Can-Am’s Pulse and Origin stand out, making heads turn as you silently rip past folks on the street. The heads are turning for the futuristic, almost dystopian style and I know this because I was at the launch for both these models. But hiding within the stylish bodywork is some very clever engineering, and now it’s getting recognized, as BRP Inc. has won two Gold Stevie awards.
For those who don’t know, the Stevie Awards are conferred in nine programs and receive more than 12,000 entries each year from organizations from more than 70 nations and territories. BRP is walking away from the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence with an award for New Product of the Year in the Transportation category, and a Gold Stevie Award for New Product, also in the Transportation category, at the International Business Stevie Awards.
The Pulse and Origin electric motorcycles were recognized for their innovative technology and capabilities. The main things that set these two bikes apart from the competition are the liquid-cooled power system, active and Passive regen braking systems, and chaincase.
