Can-Am wooed the crowds by showcasing its first fully electric T-homologated ATV at last month’s LAMMA event.
The new ATV has been designed by BRP’s R&D team to combine the ability to easily and efficiently handle the demands of utility users and the multitude of terrains they work across with a quiet emission-free operation.
The Outlander Electric is powered by Rotax’s E-Power powerpack, which is the same as the one that powers BRP’s electric motorcycles and snowmobiles, delivering 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque and up to 80 km (50 miles) of range in optimal conditions. It features instant throttle response, selectable ride modes (Normal, Sport, Work) and charges from 20 to 80 per cent in just 50 minutes using a Level 2 charger, so there is less down time for the machine.
Towing
In addition, it has the Can-Am DNA on full display with 830kg of towing capacity as well as the same carrying capacities of the Outlander HD5 and Outlander HD7, which are 55kg on the front and 109kg on the rear.
It also has the ability to be customised to handle numerous jobs with the help of more than 120 accessories, which include the new LinQLite accessories, auxiliary lights with the new 10” LED bar and a complete cargo offering, to name but a few.
Can-Am’s other ATVs were headlined by the new Outlander 6×6 700 DPS T, the next evolution of the 6×6 range of ATVs. It comes with a completely new chassis with a 830kg capacity for towing and a 454kg capacity for its cargo bed. It also comes with power steering as standard and the selectable 4×6 and 6×6 options enable it to easily tackle a multitude of terrains. A handlebar speed limiter has a programmed minimum speed of 8km per hour.
