    Live StreamInterview with Alta Motors Co-Founder Marc Fenigstein TODAY

    I wouldn’t have an MX bike without the Alta - the time involved with cleaning air filters, case oil, doing top ends is just not something I’m willing to do at my age / plus the ability to ride at any time of day / plus the street legal EXR / I ride the Alta pretty much daily versus waiting for...

    It has been stated before but worth stating again Harley has been and still is the grim reaper of the US motorcycle industry it will be great when there baby boomer lemming customers can’t ride those crapy bikes anymore because they all have arthritis from vibration, cancer from the exhaust...

    Inverter gross anatomy

    Thank you for this explanation - I never really understood the Alta power system until you explained it - I was thinking it was a bigger version of an an electric bicycle but it is actually a mini Tesla (sort of) One last question, I assume the capacitor stores power so it can be rapidly...

    Is the Alta motor AC or DC

    Inverter gross anatomy

    I thought the whole system is DC - why does it need an AC converter?

    Inverter gross anatomy

    Great job taking this apart - have always been curious what’s inside so thanks I actually don’t understand what the inverter does in the system - I’m used to an electric motor with a controller so this is foreign to me.

    Electric clutch

    That electric clutch is exactly what I would want on the Alta or any electric bike - feather the clutch in the corners, or pop up the front wheel etc That is awesome to see they have it in production

    About the modifications - Alta did a great job making these bikes ready to ride. Each modification I did was a response to something I felt I needed to change or something annoying about the stock part. Interesting that when I rode a stock Alta without my personal mods I had a hard time riding...

    1000 Miles On The EXR Today

    Regarding the half throttle, basically you just cut the throttle body shorter - I left the throttle on the bike and cut it using a pipe cutter (round and round until you get through and it makes a nice even cut) Then you install a new grip - thin one on the throttle and a thick one for the...

    I doubt that eBay light is really 50 watts but it has about the same brightness as the Baja Designs Sport so plenty bright

    1000 Miles On The EXR Today

    The 50 watt light bar off eBay worked - I don’t know why. The squadron Sport also works with no issues but the squadron pro didn’t work - I assume it had to much draw and the Alta software shut it down. Regarding the signal lights the only ones I found that work are from New Rage Cycle (NEC)...

    Call it the Houston Electric Hooligans. There is Alta Ed who lives up North - he has four Alta’s, one of each type I believe - he is recovering from a major shoulder injury however. FYI - Ed is the Vice President of The Sam Houston Trails Association who administers the multi-use trails. On a...
