I wonder if the new 3300w rapid charger is just a variation of Elcon TC HK-J 3300W Charger ?

It doesn’t have clearance to be run with 18/19” wheels. I ran into a guy today with an SM that had the NRC kit on, it looked great but he was running 18” wheels for the day and the first time he landed from a jump it folded his license plate under and he had to pull over and remove it to...

I took my EXR to metcalf motorcycle park today (near San Jose, CA) and was pleased and surprised to see Alta’s all over. Felt like 1/3rd of the bikes there were Altas due to me, an SM rider (with off-road wheels from a KTM) and a bunch of Alta employees out riding. I was a bit worried at first...

Alta’s dealer page is a bit confusing here, which I think is leading dealers to just ignore it. My EXR came with the same toolkit my SM came with. When I looked at the dealer page it had a bunch of checkboxes to keep the dealers from forgetting things, but the dealer didn’t agree with the...

Nice. That would be enough for me, not racing around on the street but on knobbies I’m more likely to spin the rear wheel than carry the front wheel over a pothole. It lights up incredibly easy. I did a quick test, I get more traction in sand and in gravel than I do on pavement. Don’t need...

I’ve never run street oriented tires for 18/21” wheels but has anyone here tried it and if so can you comment on how it compares to the smaller wheels? I have noticed some bikes such as the Zero FX coming with more street usable tires but still on off-road sized wheels and am wondering if I...

Having the same maintenance schedule for an SM and an MX seems a bit silly to me, I hope they rectify this eventually.

I’ve been thinking about yanking the red subframe off of my SM to put on my EXR as I really like the red subframe but that black and white look is giving me second thoughts. Looks super sharp.

So how many of you are changing your spokes every 40 hours :D

I would buy a charger I can put in a backpack for my exr that could hook up to public charging stations in a heartbeat. I’d want some sort of security attachment if possible because when I got to the trailhead I would end up just locking it to a tree somewhere :D

That’s funny to hear that updates are so quick. BMW Motorsports in San Francisco said it can take a while (they said it’s slow, depending on how many updates are needed). I ended up waiting in their waiting room for two hours while they applied the updates, hearing it really takes 5 minutes is...

I was also wondering how people are getting so much ride time out of their Alta’s, are they stopping and taking a ton of breaks. It was interesting to watch the Erzberg footage, he ran out of battery after about 40 minutes, which is what I would expect from my experience with my Alta. I don’t...

I’d take one.

Speculation here but it could just be an old school fix to an issue they didn’t have time to deal with otherwise. They don’t have decent traction control now after years of development, it’s possible they couldn’t just whip some up in time for the race. I love my Alta, but really, programming...

I do have an SM so that would work great for me. I don’t know enough about charging standards, but with the DC chargers, do they reduce what is needed on the bike (size/weight wise)?

I see. Then I would like the chance to program it better.

Product idea: 7mm disk spacer :D

I think we have different ideas of “smarter” handling of free wheel accelleration. To me if someone quickly twists the throttle in a low traction situation they want to spin up the rear wheel quickly, a panic rev, blow some mud off the rear tire, pivot around a corner, but if they have a near...

Ability to charge from publically available electric car chargers. I want to go for longer rides. Probably not realistic, but how cool would it be if it would slot into the subframe so I could leave it off when I don’t want to carry it around, and click it in place when I want to be able to...

I’m interested as well.
