There were a few mentions about how this was supposed to be a dead engine start and it was not. Even Cody Webb brought it up During the race. Had it actually been chances are Ty would have been out front first since the Alta has an unfair advantage. They wouldn’t have been able to avoid...

Miscalculated? I’m sure the full story will come soon. 30 minutes in I think they said he was 17th. Zero footage on the broadcast. Three mentions and an interview with Lyndon is all they gave us.

Funny you should say that, when I charged with 220v at home I thought it seemed slower than with my generator. I never did look into it further. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+check+220+voltage&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=rPmvQk7KSckFuM:

True, it shouldn’t have left from new and it certainly shouldn’t have left the second time.

I watched that entire “Scramble Talk”... it should have been called KTM talk, not one single mention about this being the first time an electric bike enters this race. :mad: I’m watching the race now, they were literally RIGHT NEXT to Ty on the starting line and they decided to go back a few...

I’d agree with those assumptions. I’d be upset.

Thats rotten... that should have never left the shop! ONE JOB!!! :mad:

Haha, thats funny! A buddy of mine who is an old die hard gas and oil guy I had him ride mine, he came back with this big grin and goes "I didn't want to like it... but I kinda do!". It was priceless. What size tire did you go with in the back? Thanks for sharing (y)

Possibly, but since Mark911’s very early 17 MX and Phillips ‘17 also broke it would be a very big batch. Probably needed to know just for record keeping.

Awesome! Thanks for the update!

That appears to look like the current “standard “ 2.7kW charger of 2018.

The way the website words this maybe should be changed, or we need to stop referring to them as standard and rapid/fast and use 2.7kW and 3.3kW instead. This wording would lead me to believe the best the “standard” charger can do is 3 hours on 110v, which would be wrong for two reasons if I’m...

He says towards the bottom “Charging at 240VAC is faster than charging at 110VAC”. So apparently they don’t like assigning a number to it officially. I never actually timed mine from fully discharged but the charging rates I’ve seen using the standard charger on 240v would seem consistent...

A subscriber to the Tim Taylor school of thought I see! Well, you got me there, we have not debated pull behind military generators... You would however be able to run all your friends Alta chargers at the same time should that ever become a thing :D

We’ve debated just about everything imaginable, european generators, inverters, step up transformers, etc. The most practical solution if you need to charge away from shore power is a typical home backup power generator like you would find at a home improvement store. @Philip has already...

Haven’t the warning light issues been related to battery temperature on our Altas? I guess they probably monitor both though.

So paddle tire... yes or no? :p

My friends tell me I should strap on my scuba gear and go for it. You don’t need a cameraman, GoPros are waterproof!

I just recently learned that a fellow Alta owner has been operating under the idea that the standard charger only runs on 110v, and the rapid only 240v as was explained to him by the dealer. This is only further complicated by the wording on the website that seperarates charging times as rapid...
