2026 Can-Am Pulse: INCREASE YOUR PULSE.
Introducing the 2025 Can-Am Pulse…
The 2025 Can-Am Pulse is a naked electric motorcycle built for the modern rider—nimble, agile, and brimming with personality. Its industry-leading liquid-cooled system keeps the battery, inverter, onboard charger, and motor at peak efficiency, optimizing charging speed and performance in almost any condition. The lightweight architecture, with the battery integrated into the chassis, reduces parts and weight for razor-sharp handling in tight urban streets. At the heart of the cockpit, a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen with BRP Connect® and Apple CarPlay† delivers an interactive, customizable experience 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. Energy recovery is maximized with passive and active regenerative braking—the latter activated by rolling the accelerator forward for greater deceleration and battery recharge. A single-sided swingarm adds style and easy wheel access, while the reverse function makes parking and maneuvering effortless. With Level 2 charging from 20–80% in just 50 minutes, LinQ® accessory integration, and a design that’s as clever and playful as it is practical, the Can-Am Pulse is ready to electrify your ride and own the city streets.
