"The opening of our flagship store marks a milestone for BRP in Europe and positions us to continue growing as a global leader in powersports," said Steve Pelletier, Vice President and General Manager International at BRP. "With its prominent location in the heart of the French Capital, and strong focus on our all-new electric motorcycles, this new store enables us to expand our market presence by connecting even more with our community and confirms our long-term investment in Europe."
This flagship store is the first one in Europe in BRP's 22-year history and highlights BRP's rich heritage and leadership in the powersports industry. Designed as a retail, experiential, and demo center, the store, which spans over 144 square meters, underlines BRP's commitment to innovation, premium quality, and next-level relationships with its customers. BRP selected this location to support its market objectives and is pleased to have Canadian Motors operate its dealership from there. Canadian Motors already operates three motorcycle dealerships in France and has a strong experience of selling electric bikes. In addition, BRP will support Canadian Motors with a diverse range of marketing activities, ultimately helping to bring more foot traffic in the door. Currently, BRP has a network of more than 450 dealers and distributors across the EMEA region.
The electric newcomers: Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin
Featured in the flagship store are BRP's brand-new electric motorcycles – the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin. Both models are available with a power of 11kW as well as 35kW. "French customers will be able to access the 11kW option with their car driver's license and an additional training course of seven hours only, making it the perfect opportunity for Parisian commuters, scooter owners, and anyone else, to step up and experience the feeling and the performance of a real motorcycle," said Edouard Lotthé, Regional Commercial Manager, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Austria at BRP.
Both models redefine the ride and awaken the energy in every rider, whether in the city or off the beaten path. Each is driven by an all-new Rotax E-Power power unit – BRP's proprietary electric technology – which delivers instant torque on demand, merging pulsating performance with style and sophistication. A key feature that sets it apart is an innovative liquid-cooled system, which includes the battery, charger, inverter, and motor. The system significantly limits battery degradation over time while simultaneously optimizing range and charge time. In fact, riders will experience quick and efficient charging each and every time and in any condition – from 20% to 80% in 50 minutes – using Level 2 charging at home or at automotive charging stations.
In addition, the motorcycles can be equipped with 28 different accessories, including a top case, side bags and tank bag, allowing for practicality and elegance, specifically when commuting around the city.
Can-Am Pulse
The Can-Am Pulse is crafted for the energy of city life. An agile and nimble naked motorcycle designed for smart commuters and urban explorers, it features a massive 10.25-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, allowing riders to navigate with ease and stay connected to each ride with the BRP GO! App. It also has a unique feature, an Active ReGen system that provides enhanced control and smooth deceleration while giving more power back to the battery.
Can-Am Origin
The Can-Am Origin is engineered to take you everywhere, through dirt, over asphalt and beyond. It boasts the same Active ReGen and connective technology as the Pulse, and wields unmistakable Can-Am DNA and motocross heritage with all-terrain readiness, enhanced suspension, and dual sport tires. It adds an Off-Road riding mode, and its high ground clearance and full KYB suspension with 255mm of travel up front and adjustability in the rear inspire confidence off the beaten path and firm planting on paved roadways.
Can-Am Three-Wheel Family
The Can-Am Canyon is the newest addition to the brand's three-wheel lineup and the most versatile, rugged and adventure-ready three-wheel vehicle BRP has ever built. It enables the rider to travel on a multitude of rides ranging from a quick trip out to the countryside to multi-day excursions on unexplored roads without breaking a sweat, embracing life's adventures at any stage.
The Can-Am Spyder represents touring as well as sporty comfort on the highest level. Combining powerful performance in a bold and muscular design, modern riding comfort, and ample storage space, it is made for long road trips and stylish journeys in urban environments.
The Can-Am Ryker stands out with agile handling and ease of use. Perfect for spontaneous trips or weekend getaways, it remains a perfect option for people looking for an incredibly fun ride, regardless of experience, with accessible pricing and ease of riding.
