I didn't know Can-am made an electric motorcycle. The drive system is interesting. The motor is mounted on the swingarm, just aft of the pivot. It is geared down, then transmitted to the rear by chain. The chain is automatically tensioned and the whole system is sealed and lubricated.
It was fun to watch him rip on that thing. It has twice the power of the Honda and is lighter.
