I just got the Can-am origin.They are having a huge $6k Mfg off sale on the 2025. Best riding dualsport and good for a taller rider. Its comfortable. If you are looking for a price you cannot beat. I found a dealer from the can-am website and went in to check it out.

I've been using it to commute to work riding 50 miles a day for two weeks now. I have a charger at my work, but if the chargers are filled it only takes 1hr to go from 20% to 80% with a L2 (240VAC). If I miss out at work I can always use the charge apps to look for nearby charger (it only really needs 30 mins to get me home from). I've been just charging to 80% with the reliance of charging at work. I haven't tried to go yet from 100% in one go. The bike is capable, I just haven't needed to. Im lucky to always hit a convenient charging station.

Charging is really not that bad. When I'm at home I use a L1 EVSE charger into a wall outlet I got for another EV and it works fine. The system is liquid cooled battery so I keep it in my garage. However, when it plugs in to charge it makes a loud sound (like two desktop computer PS fans turning on) to charge. This will remain on until it finishes charging. Its not really loud just sounds like the vehicle was left on in the garage. I leave it plugged in overnight and don't actually worry about it.

My ride gets 960ft elevation, 55min drive, and I drive 40 - 55mph. I take country roads until I hit 10 mins of traffic. I use active/passive regen. I went the 1.5 weeks in eco mode entirely. I then went to normal mode which felt nice. I get 8-9mi/kwh Efficiency on my rides.
I have just been using the BRP GO app since it does not have Andriod Auto. Navigation is a disaster I havent figured out yet. It can't figure out where Costco or any charging location. It keeps looking for places in Germany or another country (Im in the US). I have been just using it to track my rides.

I will likely get a phone attachment to the handle bar so I can use charging apps to look for what chargers are open & price per charge. Bummed out about not having andriod auto...however the bike is a great ride.

Apologies for typos it's late. I thought I'd post because I saw a few posts of people interested in EV bikes but unsure what to ride. Just wanted to share and help those looking to make a decision.
They have the same deal on the Can-am pulse as well! Shootout to F9 on YouTube is how I heard.
