The official arrival of the Can-Am electric motorcycle in the Philippines marks a big shift in how local riders look at two-wheeled mobility. Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), along with its local distributor Scanmarine Inc., hosted an exclusive event in Manila to roll out two long-awaited models: the street-focused Can-Am Pulse and the dual-sport Can-Am Origin.
BRP brought out its top global executives—including Regional General Manager Robert Brzezinski—to present alongside Scanmarine CEO Alexander Eric Liu. They were joined on stage by dealer partners from across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as representatives from the LTO and Highway Patrol Group (HPG). The turnout made one thing clear: BRP is serious about securing dealer backing, spare parts, and service across the country right from day one.

Both the Pulse and the Origin run on BRP’s liquid-cooled Rotax E-Power unit. Because there’s no clutch or gear shifter, power delivery is completely seamless and instant.
