Sort of peripheral to this conversation. But since you mentioned Stacyc, I see they’re introducing new 18” and 20” bikes for bigger kids. Saw the ad on the last Supercross broadcast. These would have definitely been on the list for my kids when they were younger.

Josh Hill doing typical Josh Hill shenanigans. Mostly Alta. (Kinda looks like he might have a code 36 on his bike maybe?) Then he switches to his gas bike and promptly wipes out.

Also WMR Motorsports in Florida. https://wmr1.com/blogs/news/wmr-becomes-first-stark-future-dealer

We also have another thread on this video. https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/killing-alta.2542/

Dogs and diggers and kids and motorbikes. What more does a guy need? Sounds like fun should be had by all. Interesting they complained about the dirt bikes but not the heavy equipment noise.

One area I don’t think has been mentioned yet is having a “clutch-like” feature for coasting. More of a regen disable button. I do miss being able to coast down a hill or on the flat without my hand on the throttle. Regen on the Alta will bring the bike to a stop pretty quickly. Overall, I like...

But all CAPS makes it louder, which defeats the purpose of the stealthy electric bike. So don’t overdue it.

The final round is the two surviving competitors using bb guns at 10 paces to pop each others bubble wrap. It is both addicting and soothing to watch.

Just different stickers. We all know stickers add at least 20hp. Some fonts are faster than others, with san serifs offering the most weight savings. I once added 100hp to a 1976 Pinto by swapping out some Mustang II stickers.

I was thinking more along these lines…

Replace the shooting with jousting, and I would definitely watch that olympic event.

That is really an A-pack vs R-pack thing. The A-pack tends to drop off sooner than the R-pack. The last 15% really drops off fast. I’ve noticed this on my MX vs my MXR. The SM is an A-pack bike.

This thread has a lot of the parts: https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/list-of-aftermarket-products-for-the-alta.334/ For the rear brakes, I used the 2014 KTM SXF 450 stock rotors. I am pretty sure the fronts would work as well.

Why can they never just show us the bike? It is always this shadowy outline of vague shapes and bad lighting with soft focus and mystery parts. Oooh, the new motorcycle seems to have a wheel and some kind of seat thingy! Oh joy. Not. If Stark did anything right in its launch video, it was...

This calls for some kind of reality show on TLC, maybe called “Keeping up with the Haskells.” The crew will film you 24 hours a day as you agonize over the delivery of your bike, wait extra months as production gets pushed back, sit on the toilet obsessing over online Varg-icles (articles about...

Too bad this Auto Train option only goes between VA and FL. It used to go across the country at one point, I think. https://www.amtrak.com/auto-train-experience

And all this time I thought Stellantis was a drug to help with erectile dysfunction. Learn something new every day! https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/fca-archive/press/stellantis-the-name-of-the-new-group-resulting-from-the-merger-of-fca-and-groupe-psa

I ride the Mobius, and they are comfortable. They seem to stay in place well. Once I start riding, I don’t really notice them. They take a while to put on, as you have to adjust the straps each time (no quick-clip option). I can’t really compare to other braces as I haven’t worn other ones. I...

I don't think I've seen this one posted on here before. Not sure how I never saw this vid until my son told me about it. I guess it was because it came out before I heard of the Alta. Plot: In the near future, Alta takes over the motorcycle world. At least that was the case until Ronnie...

Frankly, I think the roadside assistance companies have to start providing options for EVs now that they are becoming popular. It can't just be a gallon of gas and a jump start stuff. They may need to start carrying generators in their trucks, it they are not already. I know AAA had some...
