Holycrap Electro, you hit the mother load with spare parts.

+1. If we were to look at the social stratification of all the Alta owners on the forum, I am certain I would be at the bottom of the list for house hold income. But, I was able to finance my Alta with zero down which is what made owning my EXR doable. That said, That said, I like electric...

I would say 20k is the best case scenario, the forks alone are almost 6k, at least to guys like me on the street.

What Whats really neat and realistic about this photo-shopped KTM/Alta is that a kit bike conversion would be easy to mod a KTM frame. Chromolly tubing is so easy to work with. A quality 140 amp mig welder and a chop saw would be all one needed to modify the frame to fit a bigger battery and...

Yah I missed this earlier, truly impressive. So whats your next course of action?

So......are you saying we cant just take our bikes apart down to the frame, build cast box and get some casting sand, cast a mold of our frames, melt down some aluminum cans from Bubba's metal recycle yard, and make a replacement frame for our Altas? Insert preferred imoji here.

Thats a good riding partner there.

makes sense.

You are more than covered. I could easily get 38-40 miles of single track at a body weight of 280 with lots of elevation change. Now that I lost 49 pounds since TKR surgery, I imagine It will be more like 42 miles now.

The reason why you started this thread was to get some ideas, and because of the input you received, you came up with a solution that works. Like Redwolf said in the voice of Hannibal Smith, your plan is coming together nicely.

I just don't think pressure washing the bike is a good idea at all, even if it has an IP67 rating. The problem I see if there isn't much water pressure when the bikes are submerged in water. Conversely, pressure washing can exert way more water force than say non velocity water submersion at 4...

Can a guy remove the display and put it in a bucket of rice? If water is the culprit, maybe this can help?

I bought my Alta on 09/22/18, about 3 weeks before black wednesday or thursday. No regrets, I am a former desert and enduro racer (A rider) but haven't raced in decades. I just trail and desert ride my EXR, taking it easy and enjoying the ride for the pure sake of riding. If I had went the gas...

I like it!

I just renewed my subscription to EBA for another 2 years. Some of their issues are good, some are less good.

This is giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Alta Motors Redshift - Page 5 - Endless Sphere I started this Alta thread on ES. Its nothing special compared to AOF. The rest of ES is huge and full of tech stuff that is nothing short of amazing. On my thread, the people that are commenting on some of the stuff Butch has posted are geniuses...
