As part of its launch of its 2024 street-legal lineup (not much new info to share from the three-wheeled models, in case you wondered), Can-Am showed off video footage of its new electric dual sport in action, as well as its roadster.

Unfortunately, it seems the Can-Am Origin (the dual sport) and the Pulse (the street bike) are still a long way off from the market. Can-Am released very little actual hard information on the new bikes. The video above has no estimate of motor output, battery life, weight, MSRP, anything. The media presentation earlier this week didn’t tell us anything useful either—although we were told to expect the specs around the middle of 2024, with media rides later in the year.

So much for the 50th anniversary hype, then—realistically, these machines won’t be on the market before 2025, judging by that timescale. But most of the excited potential buyers aren’t going to be counting back to see how much time has passed since 1973; they’ll simply be waiting for more details.

However, we don’t expect this to be a Skully-style vaporware scenario. The machines in the video appeared on the Canadian motorcycle show circuit last year—they aren’t just computer renderings. Can-Am is working onconstruction of a factoryto build these motorcycles, and of course that impacts production as well. If you’re building a factory, then building the machinery to make the bikes, then hiring and training employees to work there, that all takes time—time that you can use to start saving for a no-doubt-hefty downpayment.
