I'm of the mind (having owned Teslas for the last 8 years) that Tesla's move into battery production will slow their adoption of new battery tech. They will have to justify the (huge) capital expenditure of that factory even if new tech comes out. On the flip side, it was their belief that the...

Depends on the cell chemistry. It could be (assuming you have adequate cooling) but the cell life will be MUCH shorter.

Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement everyone. I don't yet know what kid of rider I'll be. The idea of jumping is scary to me at the moment so I don't think I'll be going straight into MX. During our lesson we spent most of the time at what was labelled as an XC course and I really liked...

Hi everyone. Just to follow up on this thread. The pick-up went great. Shout out to Ajax Motorsports in OKC. Also, my son and I had our first lesson on Tuesday. The facility had an XC track and we spent most of our lesson there as it had a nice variety of terrain and turns and such for the...

Yes, plan for ~4kW for the Alta. I'm leaning towards the Honda myself. I like how they split the power between the 120 and 240 outlets vs the Yamaha. I will eventually have and additional ~1kW of 120V load spread across the other 3 ebikes in the family (2 Kubergs and an Oset) and would like...

What was the SOC (State of Charge/Charge Level) when you saw 2800? The charger will taper the charge is the battery fills. You'll typically only see full charge power when the battery is quite low. One example I've used for people is equate it to filling a glass of water to the very top...

Yeah, I was hesitant too. I know they've been big into other kinds of gear but not helmets. But they claim to have spent the last 5 years working on it. Day 1 with it was flawless, though I'm super slow. It's light and ventilation felt good.

Clean power for sensitive electronics is <6% THD. Inverter generators from the big boys will be below 3%. Here's an article to read more: Inverter Generators Review: How To Choose

I believe he's thinking you could sling them over the rear part of the seat for a passenger to keep their feet off the ground/chain.

I picked up this one on Saturday: Supertech M10 Meta Helmet It's my first MX helmet so nothing to compare it to but it fits well and feels comfy when I've ridden around the yard so far. First riding lesson is tonight so we'll see how it (and I) do.

If it ran biodiesel then it would be green :)

This is just one of those things that will become common knowledge with EVs. Just like "everyone knows" you have to adjust your jetting when you change altitude or a myriad other bits of knowledge that are "common" to ICEs. We will just learn to do the calculations you did above as a natural...

I've been looking into generators (Honda EU700iS or Yamaha EF6300i) and both of those have floating neutrals. I would think we'd be hearing about this issue with all generators. Does the Alta charger have its own GFCI? That could be an issue. The 120V cable for my Tesla Roadster had a GFCI...

Ha, love how this has devolved into pics and videos of jumping roadracing bikes. Let's just say I'm not THAT good. Though it's interesting that so many road racing tracks on which bikes lose contact with the ground are in the UK (Cadwell, Isle of Man, etc). Straight nutters they are. Anyway...

Thanks! @Judaslefourbe reached out to me already about the adapter. Loving that Alta customer service so far!

The dealer won't provide an adapter but using the instructions in the other thread I plan to build one. Didn't look too tough. As for rim locks, I'm planning to go Tubliss. Since it's an EXR I'm worried about high speed balance with a rim lock (this is the road racer in me coming out - I am...

Hey now, let's not get into a road racing vs dirt racing thing. Both are exciting and dangerous. :cool: I hope to learn a lot from dirt riding and I expect it to improve my asphalt riding. I've done a couple flat-track schools that were part of road racing schools to work on my throttle...

This is our plan. This place: https://jteamracing.com is our closest track and they offer private lessons. I'm such a newb I had to go look up Ronnie Mac. Of course that was good for over an hour down the Internet Rabbit Hole....:geek:

Good idea to validate that charging works. The dealership has a 240V L14-30 plug they use (they sent me a picture of it when I asked them what plug came on the rapid charger).

I'll own an EXR in 6 days so I'm calling it :)
