The tunable maps will be confined to reasonable limits. Works well for the Zero range of electric motorcycles (parameters are user tunable via smartphone app). Don't see a reason why Alta can't provide such feature.
a longer video showing some enduro riding (and few falls) with the EX & KTM 250.
so much fun!
(Philip, feel free to move the thread to the videos section, if you find it more suitable).
Great report and I agree with most of your points (I ride the EX).
Hand gurads are a must, and the cycra probend is an excellent choice.
I also replaced the stock tires with a more road suited pair - Pirelli MT43. Terrific for road, off road and last quite long. They are trial - enduro tires...
For the terrain in the video, map 2 is my favorite. For hill climbs with more open gas - map 3.
However, it all comes down to how delicate you are with the throttle. Its resolution allows the bike to crawl up loose terrain.
The Alta is terrific in tractor mode - steep loose rocks and gravel hills.
using the clutch in such terrain is quite tiring.
this video is from today. trust me, the incline is much steeper than it looks..
Most definately my EX have different regen between different maps as well. It can not be mistaken.
I actually use map 4 for steep descends for its motor braking.
Alta should know about this issue.
I also think that your requirements are perfect for the EX. I'd start with the standard charger, and only if it won't be enough, get a second one.
The bike is a pleasure to ride.
Electric Motion (french off road electric motorcycles) added that feature in their 2019 line of bikes. The left hand lever controls the amount of motor braking.

My suggestion with an electric bike is to always always switch to off when you are off the bike, or even when on the bike, but on a break.
No engine sound or clutch to modulate the power, so the throttle can be accidently twisted. Make it a habbit.
major differences from the 2018 EX -
newer MXR battery pack, and WP Xplor suspension.
also changed the gear ratio to 12:53 (was 13:53).
the dimensions changed a bit, like seat height in the EXR is 36.5 (was in EX 38.17).
charge time is shorter by about 30 minutes.
so basically, for my type of...
