Despite me loving the sound of a two-stroke turbo, or even some naturally aspirated triple, I'm all for the coming electric revolution. That may sound odd coming from someone like me, a dyed-in-the-wool lover of all things go-fast, but electric drivetrains just make a lot of sense for a lot of things I love to do.
From backyard chores to late-night rips to silently getting around the woods looking for some elk and deer, an EV powertrain is one of those ideal future scenarios that I hope gets further into its development. Because the opportunities are limitless if we get it right.
And one of the frontrunners of the electric age in the powersports space is that of Can-Am, as the Canadian company has been heavily investing in the technology for the last few years now. The biggest being the company's reintroduction of its motorcycle lineup with the Origin and Pulse all-electric bikes. But that tech isn't just staying in the two-wheeled segment, as after debuting the new Defender HD11 (which you can read about here), it's dropping the curtains on its all-new 2026 Outlander Electric, an EV ATV with nearly a ton of towing capacity.
