2026 Can-Am Origin 73: ELECTRIC DUAL SPORT FREEDOM.

Introducing the 2026 Can-Am Origin 73…

The 2026 Can-Am Origin ’73 is a dual-sport electric motorcycle that thrives both on the pavement and far beyond it—versatile, capable, and dressed to impress. This premium edition stands out with its exclusive Sterling Silver satin finish, dedicated trim, “73” heritage badges, and a LinQ windshield, celebrating Can-Am’s legacy while embracing the future. At its core is an industry-leading liquid-cooled system that keeps the battery, inverter, onboard charger, and motor running at peak efficiency, optimizing charging speed and performance in almost any condition. The lightweight architecture integrates the battery into the chassis for reduced weight and enhanced agility, while a full KYB suspension with 10 inches (255 mm) of travel and 21″/18″ knobby tires deliver confident control on any terrain.

Rider connectivity is seamless with a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen featuring BRP Connect and Apple CarPlay, putting navigation, media, and bike data right at your fingertips. The chaincase shields the silent chain from the elements, keeps it perfectly lubricated, and uses an automatic tensioner for maintenance-free reliability. Passive and active regenerative braking return energy to the battery and aid deceleration, with active regen—activated by rolling the accelerator forward—offering greater stopping power and recharge efficiency. A single-sided swingarm adds style and easy maintenance, while the reverse function makes tight maneuvers and parking effortless.

Practical touches like the high-quality outdoor motorcycle cover—with a charging access port—protect your investment, and LinQ integration makes accessorizing a breeze. With Level 2 charging from 20–80% in just 50 minutes, premium design details, and the capability to conquer both city streets and rugged trails, the Can-Am Origin ’73 is the ultimate expression of electric dual-sport freedom.
