Can-Am Origin electric motorcycle review: Good for a fun time, not a long time


For short blasts up the trail or high-speed sprints home after a long day in the office, the Can-Am Origin is a real treat.

My test bike had just a bit of color, the battery pack itself providing a splash of yellow to stand out from the otherwise dark frame and fairing, but the brightest part is actually the 10.25-inch LCD that serves as the cockpit. (Tim Stevens for Engadget)The motorcycle also features a bevy of controls on the left grip, starting with standard fare like headlight flasher, horn and turn signals. Those knobby tires do make for a loose feeling on asphalt, the bike moving around a bit thanks to the extra tread, but it's a worthy tradeoff if you'll find yourself hitting the dirt on a semi-regular basis.
