Interesting news out of BRP on electrification.

[BryanSD]

this is indeed an interesting announcement. did they say they would be discontinuing the gas version or did I miss that?
BIG F

On social media, BRP and Can-Am have said they have no plans to discontinue the gas version of current lines. What is left unanswered is whether BRP (and Rotax) plans to continue to invest in research and development in new gas engine designs or not. It may be what we have in ICE now for the Ryker/Spyder is what we have for the future. I think it's a smart move for Can-Am to initially focus on a new product line (the two-wheel motorcycles) set to release in 2024 and see how the market are for those before marketing an EV three-wheeler (planned for no later than 2026). Electric dirt bikes right now seems to be the booming market right now, with almost all legacy motorcycle manufacturers have one already or plan to have one on the market soon. Motocross bikes looking for instant torque, light weight designs, and less concern for touring range makes them a candidate for EV versions to be introduced.
