HP is not a good number to evaluate an electric motor with, or to use to compare it to a gas engine. With an electric motor developing almost 100% torque from RPM 1, it feels a lot stronger than the HP rating will indicate. The formula for HP is (RPM * T) / 5252. Since the formula has RPM in...

What date? I will be riding the COBDR the first week of September, but otherwise should be here.

Took a little ride today in the Boise foothills. Had a pretty good rain yesterday so no dust and cooler temps so all in all awesome day to ride and back home before 1230. Interestingly, my battery consumption seemed really low to me. I ended up riding 37 miles of single track and fire roads...

You could just redo your seat with something like the kit from Seat Concepts or I believe there is another seat company out there with products for Alta's

Sorry to hear that, but completely understand. Best of luck on your recovery.

Who is still up for this? At last count we had 10 owners who had expressed an interest in riding this. Me, @Silent But Dirty @ElectroBraap @revoltlution @Bionicman @Redwolf @Mark911 @Speedkills @SuburbanDad @p0wn listed in sign up order. @TCMB371 also expressed an interest but it was...

15-21 miles. Course is different every year so the length changes.

Awesome, good luck. Looking forward to hearing how things go and any lessons we can take to planning for the 24 Hour of Starvation Ridge race in October. :lurker:

EMF shield to avoid detection of the unfair holeshot police.

Sounds like a good time. Dates should work, but let me check with my social director (wife). Any other Alta riders who want to join us in Boise are also welcome.

Took a drive over to Mackay in eastern Idaho this past weekend for a Memorial ride. Mackay is a very small (about 450 population) old mining town that is very bike/ATV friendly. ATVs and side by sides are allowed on all streets other than the main highway passing through town. Lots of rocky...

Cool, I like it. How far will it go? I wonder what it would be like riding a bike with two smaller motors for AWD?

Pretty good article. I do see myself as a closet environmentalist in that I am willing to put my $$$ to help the environment and satisfy my environment beliefs. What I am not willing to do is sacrifice life style or quality of life for it. For me solar, Alta and Tesla satisfy all of those. :D

That sucks, sorry to hear that. How is your back doing? Hope you are still able to ride, but as @Redwolf said, you are welcome in the cheering section.

I got out this weekend. Did about 30 miles of trails and dirt roads around Boise. Beautiful weekend. Sunny but cool, I think the high was about 75-80F but much cooler in the mountains at altitude. On a side note, I did use my Bike Binderz tie down system for the first time. Awesome. I...

I was waiting to see how the team did on the NE 24 hour race at the end of July to see how we want to proceed and how many of the people who expressed interest were still able/willing to participate. I am still in, but will be on the slower team. I am interested in completing the race without...

Could it be the 9v battery?

I would start with the air cleaner. Clean air is a necessity for all engines.

That is what I did. If I remember correctly I used the two holes that are closest together. I had to enlarge one of the holes to fit the bar clamp bolt and then trimmed off the rest.

Might want to check with Moto One KTM in Nampa ID. I know they set up an EX for the Boise Fire Department to use for rescues in the Boise foothills so they map be able to help.
