And we'll all be a lot better off when we get over this obsession of owning things.
Unfortunately, we'll always be at the mercy of those who want to control others' behavior (politics).

Grammar, not spelling. I'm not trying to 'win' an argument that is off topic in my own thread!

It will be interesting to see the final announcement. If the street version has enough range it would be a good commuter or weekend bike. I don't think I'd like to take one on a long tour, doesn't look comfy enough.

The street model looks similar to what Zero has done the past few years.
It will be interesting to see how BRP matches its competition in terms of performance and pricing.
Given they are 2-wheelers, I'm not a customer. If released in 3-wheel form, I'd be at most a "maybe" particularly if they are battery-only like the HD Livewire. A plug-in hybrid might change my mind, but I really dislike being tied to a charging station network or limited to local use.

In electronics, Can-Am highlights the high-performance LED headlight. The brand also says the bikes will provide a “truly connected experience,” so the bikes will likely have good smartphone integration.

My question is Are they thinking, when the batteries go bad, what are the environment impacts of them? I read it would be a 20 million $ + recycle price to get rid of the batteries. And the price to replace the battery in the cars are more then the cars are worth.

Now you can start to get an idea of what these climate crackpots are up to if you hadn't thought of the actual reality of it and just trusted the science.
Any company heading down this road is either broke and needs handouts or will be shortly after the grid gets turned off is my dumbass opinion.

Some tidbits I have heard on the news recently.
There are currently 50,000 charging stations for electrical vehicles nationwide.
California has passed a new law that says no gasoline vehicles can be sold in the state after 2035.
During the hot spell, California was making a statement NOT to charge your electric vehicle. It was putting to much stress on the electrical grid.
Kind of makes me wonder how things are going to be when everyone in the state has to charge their vehicle. 
 
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

To be fair your electric Can Am will earn you carbon credits on your social credit score so you will get your full allocation of central bank digital currency for the month unless of course you overstepped the amount of tyre rotations you will be permitted to amass (rubber doesn't grow on trees you know). Oh and of course all the plastics and metals will be restricted so you will have to whittle handlebars out of starvation victims thigh bones. Coconut shells for gauges. But you'll be happy.
