A search is underway for a North Apollo man who is wanted for the armed robbery of a motorcycle in Indiana County.
Jacob Shane Penrose, 39, has been charged with multiple felonies, including robbery and theft, after allegedly stealing a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle at gunpoint from a 27-year-old victim on Wednesday.
Troopers said the robbery occurred in the 200 block of Indiana Road in Creekside Borough around 7 p.m. when the victim was attempting to sell his motorcycle to Penrose. During the transaction, Penrose allegedly displayed a firearm while sitting on the motorcycle, aimed it at the victim and then fled the scene.
The victim pursued Penrose in his vehicle while communicating with police dispatchers, providing updates on Penrose’s location until he lost sight of him near Old Route 56 Highway West and West Lebanon Road.
During the pursuit, Penrose reportedly dropped the gun, a revolver, which was later recovered by police along with the stolen motorcycle on a hillside.
Despite an extensive search involving multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Pennsylvania State Police Aviation Patrol Unit and K9 teams, Penrose remains at large.
Penrose is described as approximately 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and 200 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on the front of his neck. He was last seen wearing a black cut-off t-shirt and blue jeans.
Authorities are urging anyone with information on Jacob Shane Penrose’s whereabouts to contact Troop A, Indiana at 724-357-1960 as the search continues.
It wasn’t until your average electric car started managing 200 miles on a charge that the buying populace started getting over their range anxiety. That means electric motorcycles, with ranges often measured in double digits, remain a bit of a tough sell for mass-market buyers.
The focus, then, seems to be “for a good time, not a long time,” and that’s very much the case of the Can-Am Origin. This $14,499 battery-powered dual-sport is a fun, flickable, go-anywhere two-wheeled smile factory that I sadly managed to run dry of electrons in under 45 miles.
Thankfully, there’s a lot more to the story than just that.
Forward-looking
Can-Am has been around since the early ’70s, offering a series of two-, three-, and four-wheeled vehicles, most focusing on extreme performance over extreme terrain. Since the very beginning, Can-Am has worked with Austrian engine gurus Rotax, and that trans-Atlantic partnership enters the EV age with the Origin, a dual-sport motorcycle from Can-Am built around a powertrain developed by Rotax.
The result is an 8.9-kWh battery (about 10 percent the size of the one in a Tesla Model 3) serving as the core of a motorcycle built to be just as capable off-road as on. The Origin sits squarely in the dual-sport category of motorcycles, and its skinny, nobbily tires and wire wheels definitely fit that template, even if the single-sided swingarm with its integrated chain is a novelty in this segment.All of that is wrapped in just enough bodywork to give this thing a decidedly futuristic vibe, especially that upright fairing with the blunt, stacked headlight that makes this thing look like an escaped drone from Valve’s Portal series.
My test bike had just a bit of color, the battery pack itself providing a splash of yellow to stand out from the otherwise dark frame and fairing, but the brightest part is actually the 10.25-inch LCD that serves as the cockpit. It even supports Apple CarPlay, in case you’re into that sort of thing.
Brightness needed
The LCD display is bright and easy to use.
(Tim Stevens for Engadget)
I’ve ridden a fair few electric motorcycles over the years, and many of them are cursed with dim LCDs that make it a struggle to see how fast I’m going on a sunny day. That’s not what you’d call safe.
Thankfully, the Origin does not have that issue. The LCD here is not only massive but bright and crisp, and serves up a software interface that’s mostly intuitive and easy to use at a glance. My only complaint here is the giant warning disclaimer that pops up every single time you fire up the motorcycle. I suppose such a thing was inevitable, but it does take away some of the purity of the ride experience.
But then the Origin isn’t afraid to throw out convention. The throttle is the best example of that. It actually twists both ways. Twist it in the traditional direction, pulling your hand towards yourself, and it, of course, applies throttle to the bike and accelerates you forward.
But you can also twist the throttle away from you, which boosts the regenerative braking to the rear wheel. You can also toggle the bike into reverse mode, where that backwards throttle enables you to creep the bike backwards. That’s useful because at 412 pounds, the Origin is about 50 pounds heavier than a comparable dual-sport bike with an engine.
The controls on the left grip.
(Tim Stevens for Engadget)
The motorcycle also features a bevy of controls on the left grip, starting with standard fare like headlight flasher, horn and turn signals. But there’s also a rocker switch for changing drive modes and navigating through menus, a button that cycles through various views on the display, and a back button in case you dig a little deeper in a menu than you meant.
There’s even a full series of media controls. There’s a button to toggle the voice assistant on your phone, buttons for adjusting the volume of media playback and even buttons to skip forward and backward in your current playlist.
Personally, I’m the kind of rider who likes to listen to the wind, my thoughts and the ominous sounds approaching SUVs driven by morons browsing TikTok. But if you have a riding playlist that you like to spin, you’ll have full control here.
Ride time
The saddle strikes a good balance between comfort and sport.
(Tim Stevens for Engadget)
I don’t often fit well on dual-sport machines. I stand six feet tall, but do it on disproportionately short legs. That usually leaves me tottering on tiptoes whenever riding an off-road-minded motorcycle. I cringed when the Origin rolled off a truck and into my life for the evaluation period, but I was pleasantly surprised to find I could straddle it with no problem.
A 34-inch seat height enables me to stand flat-footed without having to break out platform boots, and on the go, I found the Origin’s ergonomics to fit me just about perfectly. The pegs are wide and grippy, so standing up on them is no problem, and while I’d probably prefer it if the bar stood a fraction of an inch taller, it was close to perfect whether sitting on or standing over the saddle.That saddle is a little on the narrow side compared to your average street motorcycle, but wider than those found on many dual-sport machines, striking a good balance between narrowness for standing and comfort for sitting.
About the only complaint I had was wind buffeting. I generally prefer riding bikes without fairings, but somehow the wind coming off that big, wide display caused some awful turbulence on my helmet when seated in my usual riding position. The $175 optional windshield would be, for me, well worth it.
And what’s it like to ride? This thing is a blast. At 47 horsepower and 53 pound-feet of torque, it’s far from the quickest electric motorcycle on the market, but it has plenty enough twist to beat everything on four wheels at any light, or scrabble up a steep incline.
Can-Am’s Origin is ready for asphalt or dirt.
(Tim Stevens for Engadget)
Even more impressive is the traction control system of the Origin. It’s easy to be a little over-eager when accelerating on an EV, thanks to their instant torque, but the Origin always ensured I neither did an unintentional burnout nor tipped over backwards. It simply managed grip and power to ensure that I accelerated smoothly away, whether I was on asphalt or gravel.The bike has adjustable levels for ABS and traction control, and yes, you can turn them off if you want.
Overall, the Origin was also easy to ride. Those knobby tires do make for a loose feeling on asphalt, the bike moving around a bit thanks to the extra tread, but it’s a worthy tradeoff if you’ll find yourself hitting the dirt on a semi-regular basis.
What you probably won’t find yourself doing is going on long rides in the Origin, sadly. Though Can-Am says you can do up to 90 miles on a charge in the city, even when riding gently on rural roads using the most economical mode, I struggled to get 60 miles. Ridden more aggressively (which is to say, normally), I burned through a charge in less than 45 miles.
That’s the bad news. The good news? There’s an onboard level two charger on the Origin. L2 charging on a car usually means overnight, but since the Origin’s pack is so small, it’ll go from empty to full in under 90 minutes, and you’ll be stopped for less than an hour if you only need a partial charge.
Wrap-up
The relatively quick onboard charging of the Origin does open the door to some longer rides if you can time your meals and charging stops appropriately. And, if you’re doing lower-speed off-road riding, you could realistically go for hours and hours on a charge. Still, this sadly isn’t a long-distance high-speed cruiser.
But it’s rare for a dual-sport machine that’s comfortable enough for you to want to be in the saddle on the highway for that long anyway. For short blasts up the trail or high-speed sprints home after a long day in the office, the Origin is a real treat, and a stylish one at that

LOS ALTOS HILLS – A motorcyclist suffered fatal injuries in a crash Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 280 in Los Altos Hills, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision happened around 5 p.m. in southbound lanes of the freeway at Page Mill Road, the CHP said in a news release.
An initial investigation indicated a 2013 Ducati motorcycle was “splitting traffic at a high rate of speed” when it crashed into the rear of a vehicle in the far left lane, according to the CHP. The rider was thrown onto the roadway and possibly hit by a white Dodge Ram.
The CHP said the motorcyclist was taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries. He was not identified Wednesday.
The driver of the Dodge stopped at the scene, according to the CHP.
“The investigation into this incident is ongoing,” the CHP said in the news release.
Anyone with information related to the case can contact the CHP Redwood City area office at 650-779-2700.
AURORA, Colo — Police in Aurora are investigating a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle that left the rider dead Sunday afternoon.
It happened around 2 p.m. near E. 23rd Avenue and N. Peoria Street.
Police said a man riding a motorcycle was traveling northbound on N. Peoria Street when he collided with a left-turning sedan at the E. 23rd Avenue intersection.
The man was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. His identity will be released by the Adam’s County Coroner’s Office at a later time.
Police believe the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed, which contributed to the crash.
No other injuries were reported. Police said the driver of the sedan was cooperative on the scene.

Ben Affleck is enjoying some family time while his wife Jennifer Lopez is away!
On Wednesday, as his estranged partner was seen having fun in Italy, the actor was photographed riding his motorcycle in Los Angeles with his youngest child Samuel tagging along. The boys could be seen in casual clothes going for a ride in their Brentwood neighborhood (where the Air star is renting a home close to his ex Jennifer Garner‘s pad). The 12-year-old wore sweatpants and a T-shirt while Ben rocked jeans and a navy shirt. Of course, they both had helmets on, too! They were spotted riding through the area before pulling up to a house. See HERE.
As mentioned, this sighting comes amid marriage troubles for the couple — making J.Lo’s solo trip to Positano, Italy a shocker! She just canceled her tour to hang out with friends and family more (a decision that seemed to be made so she could work on her failing relationship), and yet she’s now halfway around the world having a blast on her own! Not the best sign! Especially when you see how happy she looked without Ben!
Not a care in the world! So what does this mean for the relationship?!
As Perezcious readers know, for weeks now, sources have been going back and forth about how dire the situation is for the couple. For a while, it sounded like the Shotgun Wedding star was determined to save the romance no matter what — but now, not so much. The latest Us Weekly insiders have claimed that the duo can no longer see eye to eye on their future together — and that divorce is a big part of the conversation. The source stressed:
“They can’t get on the same page [and] have been discussing divorce as an option.”
Oof. Plus, they’re quietly trying to sell their marital home. Once that’s gone, there won’t be much keeping them together. So, this could all be over soon… unless, maybe this time apart is just the break they needed before figuring things out? We’ll see…
Spontaneous “meetup” and “pop-up” gatherings in outdoor commercial areas and parking lots have dogged area police for the past several years.
Seven people were shot at a pop-up gathering at 100 Lindberg Ave. in Methuen early Sunday. An eighth person suffered a head injury after falling while trying to flee. Authorities said two of the people injured were listed in critical condition.
It’s not the first time a local car meetup has ended in violence. Earlier this spring, a person who went to a similar party on Glen Street in Lawrence was shot. Police learned about the shooting after the victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Fueled by social media posts and indicators, including Snapchat notifications, the meet-ups are attended by young people between roughly 16 and 20 years old. These people are too young to get into clubs, so they meet at outdoor locations to listen to music, dance, drink, vape and smoke marijuana, police said.
Methuen Police Chief Scott McNamara said during a press conference Sunday morning that officers have been monitoring “hot spots” for these “spontaneous meetups.”
Those attending are coming from all over Essex County “and beyond,” District Attorney Paul Tucker said during the press conference.
Police sources said the meetups are primarily fueled through the Snapchat application, which allows messages and photos to be posted and later automatically deleted and locations to be “pinned” or illuminated on maps.
Those who attend often drive souped-up or lowrider vehicles with powerful stereo speakers installed. Others are driving dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles that are illegal to operate on streets and roads. These drivers often congregate in large groups, hoping it gives them anonymity despite the chaos these events often create, police said.
In September, local police and state troopers seized 19 bikes and issued more than 50 citations in a crackdown prompted by complaints about reckless and dangerous operation of motorcycles, dirt bikes and off-road vehicles on public ways.
Local police regularly collaborate with the Massachusetts State Police airwing to pinpoint the meetup gatherings and errant drivers, officers said.
Loud music from pop-up gatherings triggers noise complaints from the immediate area and also from surrounding communities, police said. McNamara said he wanted to stress in the wake of Sunday morning’s incident “that there is no ongoing threat to the larger community.”
“The threat is compartmentalized to the smaller population of people who continue to engage in this type of high-risk behavior,” the chief said.

Riverside, California, June 20, 2017 (Newswire.com)
– Tired of the complexity and high cost of eBay? Tired of the limitations of Craigslist or having someone come to your house to buy something? This may all be changing with the release of a new full-featured classifieds and auction site AffordableClassifieds.com. According to the site’s creator Bill Wolf, the site is specifically designed to serve the Auto, Powersports, RV, and Trailer markets. Powersports includes the Motorcycle, ATV, Side-by-Side, Snowmobile, Watercraft and Snowmobile segments.
What’s different about AffordableClassifieds.com is that it brings together, for the first time, all of these vehicle categories in one convenient location — and for a fraction of the price specialty listing sites charge. The site doesn’t display those pesky ads that pop-up thus preventing viewers from seeing actual content. Consumers can view or list classifieds or auctions for all their motorized needs and dealers are able to place their entire inventory online while saving a tremendous amount over what’s currently available. There’s a host of additional features available to dealers including a private storefront where all of a companies listings, even if they are from multiple categories, will display on a single page. RV listings, for example, display far more information than other listing sites as the Affordable Classifieds system walks those placing ads through a checklist of applicable features. This makes the placement of a listing easier and more informative.
“Affordable Classifieds rivals or surpasses specialty sites serving these segments — but without the complexity and clutter.”
Bill Wolf, President
There’s a lot more to AffordableClassifieds than offering up vehicle listings.

The company has listed an introductory special offer where consumers can lock in a rate of just $1 for all standard listings for an entire year. Visit www.affordableclassifieds.com to view this offer or just register with the limited-time registration code of “1year1dollar.”
