    Battery Bank to charge the Alta

    Yes an external battery you plug your bike into to the charge the bike. Essentially replacing my need for a generator.

    Battery Bank to charge the Alta

    I was talking with a battery builder out of Ohio who will build lithium packs for us that can recharge our bikes at fast charger speeds for one full charge for under $1000. This would include the inverter also. If anyone is interested in this let me know. I am sick of my loud ass generator and...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    If you want to come up to new york and do a hair scramble with me there is one the 10/18th, 10/25th and 11/1st. I can't get a full 2 hours on a charge but they have a team class we could do if interested. It is at a few motocross tracks in central NY. Typically a loop involves a large portion of...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Sorry I haven't created a poll. I have been super busy. I should have time tomorrow hopefully. It sounds like there is going to be a ride down south sometime in the winter no matter what. I am thinking that a lot of people will want to meet in the northeast next year for a larger gathering. I...

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    This print also failed... the filament caught and jammed up the system. Enough printed to figure out some errors to correct though so it wasn't a total loss. I may scrap this design and start from scratch or take another approach. The hard part is it is curved in multiple directions and skews...

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    Still printing. First print failed. Second print in progress. I still think this prototype won't fit exactly right but I will take this one and physically modify it so I know where to fix it on the 3d model and try again.

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    3d printing a prototype today/tomorrow. First one may not work. My idea will cover the whole ribbed area. I will upload a pic of my model later today.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Let's do a vote on location and general time of year? My understanding is there are essentially two locations suggested so far. NY and GA. It sounds like more people would be willing to attend if it is up in the northeast but a vote will be more conclusive. I am not sure how to set up a poll...

    Reverse Gear Switch

    Just thinking out loud here. Would it be possible to put a mechanical switch that reversed polarity on the current coming into the motor switching the direction it spins? Probably would be unsafe and I can't imagine a way to make it off the top of my head but.

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    I started modeling a fix for this but have gotten busy with work and prepping for a trip I am doing next week. Will hopefully pick up where I left off in a week and a half and print out my first idea of a rib filler. Getting the contours of the shroud to line up is a rather enjoyable modeling...

    Drone Ace Meets Freestyle MX Ace

    it looks so much like a video game that it makes me think video games have a more realistic look than I thought lol.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    I like your thoughts and to answer your question about other ride spots, yes. Tall pines which is all trails is open all week and is 45 minutes from my land. Kissing bridge the ski hill that operates as a Moto park in the summer has had varying hours through the years but have included weekdays...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    I road at silver springs on Sunday at a private track rental. It was pretty dry and I hadn't ridden in 10 weeks so I was a bit rusty and was riding conservatively but it was fun. I attached the video here if anyone wants to see what the track is like. @TCMB371 I did a little commentary...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Western NY isn't bad we have a good group of tracks and a few trial locations. I actually live about an hour north up in Rochester but there are about 4 tracks within an hour to go to so not too bad.

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    I can clear out some more space for campers if more people do come in the future. I also found a section of the field that is dryer all year which will help if it rains before an event. Ther is also another riding area about an hour away from my place that is a ski hill with a bunch of trails on...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    We could do multiple events. Durhamtown/highland looks awesome. It seems so that the majority of people who are interested are in the east and northeast so doing another northeast gathering may be a good event to hold separate to a larger one. Just a thought. If we did a northeast gathering at...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    I am curious to all. What kind of event would it take to get you to drive 20 hours or so to come? If we had an official race and created a large EV power sports festival with companies bringing prototypes and pro riders coming with rock bands staged to play in the evenings and if a bunch of the...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    Tall pines is about an hour away from silver springs which is a fun dirtbike track in NY. If we did another in NY people are welcome to stay at my land again if desired or they could stay at tall pines. My land is about 30 minutes form silver springs and 45 to tall pines. I do love the idea of...
