What is the priority here? :ricky: Just kidding, understand if you can't make it, but would love to have you. You are one of the fast guys.

Race is still on and it is 25 hours instead of 24 due to day light savings. Gives us an extra lap or two.

@SuburbanDad , @p0wn, @Jared, @revoltlution you guys interested this year?

I'm in, I think. It kind of depends on what happens with Covid. Lots of social distancing on the course, but the pits is a different story and not sure about mask in the pit. Would hate to get exposed especially since I am in the 60+ crowd now. 3 riders would be doable and keep a rider out...

Not sure if they make one for Alta but they make them for other bikes so some modification may be needed. Snow Bikes & Systems | Timbersled

Anyone thought about using the existing shrouds as a mold and laying up a thin s glass or carbon fiber cover that smooths out the ribs? It wouldn't have to be strong as it wouldn't be structural, just something to cover the ribs when your knees slide over them.

Too much twisting of the right wrist. Bike went forward , rider didn't. :ricky:

I wonder how the Alta would do on the spin cycle? :eek:

About 1.4kw on 120Vac and 2.7kw on 240Vac. If you run the rapid charger on 120Vac it should only be about 1.4kw also since a standard 15A 120Vac outlet will only provide a max of 1.8kw so they limit the output to avoid throwing circuit breakers. You could use something like a Kil-A-Watt meter...

Try contacting the guys at Elcon Chargers. Pretty sure they supplied the standard chargers to Alta. They may be able to help.

Did you offer to pay them to use the outlet? As a state run track I can kind of understand it. That doesn't mean that I like it or agree with it, but by letting you use the outlet for free, they are effectively paying for your fuel which they do not do for anyone with a gas powered bike. As a...

The issue I see with Chademo in the US, is there are not a lot of charge stations available, and almost none of them are where I want to ride my EX. Looking at a Plug Share charging station map, there is one Chademo station in Boise and the next closest station is about 45 freeway miles away...

Epic is one way to look at it. I think L3 will provide something like 100kw so if you don't have good cooling and control it could be very epic. On the other hand you are looking at about a 3 minute charge at that level. :eek: With the right control infrastructure you could spool that down...

It has been a long time since I actually looked at the control circuits needed to provide the necessary signals. I think J1772 also has a proximity switch/signal that also needs to be addressed (prox in the diagram below). I looked into building my own J1772 comm board, but in the end I just...

Yes In addition to the plug, J1772 is basically a communication protocol and a switch. The communication tells the Alta charger how much current the EVSE (Level 1, 2 or 3) equipment can provide and that it is plugged in. We really don't need the current information since even the fast charger...

I have used these in the past for J1772 communication in the past with pretty good luck. I don't know of any way to program an Alta charger to handle the J1772 communication. It may be possible, but is way beyond my programming ability.

Thank you @Philip , and all the other site Admins, for everything you do for the site. Your efforts don't go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated by everyone here.

You don't even need to truck it home, you can just ride it. Uber there and ride home. It was meant for you! :LOL:

Try that on a 2 stroke without pissing off your neighbors. :ricky:
