With the Pulse and Origin models, it is not only the Canadian vehicle brand Can-Am that is making a comeback on the motorcycle market, but also Rotax. The engines from Gunskirchen once not only powered Aprilia, KTM and MuZ. However, with the two-cylinder engine for the BMW 800 F-series, the production of motorcycle engines ended there six years ago. At almost the same time, the company - which, like Can-Am, is part of Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) - decided on a larger electric motor.
