Link: ALTA Liberty Graphics

I don't know for sure, but I suspect these are actually very bright and good lights to be able to record a lap at night. Getting even good lights to work well in this type of terrain with all of the whoops and elevation changes is a real challenge. You can see why you need lights on the bike...

I saw the videos in the new Starvation Ridge thread and thought I would add one to this thread. The Perry Mtn terrain is nothing like the open fields in Washington. If you have raced an NEPG enduro in the southeast, the 24 hour trail is similar, but slightly more open and a little less...

Having experience with this race for several years, although quite a few years ago, I can tell you that you will want A LOT OF LIGHT. You want to come as close as possible to projecting daylight. Here are a few thoughts which you can use or ignore as you see fit.... First and foremost, have...

I just went and checked my '19 EXR since I also ride it on the street in the dark. The taillight stays lit regardless of headlight position and after multiple hi/low/hi/lo switches. In theory, I have the latest firmware on the bike so that might be one solution. However, I agree that...

Interesting article. I was not aware Magneti Marelli was so deeply involved with the HD Livewire development. MM Motorsport are the supplier of the spec (Dorna required) ECU on all MotoGP bikes, so they certainly know something about vehicles on two wheels. I hope HD didn't 'share' ALTA's...

32.5 miles yesterday, with about 1/4 left on the battery indicator. An equal mileage mix of paved mountain roads at 45mph, loose gravel Forest Service Roads, and very steep, rocky, and rutted single track. The single track included a quite a few stops to cut and clear deadfall trees and...

I thought I would follow up on my earlier post above about the brakes on my EXR...... I know better after many years of roadracing and street riding, but I forgot to bed in the brakes on my new bike. :sleep: I just went out and rode. After about 40 or 50 miles of easy riding, the...

My state charges me extra each year for having an EV. :rolleyes: Also, I don't know the source of the info but Hudson Valley Cycles made this post a couple of months ago:

As an interim solution, I just have a small Li-ion battery (Amazon Battery) inside a ziploc bag zip-tied behind the mask. The bag has the opening downward to keep water out and the short USB cord comes out and up to the GPS. It would work the same for a phone. The battery will power...

That is really cool and a great video. If you watch "actively" with the mouse cursor you can actually look through the corners as if riding. No problems with the entire video on my MacBook. Thanks for posting the video and for taking the time to make this. Also it is strange that...

So, I just registered my EXR and was not so thrilled to discover that Georgia has an ANNUAL Alternative Fuel Vehicle Licensing Fee in addition to all of the regular vehicle fees. :mad: For 2018 that incremental fee is $208.13 and the state will adjust this fee each year based on their...

This is what I wish the center button on the left handgrip did. It would improve battery charge and also give you 'engine braking' without locking the rear wheel. Probably not of much use on the MX track, but would be nice for trail riding and great for dual sport riding where range is...

Similar experience to Oded with the brakes on my 2019 EXR, although no LHRB (yet?). I have three KTMs and the ALTA front brakes are very similar in response and braking force. The rear brake is plenty strong, but is even harder to modulate with my size 13 offroad boots than the KTMs; i.e...

I was wondering the same thing about U.S. DOT certification since the Amazon link only mentions Europe (ECE approval). However, if you go to the actual Polisport website it does state that the Halo LED light is fully street legal in the U.S. It also looks like the mounting locations are...

After a bit of investigation and calling, here is the information I was able to gather regarding insurance coverage for electric motorcycles and in some cases specifically the ALTA EXR. It looks like Progressive may be the only company excluding our bikes. This info is for the state of...

Exactly. I ordered some heavy duty Velcro from Amazon last night so that I can attach the Rapid Charger to my rear fender. Problem solved. :LOL: Realistically, if I could get something close to ten pounds and smaller than a loaf of bread including the cords I would be willing to carry that...

There is a reasonable chance I will never reach 1,000 hours so this is purely out of curiosity. I have searched the forum and the owners manual and the only service interval info I have found is this table. Anyone know if there is a list for this major maintenance?

I would love to have an onboard charger or a carry-along charger for my EXR. For trail riding and most typical uses it is not needed, so I understand that most people would not want the extra weight and ALTA designed the EX/EXR accordingly. However for true dual-sport riding or commuting...

Hate to hear that. Hopefully it will be something simple. My dealer updated the firmware on my EXR yesterday afternoon and I picked the bike up today. From what they told me, it took two attempts on the update for it to register. I rode the bike this afternoon and tried to exaggerate...
