That TurboSpoke is great. @TCMB371 needed one or two of those for his SuperCross races so the people he was trying to pass could hear him coming. (maybe pointed forwards ! )

As of Monday evening, 17 June, here is the summary of responses in order of reply:

Here's a video of the first 2-1/2 minutes of the Rutter's TT Zero lap. The run down Bray Hill is always scary and somehow a little more frightening without the engine sounds to provide a sense of the speed. Also lots of head shake under hard braking with the heavy e-bike. <iframe...

No, the fast charger is made to run on 240 VAC (not DC). It will also run on 120 VAC with an adapter for the plug; it just takes longer to charge the bike. There have been a few reported instances where the two legs of someone's 240 outlet had a non-negligible voltage difference and that...

In addition to everything in Snydes' list so far, I would suggest that everyone bring a good battery powered headlamp. It's a good item to keep in your CamelBak while on the course at night, plus they are very useful in the pits even with other flood lights.

Michael Rutter again won the IoM TT Zero with a new lap record on a Mugen e-bike. He was 8.9 seconds ahead of Mugen teammate John McGuinness. There was some previous discussion about the relationship between Honda and Mugen in the thread about the Honda e-MX bike. Some amazing performance...

Here is a Dirt Bike Magazine article on results from this past weekend's Perry Mountain event. It has been near-drought conditions here in the Southeast for several weeks so I am sure it was very hot and dusty. MaxMotorsports wins 18th Annual 24 Hour Challenge

One set of each size for me

Yep. Got an email from Keith this morning with the tracking info. MX model vault is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. (y)

Does this issue relate to all pending orders? I placed an order on May 8th for an MX version and didn't receive any confirmation and also haven't received the vault. My PP account and credit card were charged that day. When I ordered my EX version in February I received an order...

If the current @Rashid510 option of sending a broken display off to have it repaired/replaced, reprogrammed, and returned is available I would definitely choose that path even if I have a spare in my own parts bin. AOF Store: New display in old case, assembled However, if a group buy is...

Interesting video focused on their classic/old car conversions. YouTube: "Fully Charged: Amazing Conversions @ EV West"

No parts ever arrived so the dealer never charged my credit card. I'm not out any money, but I would have preferred to get the spare parts.

That is a great picture and really shows the reaction many other riders (and non-riders) have to these bikes. When I ride my EXR on the street it always attracts a crowd. I've even had pedestrians jog up the street to ask questions when I stopped at a red light after passing them. A few...

A nice article on the Blatant Moto flat tracker. Link ==> BIKE EXIF - From the ashes of ALTA

It is great to see ALTAs that have found a good home. What happened to the #30 FT bike?

If anyone is interested, here is a very brief video on the results of potting an electric motor with high thermal conductivity epoxy. The results are impressive. Video on epoxy potting of electric motors

But realistically, what was the guy thinking??? "Let me wait until the light turns red so that I can wheelie through the intersection in front of moving cross-traffic; without any protective gear on a bike I don't know how to ride." :rolleyes:

Honda certainly discovered or realized this with their 500cc GP bikes a few decades ago. They moved the gas tank to the bottom of the frame and the bike wouldn't turn. (and yes, I understand that the dynamics of turning a roadracing bike or a street bike at speed can be quite different from...

Yep, I usually find that it is the rider that goes into restricted power mode due to overheating long before the ALTA battery.
