The Can-Am Pulse roadster (left) and Origin dual-sport (right) earned BRP the iF Design Award for outstanding and innovative designs. BRP, the parent company of Can-Am, has been recognized with an iF Design Award for the brand’s two new electric motorcycles, the Can-Am Pulse roadster and Can-Am Origin dual-sport. For the 2025 awards, 131 jurors from 23 countries met for three days to select outstanding and innovative designs. 2025 Can-Am Pulse roadster The iF Design Awards are assigned based on a product’s innovation, functionality, and aesthetics, with a focus on sustainability. The Pulse and Origin mark a bold reentrance to the two-wheeled market for Can-Am, offering unique styling and integrated technology like their liquid-cooled power system that helps limit battery degradation and optimize charge time. The two bikes share many components but offer riders different experiences, with the Pulse being designed for daily use and urban mobility and the Origin being designed for both on- and off-road duty. 2025 Can-Am Origin dual-sport “We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the iF Design Award,” said Denys Lapointe, chief design officer at BRP. “I want to acknowledge the work of the passionate team who designed these motorcycles, reaffirming once again BRP’s commitment to developing products that shift the paradigm. The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin redefine electric motorcycle riding. They have distinct personalities but have one major thing in common: they blend iconic style with forward-thinking technology, providing people with unparalleled riding experiences.” Both the Pulse and Origin use a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque. When we reviewed the Pulse and Origin in Texas in September 2024, we were impressed with the bikes’ innovation and functionality, stating that “If Can-Am can crack the range issue, these bikes would be unstoppable. Everything else – build quality, performance, design, and tech – is simply outstanding…” For an in-depth look and riding impressions, read our 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Origin Review or watch our YouTube video review.
