2025 Can-Am Pulse Review | Daily Rider
good day everybody zach here and welcome to another episode of Daily Rider where we learn about motorcycles as we ride our guest today is the Can-Am Pulse that is an electric motorcycle weighs about 400 lb and costs around $14,000 if you know anything about motorcycles you’ll know that those numbers are not really remarkable in any way so this thing must do something to set itself apart well first of all it’s made by Can-Am which is best known in this day and age for making three-wheelers but used to be a household name in the world of two wheels it also has some mechanical and electronic features that other machines especially in this class simply don’t have from where I’m sitting it’s a very interesting machine and I’m excited to talk about how it works on the way to work that discussion and more coming up all right everybody off we go on another daily ride but before we do a quick reminder the sponsor of this episode is of course Revzilla revzilla is not just a YouTube channel that you’re watching it’s a business an e-commerce platform where you can buy things for you and your motorcycle or perhaps a friend who loves motorcycles so if you’re new to motorcycles you have an electric bike a gas bike red bike blue bike large bike small bike it doesn’t matter if you need a helmet tires saddle bags jackets whatever if you shop at Revzilla a little bit of the money you spend goes into producing programming like this that’s all I really wanted to say in the meantime thanks for watching all right the Can-Am Pulse i guess we’ll start in the middle here which is usually the engine or electric bike the motor in this case it’s the battery this is all a battery which forms some of the frame for what it’s worth the motor is back here this little guy Rotax E Power motor and it’s an interesting powertrain for a couple of reasons the battery and motor are unremarkable in the sense of uh the technology they use but it’s sort of like a scooter powertrain because the swing arm is all powertrain in other words the motor and the drive chain assembly which is um an encapsulated enclosed oilbathed chain in here is all part of the swing arm sort of like a scooter so normally with an electric bike you’ll see either an electric motor that’s mounted as a part of the frame and then a belt drive or a chain drive sort of like a conventional motorcycle or you’ll see a hub motor right something that’s built in here that pushes the bike down the road this is a little bit of a different system and uh has some benefits in so much as the chain requires uh basically no maintenance taking some of the snowmobile technology that BRP the parent company of Can-Am has learned over the years as for the structure of the bike of course it is a little bit different because the battery is a sort of a stressed member if you will just like uh engines are sometimes in uh internal combustion engine motorcycles and uh up here you’ll see a little where’s the coolant reservoir thingamajig there it is it’s over on this side and you’ll see a radiator and that’s because the whole system is liquid cooled which is kind of interesting the battery the motor the charger the inverter it’s all part of this liquid cooling system which Can think separates this bike in so much as it can be static temperature when it charges and when it runs it’s of course not perfect but it is an interesting feature of this bike other than that 17inch wheels you got a KYB fork and a SAX shock you have a pretty big brake rotor here i think it’s a 310 320 maybe it’s a 320 with Juwan caliper and braided lines there’s only one of them so keep that in mind when we’re doing our braking evaluation but yeah otherwise a seat two wheels a handlebar it’s a basic motorcycle the other thing worth mentioning while we are here is that this Can-Am Pulse is the 73 iteration it is the sort of uh package that uh commemorates 1973 when Canon released its first motorcycle i believe the 73 package has the rim stripes and some accents and it has this doohickey which is a doohickey and then these LED accent lights around the headlights which we’ll see when we flick the bike on and maybe is there one other thing i think that might be it this bike cost $16,000 rather than the base price of 14 and you don’t get that stuff last thing I’ll mention in this context is of course this bike does have a sibling the Origin which is a taller dirt bikey adventure bikey looking thing same battery and powertrain but um different wheels 10 in of suspension travel instead of 5.5 that kind of thing and um costs a bit more than the base bike not the special edition one i think that might be just about all I want to talk about right now uh of course you could take one last look at the passenger seat uh which isn’t so we won’t be talking about passenger accommodations there is an option I believe which we’ll cover later but for now let’s click on this 10 and 1/4 in tablet that um Canm has fixed to this bike uh and I’ll say that I understand that riding a motorcycle is risky which I have to do every time I turn the bike on for some reason yeah we’re just about ready to go here roll the throttle forward and then hold this starter button and you get a little and we are ready to go oh my phone’s connected all right right i was going to do something about that anyway let’s see here plug in my phone so we can fiddle with the whole Apple CarPlay thing which is kind of fun all right we got Apple CarPlay going on here we got to turn the bike back on and then we’ll be uh ready to go you can see on my calendar daily rider recording from 9 to 11:00 a.m we’re right on time all right enough of this mumbo jumbo let’s go we’re rolling along here so we can start talking about some specs actually let’s just um yeah let’s just go back we’re back to the home screen look at the gauges we’ll come back to the whole CarPlay thing but yes specifications i talked about the price so we don’t need to cover that and the seat height is just under 31 in I believe 30.9 and of course it’s pretty narrow in the waist here being uh electric bikes often are and uh so it feels pretty unintimidating to sit on claimed horsepower is 47 maximum I believe um with a continuous rating of 27 which are pretty low numbers though typical ebike it has a torque rating of 53 foot-pounds which is higher than a 47 or 27 horsepower gaspowered bike would have and what that means is acceleration is pretty good which we’ll experiment with in a minute here last specification that comes to mind is the 8.9 kWh battery which if you’ll remember I believe the Zero S we just did had a 15.6 kWh the Zero FXE that we covered on this program before I believe has a 7.4 7.3 and that’s another small 300 and something pound bike so this is definitely a smallalish battery about half or less than half the size of some of the larger electric offerings on the market like LiveWire 1 or large capacity offerings from Zero as for what it’s like to sit on I mentioned it’s pretty narrow and that is true the foot pegs feel a little farther forward than I was expecting when I first climbed aboard but otherwise it’s a pretty neutral regular old riding position there’s like a little bit of a sporty lean forward to this low-rise handlebar and I find it quite a reasonable place to sit the seat is a little bit narrow and I don’t think that padding was a huge priority as far as I can tell but that might snap into focus when we talk about range a little bit later on all right this is where an electric bike is particularly good actually any electric vehicle in traffic we’re sort of like stop go and not moving very fast efficiency is high of course they’re quiet smooth and I don’t really care about any of that i just want to go faster obviously but if nothing else that’s not a bad segue into what the bike feels like on the highway because this is not of course the Can-Am Pulse’s natural habitat if you will this kind of riding is very inefficient for electric motorcycles and it does not have a very big battery so if you do want to ride like this you’re not going to be able to do it for very long perhaps for that reason it’s not especially comfortable doing this kind of thing you sit pretty upright and you’re out in the wind because there’s no wind protection obviously aside from the half an iPad in front of you and of course it’s limited to I think it’s limited to 80 mph you’re not going to set any speed records with this bike the ergonomics and basic infrastructure of the powertrain show that one thing I appreciate about the speed limit on this bike ultimately is that it doesn’t do the thing like if you’re on a motorcycle that only goes 80 mph really it only goes 65 or 70 before it just is like almost out of gas like you might be able to get to 80 but you can just barely barely get there but because this bike is you know governed limited for that for the sake of the battery and the motor perhaps it gets there pretty quickly so if you do want to go 75 or 80 it’s no problem it’ll sprint up to those speeds but just as I said don’t expect to do that for very long i will say for my complaints about wind protection and the seat not being especially comfortable I never really found any problem practically with riding the bike like this do you always wish a bike goes more than 80 mph if you’re going to ride it on Southern California freeways in particular yeah you do but I used it dayto-day for many weeks and it was totally fine on the topic of range you might have noticed that we had about 60 miles of predicted range with the battery at 100% when we left and we have gone six miles six or seven miles now and we’ve lost 10 mi of predicted range which is the computer’s way of telling us that it hates this style of travel as for actual range and usable statistics I was seeing about 50 or 60 miles of total range um in city driving like surfer street that kind of thing if you go on the highway like I said it’s going to take a lot out of that and uh you know not totally what the bike is designed for the good news with a small battery course is it fills up pretty fast you can do level one or level two charging as for charging times I can tell you anecdotally the last time I charged up this bike which was last night it was down at 30% and I plugged it in and two hours and 45 minutes later it was full that was just an outlet at my house so you can do you know level two charging if you have that capability at your house or at a public charger and it’ll be a lot faster than that i think Can-Am claims 45 or 50 minutes to go from 20% to 90% or 10 to 90 or something like that so yeah like I said good news about a small battery is that it charges quickly but you don’t have a lot of legs realistically to go places because your range is limited feels a little silly to talk about mirrors on the highway on this bike because it’s not a highway bike but this is what we always do at this part of the ride and I’ll say that they’re placed pretty well but kind of small they’re more like city mirrors not touring mirrors which I guess we can’t be surprised about all right as we come down from highway speeds into the neighborhood not a bad time to talk about regenerative braking which when you let go of the throttle you get a little bit of regenerative braking which you can see on the this little blue chart here if you approach a stop light and roll forward on the throttle you get even more so neighborhood challenge where we try to do zero mph stops without putting our feet down and by gosh the Can-Am Pulse is pretty good at that kind of thing as quickly as we transitioned from the freeway to riding around a neighborhood suburbia like this that’s how fast the Pulse kind of comes into its own this is like what an electric bike is good at the throttle response is practically perfect because there’s no clutch engagement just a single speed twist and go it’s very intuitive and easy to use and of course it’s a fairly low fairly small sub400 pound motorcycle which is kind of unintimidating to sit on and control anyway and yeah that really means that this type of riding is easy as it should be so I mentioned this little power meter here and uh of course it’s not the same as internal combustion bike but if you think of it like a kind of like a tachometer this little orange bar is how hard the motor is working to push the bike forward and then the little inverse blue bar is um how much energy theoretically the battery is gaining back under deceleration so if you you know really open the throttle a lot you’ll see that orange bar go way up and um if you just cruise along like this you’ll see it’s not using very much power at all i think it’s uh you know it’s kind of a cartoony thing a lot of electric vehicles do this but I think it helps the rider keep in mind the energy that’s being used not to mention for you know a new rider or something like that you get to sort of understand what’s available to you while we’re on the topic you can see that this orange bar goes all the way up to around here if I were to change the ride mode to normal you would see that it trims the top of that orange bar and if I change the ride mode to rain it keeps it in the same place i guess I meant to put it in eco uh let’s see here let’s since we’re on the topic let’s just uh put it down into eco mode and that trims maximum output to right here so now we are wide open and you can see that we don’t get to use the top probably twothirds of the power source I guess so you can see it’ll still go 40 50 miles an hour with relatively little effort but I will say I dislike eco mode because the bike is just really really feeble like wide open i’m sure it’s economical and I can appreciate that i just could not bring myself to ride around in that mode it just is not fun sorry a good way to polish off this section of the ride where the can pulse is certainly an imperfect machine but this is really what it does best this is where the engine powertrain battery are most efficient and work the best and it’s just quiet and small and easy and very good at this type of riding got a long enough footless stop that we could yield to the other car okie dos lane and you remember the passenger accommodations which are zilch of course there’s an option and I reckon if you want to bop around town with someone on the back doesn’t really matter how uncomfortable they are because they’re not going to be there for very long quick sidebar subjectively oped rant here what the heck man why not just give me a passenger seat you kidding me no passenger foot pegs no passenger seat on a bike that’s supposed to be a city commuter thing what why not passenger pegs as an option on a bike like this is ridiculous in my opinion okie do twisty roads section uh you know this bike’s not super inspiring in roads like this frankly and if you happen to live right next to twisty roads then maybe you’d get a kick out of doing this type of riding on a Canon Pulse you probably don’t you probably get a couple little suburban twists and turns like this otherwise if you have to ride any more than five or 10 miles to get to the twisty roads then you’re probably just not going to enjoy them on this bike anyway and that’s just as well because it doesn’t provide I don’t think a lot of joy riding in roads like this it’s perfectly amendable it is not difficult to steer it has plenty of ground clearance you can lean it over it’s got decent tires it works fine but nothing about the bike in this environment tells me that this was something that it should do well and I don’t really blame Can-Am for that just kind of calling a spade a spade I guess right down to the bottom of the hill and turning back on to surface streets i can twist the stick for just a second get a little acceleration in it’s not hugely fast but it’s enough to be entertaining i appreciate that some people have equated this bike to any other 47 horsepower motorcycle like you’re never going to get excited about a 45 50 horsepower motorcycle this motorcycle is faster than a gas powered 50 horsepower motorcycle that you have ridden chances are it just hits different it’s not outright fast it doesn’t have a fast top speed it’s not going to do a/4 mile especially quickly but that little punch from 10 miles an hour to 40 or 50 miles an hour I think is entertaining and speaks to what the bike’s good at ride down to the bottom of the hill i’m going to be using my regen and we’re also going to jump on that front brake which works pretty well it’s not super bike strong i think that’s just cuz there’s one rotor and it’s 400 lb bike so kind of is what it is it feels to me like a brake that was designed to do the job not intimidate people that might be new to motorcycleycling and satisfy those who have ridden motorcycles before and I guess it does that i’m going to check trip statistics here go to stats and we’ll look at Wait this trip here current ride has been about 30 minutes and about 19 miles and 8 miles per kilowatt hour so it’s a little less than I was getting when I was riding the bike just in the city i was getting around nine so we can go back to occasionally we can talk about the dash anyway I suppose so this is the main sort of home screen here we got this thingy we’ve talked about in the speedo talked about uh odometer battery life which is generic like a fuel gauge um and if you tap this sucker here you can see media you can see Oops dip dip dip you can see statistics which we were just looking at uh you can also connect to your phone or navigation which in this case is happening via my phone you can see where we are and you can use Apple CarPlay as you would which is pretty slick I guess um it’s not hugely convenient to use because in order for Apple CarPlay to work you have to connect the headset on your helmet via Bluetooth which is kind of annoying if your phone and your headset are already connected because then the Bluetooth connection is fighting itself and you have to plug the phone in and keep it’s just like a little bit clunky and I bring this up because the Gold Wing uh Honda Gold Wing that we have in our shop right now has wireless CarPlay i just leave my phone in my pocket i get on i turn on my headset everything’s connected it’s fine and that is much much easier and knowing the technology exists whether it’s in a car or on another motorcycle and doesn’t on a premium offering like this uh has me scratching my head just a little bit and while I’m complaining about things I don’t understand why we need to connect our headset in order for me to look at a map who flipping cares just let me plug my phone in and use a helmet without a headset and navigate with the visuals maybe they get busted if you can’t hear it because you’re not supposed to be taking your eyes off the road i don’t know what the deal is but um a little bit of a flawed system which is too bad because CarPlay is something that a lot of people understand and know how to use and I think that makes it a great addition to the world of motorcycleycling especially a sort of tech heavy bike like this when I posted a picture of this bike on Instagram I got a lot of people laughing at how big the dash was i thought that was interesting there were a lot of people that were like “God the dash is so big it’s so dumb.” Which is funny because you know companies are always sort of striving to provide the most interesting and colorful and big dash they can and perhaps Can-Am went too far people seemed almost annoyed at how big the dash is on this bike but I think um considering the machine’s offering what it does best and what it’s aimed at doing I don’t hate it it’s so much more sophisticated really than lots of other machines which is you know this bike needs all it can get when it comes to differentiating itself all right coming into the ride here talking about this Can-Am Pulse and there’s a couple things I want to mention perhaps you’re one of the people that either knows or believes that the uh origin the um sort of off-road sibling to the Pulse is the better bike that is a an opinion that is shared among many of my colleagues um not least of which our buddy Ryan Fortn did a great video on these bikes talking about the technology the build and the history of the company but as he pointed out in his video whether that bike is good is irrelevant because an adventure bike that only goes less than 100 miles is kind of useless so really this is the bike that needs to be good and it’s not as good or I don’t think it’s good enough to set itself apart in a world of other small machines that weigh less than 400 lb and sort of do what we just did on this ride albeit with less technology and perhaps less acceleration but with a little bit more spunk and joy and I think that’s kind of what we are all here to do and that is ultimately what I’ve come to realize in riding this bike is that the thing that electric motorcycles are good at is unfortunately not what we seem to like to do with them in this country in the United States the companies are under some amount of pressure from governments or their board of directors or whatever it is to produce electric options and lots of companies are producing electric options but the technology just kind of isn’t there for an electric motorcycle to stand toe-to-toe with a gas bike especially when it comes to just being a general joyful part of your day like this bike is fun it accelerates quickly uh it looks pretty sleek the performance and usability metrics of the bike don’t in my opinion stack up the way they need to and I’m starting to get kind of frustrated that every time an electric motorcycle company comes out with a product it aims at the same space to do something performanceoriented or be light or try to set itself apart in in those silos and it just doesn’t work and I don’t know exactly what the answer is but maybe maybe try something different because this whole target of inner city transportation and that kind of thing is like it’s cute but I don’t think it’s getting electric motorcycles on the map speaking of getting where we need to go let’s head down this dirt road now this would be of course the Can-Am Origins home turf but we’re going to ride it on the Pulse and see how this traction control works we’re going to leave traction control on in sport plus and see what we get here let’s see what we get it’s very very very timid abs surprisingly lenient okay so that’s traction control on and that’s sport plus mode so I can’t imagine that uh like we could try rain let’s try rain mode still quite a bit of acceleration uh I don’t hate it uh but I’m going to go back to sport plus and then I’m going to go over to the settings you’re not going to let me do it with Come on tc off let’s try that one for size interesting okay but it didn’t just spin all the way up so it’s doing the same thing that the the ZS did which it releases traction control but it doesn’t leave the motor in the rear wheel completely uninhibited it lets you spin up to a much higher degree it’s sort of a dangerous degree but it still catches itself which must be to do with front rear wheel speed and that’s kind of fair to be honest because an electric motorcycle can absolutely put you on your head if you don’t have that kind of um back stop okay so you may have noticed up to this point we’ve done a couple wheelies but we’ll do another one here and now we’re going too fast we got to slow down more we got to go more like 10 15 miles an hour to get the front wheel to come up hell yeah pretty good wheelie I got to say uh it gets a little weird because the traction control starts to realize what’s going on and kind of like dumb the throttle down but um the fact that you can do that is a positive thing is it enough to save the pulse in my own mind’s eye well guess we’ll have to get to the leaderboard to talk about that one more sprint here we go yes sh all right last test of course is can you back it in and we’ll give it a try but I don’t think so yeah no the ABS is um not particularly adjustable and you know honestly if you could shut off rear ABS easily then I wouldn’t back it in really at all because it’s scary so instead of backing it in let’s take a quick spin over to um the statistics for this ride where’s current ride um what do we got here we got 24.4 miles average speed of 29 mph 8 m per kilowatt hour a little less than I was getting riding just in the city 33 mi of range left so you’re talking it’s still saying we’re going to get 60 miles but I don’t think that that’s true if we kept on doing that ride the point is if you got a 25 mile commute you can go to work and go back and you should be okay but you know just like any electric bike it’ll be a little bit nerve-wracking all right U-turn challenge we’re gonna get as close to this Ford Transit as we can and then we’re going to go near yep full lock left yeah oh yeah less than two parking spaces that’s good stuff that’s good stuff it doesn’t have a lot of personality but ultimately the you know performance of an electric bike in situations like this is playful if you kind of like poke and prod at it anyway there we have it everybody the Can-Am Pulse got us to work with some range to spare though it is flawed in some ways as we talked about okie do let’s hear what you all want to know first question here is from Perry Drives who says “At $14,000 for 60 mi of range would you rather have this or the BMW CEO4 scooter?” Good question can and BMW both hold good standing in my mind they’re real powers sports companies i have a lot of trouble comparing this bike or any other electric bike to the myriad companies that pop up that are sometimes around for six months or two years or three years that promise a new wave of electric blah blah blah and they all use the same technology which is a battery and electric motor and you have lots of series A funding you can make them cheap for a little while and then it just doesn’t work bmw and CANM are two companies that have the ability to actually put these bikes forward into the market i’d have a BMW CEO4 because you’ll notice that this is the onboard storage on the Can-Am and the BMW CEO4 has a 30 L storage pouch that holds a a helmet and I don’t really know what this bike does that the CEO doesn’t i mean it looks like a motorcycle not a scooter and it handles like a motorcycle not like a scooter but like I don’t care i don’t know like I just want the storage and the practicality and I think the CEO4 looks goofy and funny and cool and all that all at the same time and that would be the bike that I pick next question is from Neon Hoshi who says “Being a couple years newer than the LiveWire S2 platform and many years newer than Zero’s older platform does this show progression in the electric motorcycle realm or is it more stagnant?” Good question and I’m sure that an electric motorcycle engineer or someone intimately familiar with the industry might say we’re making there’s progress there’s progress being made uh that would be the optimistic point of view I assume but no is my take there isn’t a lot of progress this is the same technology that everyone kind of uses and it’s the same ceiling that everybody bumps up against virtually which is that it’s hard to make a bike stand toe-to-toe with a gasoline alternative you have to have it deliver some other thing whether it’s a feature or a gimmick or whatever like they’re always reaching for some other thing because the energy density in the battery just it’s not there yet it doesn’t keep up with gasoline i’m curious to see i hope that obviously there are strides that are made but for now it largely seems the same to me broadly next question is from Queso 17 who says “Seems like the range figure is the biggest Achilles heel here right we talked about that a little bit already let’s pretend this bike had 200 mi of range how does your opinion of its bike and its value stand interesting question obviously that changes a lot of things right if it had 200 miles of range in this case it would mean it had a battery that made it weigh you know 6 or 800 lb i think what you’re asking though is pretend that’s not the case you could just have a 400lb bike that would go 200 miles and I do think that would change the calculus that would mean that the whole energy density thing we just talked about would be different and people would be much more willing to accept this even if it took overnight to charge or whatever that they would have more freedom and and more range because you don’t need to take a road trip on electric bike you just need to not feel like your neck is close to the noose when it comes to the battery running out of juice so to answer your question if it’s this bike 400 lb $14,000 and you go 200 miles totally changes my view of the value of the bike i think it’s a all of a sudden it’s a steal and I think a lot of people would maybe feel the same way next question is from Fly Douggee who says “Does the electric motorcycle market seem like a successful business model for manufacturers in 2025?” Good question very good question i think like I said there is a lot of pressure to move forward because there are lots of mandates coming about all electric vehicles needing to be produced from governments around the world and inner city congestion you know like if you’re going to ride into a dense urban area whether it’s London or New York or wherever else you’re going to need to have a high efficiency vehicle or an electric vehicle so there’s not so much pollution stuff like that i think that companies are moving in that direction for those reasons but I don’t see a lot of hard in it i don’t see there being a really valid reason to build this bike if you’re a big company like Can-Am and you’re selling oodles of three-wheelers and side by sides or if you’re Harley-Davidson making live wires when you’re selling lots of other motorcycles or if you’re BMW or Honda and you’re selling lots of cars and motorcycles that run on gasoline or they’re hybrids so they make more sense for other reasons all of this just feels like it doesn’t make sense unless you’re going to be a small company like Zero or something like that that makes a few motorcycles for a few people that is a business model but there’s not a lot of room in the market for that and when a big company like Can-Am comes out with a bike like this as much nostalgia is involved and the the 1973 badging and we can all say “Ah I remember oh that’s a such a fun idea.” I’m not sensing that it matters in a way beyond the stockholders and the the the government mandates even though it does power wheelies and it got me to work and you can do worse than that all right thanks for sticking with me thanks for asking good questions as usual stick around a little bit longer we’re going to go put this sucker on the daily rider leaderboard okie dokie everybody here we go on another leaderboard run we got the CANM pulse ready to go as a reminder of what’s on the leaderboard or what’s at the top of the leaderboard you got your CF Moto IbEX 450 Husqvarna Spartan 801 and Yamaha MT9 uh as well as these other machines that have also been dailyridden in 2025 the Can Pulse um as we always say with electric bikes is a little bit of a knife to a gunfight good news is that it has a direct competitor the Zer which is a $15,000 base price I think and uh has a larger battery is much heavier but both electric bikes both naked upright sportyish um machines pretty direct competition there so the Canon Pulse is probably going to fall in this area somewhere uh bottom half of the board because it is ultimately expensive for the capability that you get it would be awesome if it was you know half the price that it is so all that being said I think we can make it a pretty fast sort of placement here on the board what do you think can-am Pulse Apple CarPlay 390 lb power wheelies good stuff 0 much more distance much more weight much less sophistication in um the dash and connectivity that kind of thing drum roll thoughts what do you think come on there we go i’m going to put the Can-Am Pulse just below the Zer i think the Zero ultimately is kind of a better purchase because you do get a lot more range capability you get a lot more from the bike and I don’t think it handles as well as the Canon Pulse because it’s heavier does have a little more power ultimately it can go faster which is nice but really it’s that big battery that I think is a good balance between capability and usability uh as we talked about on the ride you know you can go the better part of 100 miles on a sort of normal daily ride around do errands get to work whatever you need to do and it’s small enough that it’s the size of a regular motorcycle it’s heavy undeniably but it’s a regular size motorcycle so I mean for my commute I uh when I’m not on the daily rider route uh my commute is only a handful of miles and um the Canon Pulse would be perfect for that i can take city streets I can take the highway if I want to it’s short um one charge will last a whole week it’s easy if you’re in a dense urban area I think the bike makes a lot of sense um if you do want a little bit more range a little bit more capability the Zero is going to make more sense and if you want to burn gasoline like your granddaddy done did then you got all these other bikes that can do that so I hope um this made sense i hope you’ll check out the article which is linked in the description of this video it has uh more information photos and details on the Canon Pulse as well as its sibling the Origin other than that uh stay tuned for the next daily rider I guess as usual I hope you learned a thing or two and I hope you had fun i’ll see you next time maybe that’s kind of an inappropriate song to have up i didn’t even really think about that oh my god you kidding me then just skip the song stupid no no no no no no no no no no no no god damn it stop stop doing that
