kWh” does indeed describe the capacity of Pulse and Origin’s new batteries, it would be a true paradigm shift.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The drive: Innovation in detail<\/h3>\n

Patent applications from Can-Am reveal quite a bit about the bikes’ planned technical features.\u00a0 For example, the drive motor will be unusually installed in the front area of the swing arm.\u00a0 This allows all the space in the main chassis to be reserved for batteries and electronics.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Battery cell capacity: A look at the patents<\/h3>\n

The submitted patents speak of 490 battery cells arranged in seven modules.\u00a0 However, these numbers rather lead to a capacity of 8.7 kWh, assuming the LG M50L cells mentioned in the patent.\u00a0 So, whether the “35kWh” in the picture names is pure speculation or concrete implication remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weight and range: challenges and opportunities<\/h3>\n

If the 35 kWh battery is actually installed, the bike is likely to be a heavyweight.\u00a0 According to current calculations, that would be at least 116 kg (about 257 pounds) for the batteries alone.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see how this will affect the bikes’ handling and range.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Final thoughts: A high-stakes game<\/h3>\n

Until the official unveiling of the finished models, much remains in the dark.\u00a0 But the initial information, especially the mysterious “35kWh” claim, should already have the competition sweating.\u00a0 Deception or not, Can-Am is bringing a breath of fresh air to the electric motorcycle market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
