Is there an issue with motor or inverter cooling? I thought the cooling issues were in the battery since it does not have active cooling like the motor and inverter.

"Cool" grandparent. :ricky:

On my bike it is not. The display is mounted to the factory mount and the vault just slips over and then mounts to the triple clamp using the same mounting holes as the factory display mount. I used longer screws which were included with the vault. The factory mount is sandwiched between the...

Pretty obvious, I just removed the headlight to make it easier, unbolted the display from the triple clamps, slipped the vault over the display and bolted everything back together. I didn't use the brackets to mount it also to the handelbar clamp, not sure it is necessary, but can easily do...

Ran out of money, the real question is why, and that we don't know the answer too.

Bike is in Medford OR, just listed in Sacramento Craigslist, along with others.

Highly interested and love the bike, but this is an investment so I would need to see the business plan to understand what I am investing in, and what the plan is to make Alta Motors a profitable business with a future. I am not interested in investing money just to have Alta collapse again.

I have EX #027 and I have different regen in the various maps than advertised by Alta in the EX spec sheet. On my bike only minor regen difference between map 1 & 2 with map 3 being noticeably stronger and map 4 stronger still. You can definitely feel the difference and I measured the distance...

14Vdc at 220 A is 3080W (14*220=3080. The fast charger is 3800W (see post #30) so not sure what would happen. You would also have some conversion losses in the inverter, probably 3-5%, which wouldn't help. @Philip, are you using the fast charger with your van setup and what kind of...

Don't know anything about this. I just saw it while looking at Craigslist. If you are looking for MXR doesn't seem like a bad deal. If someone buys this let me know and I will change the prefix to sold. 2018 ALTA REDSHIFT MXR 136 miles

Awesome, love to have you. I think that is 11 of 12 for two teams of 6. I will put out a list of eveyone who has expressed an interest when i get back. Too old to effectively work from a fablet. :)

@Rix, you should come race with us in the 24 Hours of Starvation Ridge race. 10 Alta riders have expressed an interest so 2 riders short of two teams now.

done, and any other Alta riders that want to join us are certainly welcome.

Ordered, many thank for your help keeping my EX running

I would be surprised if they break the pack down and charge at a lower voltage. That would increase the current and the weight of the wires to carry the extra current. The bike is already slightly heavier than its gas counterparts so they would want to make it as light as possible. All of the...

Communication between charger and bike is CAN so more dynamic than J1772 which is basically just signal levels. The car tells the EVSE that it is plugged in, EVSE tells the car how much current it can give and charging starts. The car/car charger handles all the rest. With CAN there is a lot...

I am in for Boise. Lots of trails right around Boise, but with a 10-60 mile drive litterally thousands of miles of trails and dirt roads. Only reason you need to trailer the Alta is because of range limitations. :ricky: I have riden my DRZ from the Nevada boarder to the Canadian boarder on the...

With the apparent demise of Alta it looks like we are going to be relying on each other and videos like this in the future to support our bikes. It would be nice if we could find all the training/maintenance videos Alta made and make them available to current Alta owners.

Anyone know if the video about removing the HV battery is available? I didn't see it on Alta's YouTube channel or in the video section on the forum, but may have missed it. Might be nice to have a maintenance video section, just an idea.

Since you are going to have both an EX and an SM, probably the easiest way to accomplish the conversion is to swap the relevant parts between the bikes so that your EX becomes an SM and your SM becomes the EX. I believe the basic frame, motor, inverter, battery... are all the same between the...
