Can-Am正在卷土重来!该公司表示,加拿大公司(它是庞巴迪娱乐产品的子公司)在制造了最后一次合适的两轮摩托车后数十年,该公司证实,它将在未来几个月(到2024年)将新自行车推向市场。而且,这些新机器将是全电动的。看看下面的视频。

Right away, you should notice two things about that video. First, it doesn’t actually give us much information. Second, look at the “featured image” of the video—there are four bikes lined up, and one of them is an adventure bike! If this is more than just an empty promise, we’d expect an electric adventure bike soon, bearing the historic Can-Am badge.

建立历史

Still, in spite of the complete lack of juicy details (no specs, no model names), we do have some info from Can-Am in the company’s press release. José Boisjoli, the company’s president/CEO, says this launch is a way for Can-Am to get back into a sector it once dominated, capitalizing on riders’ nostalgia while also embracing modern technology.

With the motorcycle industry shifting to electric, we saw an opportunity to reclaim our motorcycle heritage and to re-enter the market. This new product category is extremely important to us, and we are thrilled that Can-Am motorcycles are the first EV models in BRP’s electric lineup to be confirmed to consumers. Many of us have very fond memories of riding the early dirt bike models, and now we look forward to building on the rich history of the Can-Am brand to inspire and impress a new generation of motorcyclists and electric vehicle enthusiasts.

It’s been about 50 years since Can-Am first entered motorcycles into the offroad market; the first machines hit the market in 1973. The bikes were immediately successful. As罐头火腿网站说:

Canada is not a country you normally associate with motorcycles, but in the early 1970’s a then small company, Bombardier (pronounced Bom-bar-dee-ay (or eh! as its Canadian!), launched the MX-1 a 2 stroke motocross bike that in its inaugural year captured gold, silver and bronze medals in 1973 ISDE and 1st 2nd and 3rd in the 1974 AMA motocross championship. The world sat up and suddenly associated Canada with dirt bikes.

一定年龄的跟offroad-riding hosersd you’ll hear a lot of fond memories of their old Can-Ams. Although they won plenty of races through the 1970s, the bikes did have deficiencies—but then, what manufacturer didn’t, back then? The Japanese and Euro manufacturers were still figuring things out as well. Can-Am took influences from both those scenes, studying their opponents’ bikes very carefully. Can-Am also used Euro engines, running Rotax two-strokes. Bombardier, Can-Am’s parent company, had bought Rotax just a few years earlier, in 1970s, so this arrangement made sense. To this day, other Can-Ams (side-by-sides, etc.) still use Rotax engines.

但是,随着70年代的变成80年代,Can-Am从摩托车市场越来越远。庞巴迪没有像日本人那样加倍并建造可靠的四冲程双运动自行车,而是放弃了。首先,它于1983年将CAN-AM摩托车业务许可到CCM-ARMSTRONG,然后CCM-Amstrong本身在1987年破裂,并停止制作自行车。从那以后,我们在BRP制造的三轮车上看到了Can-Am名称,但没有自行车。

Although it’s been 35 years since anyone was making Can-Am motorcycles, there’s still plenty of interest in the brand from vintage enthusiasts.The Canned-Ham websiteis filled with information on these machines, and you can get a much more complete picture of the company’s history there.

下一步是什么?

我可以告诉你,这一公告并不奇怪 - 我听到了几年前的电力罐复兴的谣言,就在Covid-19命中率之前。然后,在2019年初,庞巴迪(Bombardier)购买了Alta Motors的残留物,Alta Motors可能是当时市场上最好的电动摩托车。实际上,我们在某一时刻看到了Can-Am的概念自行车,然后chat不休就消失了。当然我们要看某物来自Can-Am;它不会一无所有。

也许,如果我们不仅经历了两年的健康限制,我们可能已经看到了更多这个项目。也许不会。无论哪种方式,Can-Am都可能被迫确认电动摩托车项目,因为我们最近看到专利图显示了新的模块化CAN-AM电动摩托车平台。

Can-Am的原始摩托车主要仅是越野摩托车。不过,新自行车将是街头法律。最新的新闻稿说:“新产品是在考虑了许多不同的骑手的情况下开发的,特别是针对那些渴望冒险的人,寻求开阔道路的刺激,渴望在该国安静地骑行或想让这座城市充满活力新利18苹果街道。骑手可以期望这些新的最先进的电力罐摩托车非常适合日常通勤,并忠于该品牌的田径和越野遗产,娱乐性的在越野和越野骑行。”

那么,适合所有人的东西呢?凉爽的。我们期待着接下来会发生什么,我们很高兴看到Can-Am戏弄的冒险自行车。新利18苹果尽管我们确定在电池范围和充电时间方面仍然有问题要弄清楚,但对于Can-Am和Electric Motorcycling现场来说,这可能是向前迈出的一步。
