    Complete Battery Pack Teardown

    Nothing new . . . . . . .

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    Nobody (except Alta, and we saw what happened to them/us) wants to be the first to this particular market. If one of the big 6 invests in something that'll be as good as or better than our bike it'll be lots more than $25-50M down the tubes if it fails to sell. Way more. So, just do enough...

    The R pack wirebond issue

    You can prevent future throttle faults due to reverse rotation by removing the reverse spring inside the throttle and epoxy shut the little spring cavity (keep the tiny reverse plunger in place). Some folks didn't want to do this because we assumed Alta would release a variable braking or...

    Battery Cooling

    It's everything, too low temp, too high temp, too much temp gradient, too quickly, etc, etc. Until we fully understand the algorithms within the Firmware all we can do is speculate based on indirect evidence (our ride files). Even the amount of limiting is variable, and there's a low limit...

    Blatant Moto - Dirt tracker

    Does it come with a compression release? Lol.

    Alta kit bike

    As I recall, the KTM swingarm is about 1 inch longer than the Alta even though the wheelbases are similar. Since the swingarm pivot point is a typical datum for much of the bike's geometry one could conclude that simply swapping parts as shown would result in a "front heavy" bike, probably...

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    Again, speculation

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    Strictly speculation.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    Thanks for the pic! No gearbox . . . . . similar layout to the Alta, motor and gear reduction.

    Honda CR Electric! Yes!

    I'm surprised they went with a relatively production looking frame. Unlike Alta, they decided to de-link the drivetrain from the main structural load path. However, the drivetrain looks to be very well integrated. I wish there was a left side view, looking to see if it's got a shift lever and...

    Alta kit bike

    If you or anyone else would like to supply me with a donor Alta and KTM I'd rather just "do it" than try to explain it. Where there's a will there's a way I always say.

    An alternate battery pack

    The "same of better" housing (form, fit, function) alone would cost a significant amount of money to develop the casting and the piece part price can't be cheap either. Did they give any idea what the packs would cost $US? There's plenty of pictures of our packs now, they should be able to...

    Battery Cooling

    Water (unless under vacuum) evaporates way to slowly at those temperatures to do much good from an evaporation standpoint but it does cool the housing which pulls more heat out of the pack (within limits). To be effective you'd need way more surface area, like using water spray into a...

    What Really happened to Alta Motors + The last hours of Alta HQ

    Hey, what brand goggles are those? Kinda looks like the old Carreras but modernized. Good venting for guys like me who wear glasses.

    One-man battery removal setup

    Cal/OSHA won't allow anyone in a workplace to carry more than 25 lbs (or something ridicules) without assistance. It's crazy. I've done my pack several ways but always use a loose strap wrapped around the front of the pack to keep it from accidently falling forward.

    The R pack wirebond issue

    We're all assuming the cells are epoxied to the cell support, we don't know for sure. What we DO know is that the cell support is composed of two halves, upper and lower parted down the middle like a couple of pancakes. The top surface of the upper support has a bunch of tiny screw threads for...

    Team Alta Owners Forum graphics kis

    I'll need to pick up a set as soon as I waste my current graphics. Looks good.

    Code 33 service required just appeared on display.

    You need to figure out how to use Multitool. It'll show the exact isolation value. I've seen mine bounce around a bit already, from a "green" light (good) to a "red" light (bad). Even when Multitool indicated "red" for HV isolation I never got any check light on my dash. I probably don't...

    Withdrawn Wheels & Suspension For Sale

    Not the back wheel, should bolt right on (rotor, sprocket, etc). Note however, that Alta went with the 20mm rear axle (small) so you'll need to use your Alta spacers if the KTM/Husky wheel you bought came with spacers for the 25mm axle. The bearings are all the same ID, the spacers allow the...
