too much fun...

Great photos. What rear tire is that?

Great info, thanks. Zero are using pouch cased cells and not the more familiar 18650 cylinder cells. They do it mainly for space saving. Is there a possibility that Alta are using these kind of cells as well? Just curious..

The battery explanation is great, and the fact that you ride a EX is even greater. We are surrounded by MXRs... 😉 Welcome to the forum @bluefxstc

What do you guys think about this fender eliminator? Can help the EX/SM guys to turn it to a more sporty version. The MX/MXR riders can use it for on road riding with the needed accesories...

When I owned a Zero electric motorcycle, we reached the conclusion that regen does not add much to the battery capacity. Sometimes, turning regen off (possible in the Zero) and coasting when the throttle is off, will get you further.

Copy paste to that. Agree with everything Steve suggested.

Great to hear the Alta LHRB kit is out. The price is even lowerthan I expected. I couldn't wait and installed the Rekluse kit. Works well and retain the foot brake.

He whiskey throttled it by instinct. That is where a clutch lever is handy, and could have saved him..

Apart from the chargers, the SM & MXR are completely different. What type of riding are you planning to do?

I like the more refine look of Philip's 2017 black & white MX. This is what I would choose. That said, this metalic orange Redshift looks interesting.

Thanks Philip for the comparison. No wonder the MXR is Alta's best sellerr, by far...

When comparing both bikes, is there something that the MX does better than the MXR?

Almost impossible to do. It is not really an option. If you want to ride outside the closed course, you need to purchase a licenced bike in the first place.

😀😀😀

Thanks for the clarification guys. Amazing how different these rules are from country to country (and state to state).

Just curious to know - don't you have insurance problems with these bikes? What I mean is that, in Israel, it's out of the question to ride outside a closed course with a vehicle that is not road permitted (only the EX and SM are permitted). If you accidently hit a bicycle, hiker and such, you...

Currently, there are 2 Alta Redhifts (both EX) in Israel. You already know the owner of 50% of them 😀 There should be more, but I doubt the MX and MXR will get here, because they are not road legal, and allowed to ride in closed courses only. Israel is an Enduro paradise, so it will be a major...

I wish there were other Redshifts around here to test (Israel). Really curious about the different maps, suspension and such.

Hi Scott, Based on this forum, it seems that 90% of Redshifts sold are MXRs. Does this correlate to your statistics as well? Or, is this a hard core motocross forum? 😉
