Can-Am’s electrified journey took a curious turn with a new patent that might reveal their next motorcycle. I know the Canadian brand has plans for at least two more platforms using its liquid-cooled electric powertrain, but this one’s got everyone scratching their heads.

I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of Cam-Am’s Ryker or any of the other reverse trikes out there. Trikes in general reverse or otherwise just don’t do it for me.

With that said, this review of the Ryker by FortNine is absolutely fantastic and almost makes we want to like them.
