I didn't think the Alta motor had windings at all. It is supposed to be filled with magic, joy, the laughter of small children, and the sparkly bits of rainbow unicorns. Those are all the specs I need.

Another Sur-Ron and Alta vid:

That place was seriously packed! All you can hear on the video is the background rumble, like a herd of stampeding buffalo with chainsaws.

When I was a kid, my old granddad taught me to swim by rowing his boat out into a lake and chucking me in. If I got to shore, then I could swim. My parents were moderately surprised when I came home that summer from visiting the grandparents, and I could swim. They were going to spend big...

:cry: Is it plugged in? (There really is a Dilbert that covers every situation!) No, seriously. Turn the key, nothing happens? No mojo at all? Bad key? 9V?

Have you tried rebooting it?

Sounds like the topic of a good book or documentary. You can call it “Long Way to the Next Bathroom” or “Where the F* Did I Park My Motovan?”

Fortunately, my ramp just fits between the moto cinches.

Finally got around to making a video review of the Moto Cinch system. There are a couple old videos from the original Moto Cinch company, but no real in-depth reviews on YouTube that I could find. This might be because the company went out of business for a while, but it looks like a new guy...

These pegs are a little bit lighter, even though the material is a bit thicker. But I didn't weigh them. Besides, I would think you'd want to have heavier pegs, to lower the center of gravity on the bike. If you make them heavy enough, and lower them a bit, I bet the bike wouldn't even tip...

Trying out some new foot pegs. Found these Airtime pegs on eBay. They look very similar to the Tusk ones, just a tad cheaper. I wanted to see if these might be direct fit (they are Yamaha pegs). Alas, just like the Tusk pegs, I had to remove a little bit of aluminum to allow the pegs to rotate...

We will need kick ass electric dirt bikes on Mars. Not enough O2 to make roosting Martian dust on an ICE bike viable. Gotta go electric. Elon knows this, and will need Altas on that first trip to Mars to make it work! Should be able to catch some sweet air in 1/3 G, although traction will be...

The stock Alta front fender is a Honda part. So other years of CRF fender should work, I would think.

I don’t have an extra one, but they are only $164 US new. First thing I bought, and they work flawlessly. Actually, I bought my first one before I even picked up my bike! I’ve given mine plenty of abuse, and it still looks brand new. Looks like it was OEM, and easy to install and remove for...

Is your wife an experienced dirt rider? If not, how about something like the Sur-ron Light Bee?

I just saw this post today, thought it was appropriate for the conversation.

Clearly, "Your mileage may vary" is a phrase to live by on these. But if you haven't already, you should check out a few of the YouTube postings about hare scrambles. Just search for "Alta Hare Scramble." For instance, here's a good series of vids from Billy Beer that might be helpful. He...

The sur-rons are pretty easy to hop up with bigger batteries and hotter controllers. But in stock form, the Alta should have better range than a stock Sur-Ron Light Bee. Not a lot we can do currently to extend the range on the Alta - it is what it is currently (electricity pun intended). The...

I see there is an MX for sale on ebay. It is in the UK. These probably won't come up too often outside of the United States. ALTA Redshift MX ELECTRIC Motocross Bike New 2018 | eBay

Actually, California is phasing out the red sticker/green sticker program over the next year. Model 2021 red sticker bikes (ones that don't pass emission standards or were not submitted for testing to get a green sticker) are still being sold, but model 2022 bikes that would have been...
