    Electric Mountain Bikes

    That's awesome Mark, I love that Haibike!! I made the mistake of looking at Haibike online, good grief their stuff looks gooood. I bought a 2017 leftover Trek Powerfly 8, it's pretty well equipped. I haven't really ridden a mtn bike in several years so I am totally out of shape, I used to...

    Electric Mountain Bikes

    Anyone tried one of these things yet? They're pretty damn cool!! I haven't ridden a mtn bike in years and first time out, I rode 22 miles pretty easily and had a ball, they haven't banned these bikes (yet) at all the mtn bike designated trails around here which are pretty awesome, I'm hoping...

    Aftermarket fender eliminator for Alta

    I like it, seeing as how I've yet to spend a nickel on the bike, I could at least spring for some upgrades. Sure beats exhaust and power commanders:)

    Motor warning due to overheat

    My temp light came on my first day of ownership, took the SM down my favorite twisty road and was playing with a Porsche Caymen, I couldn't very well let him get the best of me so the old road racer in me put the hammer down, had no issue in the tight stuff but when the road opened up, I was...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    Philip, that 2 hp increase would be nice I guess, I'll ask about that when I'm there for the update for 240 charging. I spoke with my electrician buddy today and was told that doing a custom plug would be no problem at all, I know it'll only save a few hours charge time but I'll take it...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    snydes, I think my bike has 40hp where the 18" is 42, I got the first one at my dealer in September but my MSO had model year 2108 on it, it is registered as a 2018, if I remember correctly, according to the Alta site, it had 40 hp but now it states that it has 42, same torque however (and...

    Philip, that helps seeing that plug. Correct me if I'm wrong but that short power cord looks like what I'd need to plug into my bike without modification (the female part). The male part would be the desired outlet to be wired in to my garage. I guess?

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    Oded, I tried that, my dealer has SM's sitting on the floor, tried another dealer and they didn't want to trade either, also tried selling the bike in favor of the EX, had one $7000 offer on it, I was an early buyer and paid the higher price for my bike, I can't lose $8 grand in 5 months (600...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    That'd be awesome!! Going to try to take the bike to the dealer this week for the update. I have an electrician friend to do the plug in the garage for me, anything I should tell him, as far as what kind of outlet? Sorry for my ignorance on this...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    There's a firmware update available that'll allow the bike to charge at 220 in about 4 hrs vs 6-7, BUT, you have to have the right kind of plug I'm guessing that'll go from the wall outlet to the standard plug of the included charge cord that is designed for standard 110 wall sockets. Honestly...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    My SM gets around 40-45 miles of easy use, speeds under 50 mph, I typically ride in mode 4, my mileage varies very little between modes, it's all in how you twist the grip. I've yet to get the update done on my bike to charge at 220, as you all know, the SM has the on board charger, typical...

    Alta Redshift SM

    Thanks, it's a good looking bike to me too, I get a lot of comments since it's a street bike, lots of questions too. As you know there are lots of variables on range, I get around 40-45 miles on a charge IF I'm taking it easy, the SM has the onboard charger so you could charge at work:) I...

    Gear oil change

    The oil does come out pretty clean but look at your magnetic drain plug and you'll see why it needs to be changed. Like Oded said, "peace of mind"...
