Coincidentally, Alta made a video about this: “Free Ride: Mars”

Things won't be in slow motion on Mars. You can probably go faster because of less atmospheric resistance (100 times less dense). But when you jump, it will go higher and come down slower. Mass will remain the same, so inertia will keep you moving the same as on Earth. But you get less...

Just riffing on a theme here, but in 2019, there were 180,000 car fires in the USA alone! In the 1980’s the average was closer to 450,000 per year! We’ve come a long way in safety improvements, but the fact of the matter is that gasoline and other fuels like to combust. It is important that...

Good reminder that these things can be dangerous. Almost any form of stored energy has the potential to release that energy catastrophically at any moment, whether it is electrical, chemical or mechanical. Anybody ever try to remove a compressed spring from a car? Scary. There will be people...

Well, it took me two years to get around to it, but I finally installed my Alta Vault. Seems to fit pretty well, although I added a little extra padding. The reason that I finally installed it was because I was also installing some Tusk 30mm bar risers. I installed the risers mostly because I...

Dang! Did you see the rear end on that beauty? What, Honey? No I was just commenting on the excessive nature of having three separate 2-piston brake calipers on the rear wheel. It seems like overkill. I was just watching it over and over to see if I could figure out the Russian, but the...

Sweet looking bike. The chain is looking a bit droopy, though! And that master link seems a bit sketchy. Enjoy the new ride!

Well, that is a good start, but I’m pretty sure Liquid doesn’t have any suspension links listed for sale. Anyone know if the MXR link was a stock part for some other bike?

Any recommendations on what link to try?

I’d have to agree it is a neat solution, but the fisheye effect does distort the perspective quite a bit. Jeff’s vid looks a bit too much like a video game than a real life vid.

If nothing else, it shows the bikes are holding their value well. Who knew they would be both the most kick-ass electric dirt bikes in the world AND a shrewd investment?

Start with this forum: Should I Buy an Alta?

I do enjoy spending your money for you. Now we know who to hit up with the hidden stash of parts in a pinch!

I'm diggin' the Pro Taper sticker on the display, just like the Pro Taper bash pad. Sweet!

Did you mean to comment on this, @Fog 25 ???

These aren't mine. Just saw these pop up on eBay. Not sure what the story is. Maybe bikes used in some other project/conversion??? Anyway, just speculation. For those of you that are looking for a full set of plastics, or one of the elusive right-side number plates, or have a cracked...

It looks like Joe Satriani doing stoppies!

Ha Ha! I ordered a genuine Alta honkety horn. But what showed up was a pair of fuzzy, red-velvet covered bicycle grips. Similar, but not quite the same thing!

Question for you suspension gurus out there, since suspension is one of those subjects that make my brain bits all confused. Well, it appears my son has been landing the MX a bit hard. We had mostly been riding trails and hills, which the 4CS suspension handled quite well. But now that he is...

Hey, look what I found on Amazon. It is even the right brand! It’s practically OEM equipment!
