@ElectroBraap posted a cool video today.

This is just in: "Our sources tell us that Harley-Davidson has all but removed itself from its joint motorcycle project with Alta, and backed out of its involvement in the San Francisco startup." Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways Interesting. I hope Alta is not cash strapped...

I finally got around to installing the custom decal kit that I ordered from Limited Decal onto my MXR. I had to buy a heat gun. Without it the installation would have not been possible on this bike. There were no installation instructions in the box. I am glad I had a spare Attack Graphics...

Nate Adams positioned his Alta Redshift MXR as the first electric motorcycle to ever qualify and compete at X Games. The most decorated Moto X athlete in X Games history put his MXR head-to-head against some of the industry’s biggest names in this year’s Best Whip contest at Summer X Games in...

This guy can film. And he can talk. An excellent video from a non-racer. He covered all the fundamentals so well.

Tesla's used 5.3kWh 24V batteries sell for ~$1,400 on eBay. They are pretty small, weigh only 55 lbs, and are almost enough to fully charge the Redshift from empty. Just add a BMS, a charge controller, a 24V inverter/charger, and perhaps a few fail-safe systems. This video also shows some...

I think I should re-post the DIY LHRB recipe, which is buried on Page 6 of The Alta Factory LHRB thread. Here is the recipe: 1) Brembo clutch 9mm master cylinder KTM P/N 79202030044 from the 2017 KTM SX-F 250/350 2) Clutch hose KTM P/N 60032063100 from the 2014+ KTM Adventure (must straighten...

I did some forum housekeeping today: Created a new Technical --> Firmware sub-forum and moved some firmware-related threads there. Most of them were buried in General Discussion before. I am expecting this sub-forum to grow as we are learning more about firmware and how it controls the...

My friend from Aspen, CO sent me this pic. He is mostly into skiing, thus the center of the picture is not the bike but a skiing slope, LOL.

I am new to air forks, if I didn't count mountain bikes. I have never had one on my dirt bike before I got my MXR. I bought the MXR almost 3 months ago, but I haven't adjusted or even checked the pressure since the dealer set it when they unboxed the bike. The fork still seems fine, but I...

Congrats to all Alta Owners! Last week our forum membership surpassed 100. Not a large number, but it will surely increase as Alta Motors keeps building and selling bikes. With that in mind, I thought I would find a way to make it easier to locate other Alta owners nearby. Introducing: Member...

Not sure whether I should post this in General or in Humor. Revzilla now lists almost 600 aftermarket parts for your Redshift. 2018 Alta Motors Red Shift MXR Parts & Accessories - RevZilla Lots of bark busters, a Rekluse LHRB, light kits, and also items like 12V batteries of various sizes...

Recently @rayivers introduced us all to an idea of having a Tesla Powerwall installed in your van. He said it's cool, but the $6.6K + installation price tag made it not as cool as it were if it also had been cheap. However, I keep coming back to this idea. This is simply because the gas...

I have been researching how to install a big 12V - 240V inverter in my van. Not long ago @WoodsWeapon mentioned a guy on VitalMX who had such a setup. I managed to get a hold of him, but he referred me to his more electrically skilled friend, who actually came up with this installation recipe...

Someone recently suggested that we should put together a list of acronyms that Alta uses. I keep seeing new ones popping up on the forum. If you notice some new acronym or an unknown term, post it in its thread with a question mark next to it, or a definition, if you know the definition. I will...

Dear Alta Motors! Map 3 is weird and not very usable. It is jerkier than Map 2 but not any more powerful than Map 2 at higher speeds. Additionally, it is too far away from Map 4. Please make Map 3 to be exactly in between Map 2 and Map 4! Racers, myself included, have been fiddling with the...
