Thanks for that info! I have a spare throttle on order, I'll check it out with a meter when it arrives. Maybe it'll work on my Zero. On a side note... for those looking for MX-R type acceleration from their MX who can sacrifice some top end, 11/53 sprockets will give 578 ft/lbs torque & @...

According to Corey at HVM, the standard charger is yours to keep. I just got back from picking up my fast charger & kickstand there, & now have both chargers. :) I have the feeling the new fast charger may soon be the standard charger. Ray

Philip, re the throttle - the MX-R's is quite large in diameter, one of the biggest I've seen (way bigger than the Magura & Domino electric throttles). The OD is larger than the Alta switch unit or grip ODs, with a bevel on the grip side. It looks different from the '17 MX throttle, at least...

It would be great if there were replacement gearsets available for the throttle housing, like the cable cams in high-end ICE throttles. A one-tooth pinion change would probably make a huge difference in response (maybe even too much). I wonder if Alta dealers can now create/upload new throttle...

Thanks to all! It's great to be here, and I really appreciate the comments about the mods. Converting a Zero FX to dirt-only has been true job security. :) I feel the same! My Zero's been a lot of fun and it finally works OK in the dirt, but I spent so much time doing things I shouldn't have...

As long as the mod subject came up :^) here's a link to most of mine at the EMF site, in case any might be of interest to Alta owners: '14 Zero FX mods Ray

Aww shucks, Oded - thanks a bunch, seriously (you've been mighty busy doing mods yourself!). I'm glad I did most of the Zero stuff and it was a great learning experience, but nowadays I'll just recommend getting an Alta instead. :) +1 on the Freeride E (though if the price dropped...

Thanks! I've been waiting for an electric MX bike like this since at least '07, so cool to finally have one. Ray

Great forum! Thanks much to Oded for the heads-up about it. I just got my MX-R last week, from Hudson Valley MC in Ossining, NY. They're a very helpful and can-do dealership; based on my experiences so far, I'd recommend them highly. I haven't taken the bike out yet, but I test-rode a '17 MX...
