    Thinking about making the plastics for alta

    If you have access to that kind of equipment and can scan you can really do some cool things. Idea's I had if I could do that was to redesign subframe parts so there was a battery cavity directly under the seat for those of us who made MXR/EXR conversions. Pulling the rear fender piece off to...

    Thinking about making the plastics for alta

    I started doing the same thing and got one side molded, but I had to stop after we moved out of our house and I no longer have any space to continue the project. Love to see how it comes out. Once we get back into a house I'll continue working on it. Also plan on making molds to create...

    EXR #202 stolen in Utah

    Also post flyers around all the riding spots in your area. These are so rare that anytime ICE riders see them they want to check them out. If there are flyers at all the riding spots, the thieves won't be able to ride it without people noticing. At least you can spoil their fun.

    SUR-RON MX

    I wonder how people feel about these bikes on mountain bike trails. By people I mean park rangers and mountain bicyclists.

    Is the ex actually a dual sport?

    A couple of us have converted MX/MXR's into EX/EXR's, but you really have to check with state laws to determine how easy it might be to title. The space under the seat has enough room for a small battery to run a set of lights for a few hours. Trying to tie into the 12v Aux circuit on an MXR...

    Anyone want to waste some money😂

    Not very helpful in the event of a breach. The owners manual does not have the kind of warning I'm use to seeing in service manuals for high voltage. One line that tells me to contact alta if there is a breach, but how do I know there is a breach until after I wipe the mud off the battery so I...

    Anyone want to waste some money😂

    I understand what you mean by a breached pack, if I crash my bike hard enough, sure the battery could be damaged. But what is a dealer doing with a damaged battery other than sending it back to Alta for repair/replacement? Or are you saying that the pack casing could be charged at high voltage...

    Anyone want to waste some money😂

    Well, these were $13k bikes brand new, so there's bound to be a few owners with more money than brains. Of course if you're reading this, that's not you. So if all that stuff went to a dealer, were they really expecting to do battery work with those gloves?

    Rule #1 - COMPLETE - "sell a toy - buy a toy"

    The Lego Head propane tank is awesome. How do you like the Talon? My cousin is considering trading in his Can-Am for one. Last question, what's under the SXS? Pop-up tent? Those are some stout tires on that trailer, pretty sweet.

    Post your Miles/Hours

    Oh she is going to roll her eyes anyway.."here he goes talking about that damn electric bike" and I'll go riding. If I try to use the time argument, she is just going to say, "I wish you were out in the garage working on that bike, I need some me time." Besides, 400 hrs is a LOT. It's going...

    Post your Miles/Hours

    I'm new to off-road motorcycles, but how much maintenance would you need to do on an ICE bike to get to 400 hrs? I'd think the maintenance cost would start to add up. Cost estimate? Maybe I can convince my wife that this was a more cost efficient purchase than an ICE bike, which cost about...

    Bleeder Valve

    Anyone know the correct bleeder valve thread size for the 19' MXR forks? I thought these forks were the same as the 15 KTM 250 XC, but the threads are much smaller. Rocky mountain atv wants me to select my bike for selecting the correct bleeder valve, but they don't have alta's in their...

    Harley Livewire - Demo Ride and Perspective

    They are also using a Rivian electric pick-up as a support vehicle. I don't know what you mean by invalidating them. If they can make a trip like that on electrics, it actually does more to validate it. It would show that while your range may be limited, access to charging is always...

    Is it wrong of me?

    I only write posts on the downhill sections... I just read during the technical stuff.

    Is it wrong of me?

    With the right handlebar mount, you can ride and be on this site.

    Should I buy a 2019 Alta EXR

    This should be a sticky.

    New owner for #066 (2017 MX)

    So if I want to ride after a cold evening, just wrap it in a heating blanket for an hour or so before charging and I should be good.
