I put together a couple videos on how to build an adapter so that you can plug your Alta Rapid Charger into a standard 110v/120v US receptacle. These are obviously pretty simple tasks if you have done them before. But for folks new to the Alta Redshift or ones that are considering buying one...

Hello fellow AOF members, This forum has been a great resource for myself and a lot of other members in keeping these great Alta bikes running. The spirit of cooperation on the Forum has been a godsend to us orphaned Alta owners. And even though we have access to some great tools, I understand...

When you haven’t ridden your Alta in a while... ... maybe too long.

A quick little video of a sur-ron and an Alta MX. Haven’t seen too many vids featuring these two bikes in the same video. This is just some playing around, not a comparison vid. Same guy that won his class on the sur-ron in that Colorado hare scramble recently, posted in the sur-ron thread.

Saw this flyer in the Sur-Ron forum. Not much on their website, but their facebook page had a video that said they were turning an old 350 acre ski area near Donner into an ebike/emoto park. Flow track and trails it looked like. Could be interesting.

This kid (Noah Clark) has some nice videos featuring the Alta. He's an experienced GNCC rider that I follow on youtube, trying to pick up some fast riding tips. He's a pretty fast rider. Anyway, he borrowed an Alta, and he and his friend were playing around with it in this vid. I love the...

Do the SM and MX/MXR use the same rear fender plastic? They aren't differnt parts, are they? Just making sure they are interchangeable.

This is pretty cool. This dump truck gets all the energy it needs from regen, hauling loads down hill. Perfect application of electric tech. World's largest EV never has to be recharged

What more can I say? Li-ion 56v, 60ah battery. Tractor-like torque. It says “Enduro” right there in the name. Trails? Make your own damn trails and jumps with this bad boy! Update the suspension with a little more travel, and I’m sure you could clear some doubles or triples. It’s even got dual...

The battery on this thing is pretty cool. It has wheels and a handle like rollaway luggage, and you can just detach it and wheel it inside to charge it. Or it has a detached inverter so you can plug other devices into the battery. Kinda ugly and blocky, but the concept is neat.

This week’s project was updating suspension settings. I’ve been riding the MXR with stock settings since I got it a few months ago, to get used to it. I am not a very aggressive rider, and mostly do trails with my kids. But the stock settings are pretty harsh for trail riding. No questions here...

I made some mods to my shrouds to make them more comfy on my knees than the stock, sea-urchin shrouds. They have the added benefit of improving grip, but they do tend to whistle a bit at high speeds. And I'm going through riding pants and knee braces like gangbusters, though.

Hey guys, I contacted a local (former) Alta dealer to see if they might have some remaining Alta parts. I inquired if they could put a list together so I could post it to the AOF forum. I supplied the parts number list from our Resources section to make the process easier for them...

Hey fellow Alta Guys and Gals, Had a few questions for those of you on the forum that are into racing. I'm a longtime street rider (30+ years), but relatively new to dirt (3 years). I'm a pretty conservative rider by nature and not really into risky riding or gratuitous displays of speed on...

Well, that it one way to haul your Alta's... Teslamino Is A Short Cut To An Electric Pickup Truck Impatiently Waiting For A Tesla Truck? Make Your Own Teslamino I think I like this rendition better.

Here's a little vid of our ride today. My son is learning to ride his Sur-Ron Light Bee X. (He's transitioning from ATVs.) He did a pretty good job of keeping up, although I wasn't going too fast. It was both steeper and bumpier than it looks on the video, and the shadows kind of hid the...

Hey guys, Has anyone tried their fast charger on an old style dryer/stove NEMA 10-50 240v receptacle? I have one of these in my garage. Was hoping an adapter like the one pictured might work. Not sure if the neutral-ground setup is supported by the charger GFCI. Also, for help with NEMA...

Thought I’d ask the forum members what their preferred chain lube is. I’ve never really found a good one that didn’t fling crap all over or didn’t attract more dirt than they displaced. So what are your favorite products and techniques for applying (tips and timing)?

Looking for the kickstand and kickstand bracket, please!
