Mine suffered a battery failure at 6 hours and was replaced.

Also the chain and sprockets are normal wear parts on both bikes, so take that out of the equasion. Then theres the cost of the generator, and minor maintenance of it too. Sorry but from my standpoint the Alta doesnt make sense financially, however not everything is about money. The fun factor...

Resale value should be a part of your calculations, but with the Alta theyre not really known. Some sort of significant battery breakthrough could kill existing Altas value in minutes. However a 5 year old 250F doesnt carry much value neither.

Theres an Alta rep in Texas by the username Zoom at VitalMX that said he had a 220V inverter installed in his van. i inquired about details, but he never replied back.

I believe theres an Alta employee thats a member here, and I know over at VitalMX.com theres a member there with the user name Zoom thats an Alta rep. I would certainly be interested in any kind of fast charger, as I believe most of us would be, and Id let you guinea pig my bike, but im on the...

When I swapped all of mine out, the only issue I had was the black plastic piece in front of the seat with the charging port. I spun one of the inserts, not the bikes fault though.

Sounds like a product that theres certainly a demand for, but I dont think youll ever get Altas blessing to sell it without them getting a cut. And rightfully so, afterall they are in business to make money.

Thank you thats helpful. I noticed at 120V you list both chargers at 1,400W, is that correct?

I would still like to see a real world stats on the rapid charger. Something along the lines of: the standard charger takes 2 hours, and the rapid takes 1 hour, or whatever the time amounts may be. Without this bit of info, theres no way to justify stepping up to a rapid.

Anticipated cost of street legal kit?

Before I ever rode mine I dropped it off with the guys at Decal Works (DeCalMX.com) they used my bike for a template and also have them available.

I have am MX, not the new MXR, and I will be trying to race a 1 1/2 hour hare scramble in 2 weeks with it. I race 40A and think it will be very close to finishing with my speed and abilities, but the MXR should have more range overall.

Not impressed with Rekluses master cylinder, as it has what I percieve as a bicycle lever. And I would like to retain the foot brake.

My thoughts for a powerful LHRB was to buy the adapter from Clake that replaces the reservoir cover with a fitting to add a line. Then use a Brembo clutch master and have a powerful hand, and retain the foot lever. But havent tried it yet.

Anybody have any specs or details on the new for 18 fast charger?

Looking around and so far seems to be a great forum and gathering of Alta owners. As probably the last person on earth to not use Facebook, I've been feeling left behind, and hopefully this will help keep me up to date on all things Alta. I currently have 8 hours on mine and anxiously await warm...
