I am 6'3 260 ish and after dumping a buttload of money(more than the purchase price) into my Sur Ron, I've made it taller, better suspended, better braking and a whole lot faster. light speed bikes makes a 72volt upgrade and I am pulling 13 kw, which works out to appx 18 hp. I too do not have...

I have a laptop w/ multitool and cables and absolutely no experience with it, but if you're nearby and think you know how to do it ...COME ON OVER. 218 river rd Washington crossing pa 215 801 6459. fine folks on this forum have helped me and I would be happy to pay it forward and meet other alta...

take the throttle tube off, clean the inside of the grip and the handlebar and grease the handlebar before reinstalling. do not try to loosen the stripped looking screws there is one small Allen screw that allows you to remove the throttle assembly. I got grip glue in mine and had the same...

what about mr. fusion? it makes 24 jigawatts from banana peels. doc brown got it down!

on a side note the guy who built the sur Rons battery..lightspeed bikes in jersey city New Jersey says he could easily rebuild alta batteries if he had the battery case. he doesn't just do ebike batteries. thought that might be helpful to "R" owners having battery problems or any bike builders...

I'm at about 8 grand and the bike was only 3600. it is a huge difference!! it pulls my fat ass around now with no problem and wheelies are effortless, I went through radar at 58 mph with stock gearing. is it worth it? to me yes, I already have an alta and this is just for play in my tight little...

I think I may be done upgrading the Sur Ron for a little while. so far I've added 3 inch rise pro taper bars, disconnected Regen and brake engine cutoff, installed adjustable handlebar risers that raise bars 2 inches and move them forward 2 inches, longer stiffer fork spring with 2 in shim...

question:...why would you pedal when you've got a motor? I get enough exercise pushing bikes around so I can get the one I want to ride out of the shed.

still waiting on the 72v set up to arrive. right now I'm running the supermoto wheels and tires, have put a Ktm rear fender on, a bicycle front fender, stiffer fork spring with a spacer, stiffened the rear suspension and upgraded to a primary chain drive. the primary chain is loud so I got a...

come on haters! if brp uses alta parts then alta parts will be available! how is this a bad thing? if they continue to use Alta's technology then maybe as technology moves forward some of it may be used to upgrade Altas. the majority of the bike can be replaced with existing parts from other...

I am running knobbies on my sm for the winter. I am running irc ve33 and ve 35 460/100/17 front and 510/100/17 rear. I bought extra sm wheels from liquid performance off of eBay and the wheels came with sprockets, rotors and spacers. first I tried 19 and 21inch alta wheels(also from liquid) but...

hey if they continue to manufacture them and use them in new products then maybe stuff can be retrofitted as technology increases. it's a possible ray of sunshine, bask in it!!

in the sub article linked to Honda will work with Ktm etc(see above link) brp introduces 6 new electric vehicles there is a center podium containing a very altaish looking battery...any one else see this?

QUICK. someone send them an alta battery! wouldn't it be cool if you could pull up, and swap batteries like you do bbq grill propane tanks, and keep on riding?

if a man can put it together another man should be able to take it apart....I just know I'm not that man!!

as far as the aftermarket goes lubricants other than grease, pipes ,jet kits and power commanders will take a hit but a new market for batteries and controllers will be created to fill the void. ebikes still need tires, wheels, handlebars, levers, grips, brakes, sprockets, chains, plastics...

there is a multitude of electric 2 wheelers out there, look around! most are either street bikes where weight isn't that important or are mountain bike hybrids. learning to shave weight and increase range is the single most important factor in successfully marketing an electric off road bike and...

that's the trouble with living in the desert, no trees, have to loosen the whole front end and do it the hard way!!

it is a very cool bike. I've been bitten a few times(alta being no exception) by companies going belly up after I buy one of their products and I like to wait a few years until the product is perfected or abandoned. also I owned a cz(Czech motocrosser) and it was undoubtedly the worst motorcycle...

no available skid plate (yet), no quick change battery option and $6500 more than a Sur Ron! looks cool but those are some pretty serious drawbacks. 3 grand buys a Sur Ron a 72v battery and an asi bac8000 controller and charger with $3500 left over to upgrade brakes and suspension.my Sur Ron has...
