    Charge Your eBike Silently - Amazing Battery Tech Is Coming from China

    OOPS! Yes, these are the correct prices. I was thinking it was $1,512 for the 10 kWh version, which would have been cheaper than 16x Shenzhen Basen LiFePO4 batteries alone, which is what appears to be in this 10 kWh powerwall, and which is also what I have in my van. Yes, it is just a battery...

    Charge Your eBike Silently - Amazing Battery Tech Is Coming from China

    I saw something amazing on Alibaba today. If I had to do my motovan electrification all over again, I probably would have just bought this 10 kWh powerwall, a 48V inverter, a solar charger and a couple of solar panels for trickle charging, and call it done. Charge your Alta two times at the...

    2001 RM with QS138 70H V3 motor and Votol EM200 Controller at an Enduro

    That motor fits this RM very well! And the tiny battery is so cute! If I could swap those on my Alta quickly, I would bring 4 of them for a practice day and 3-4 for a race day, depending on the track! That yellow tank is big enough for some Gatorade and an ice pack. Wouldn't it be cool to sip...

    Real first picture of the Stark grey

    I am a purist too. Alta revealed their Redshift MX and EX in suzuki-ish yellow. But I told them that's bullshit, Suzukis are not cool or even high-tech anymore. Make it white-red like Yamahas used to be! And they listened! Or maybe they just read my mind. :)

    €50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company

    Even moving "south of the border", scooters and mopeds is what most people use to get around town. Most have electric start and CVT belt drives. Lots and lots of them on the streets. Local men, women, children, and elderly, all on scooters, many riding 2-up or 3-up, some even 4-up. Sandals is...

    €50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company

    The guys at KTM and at the Big 4 Japanese manufacturers must be scratching their heads much harder than we are, LOL!

    €50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company

    Perhaps Stark wanted a few Indian industrial engineers at their brand-new factory. Someone who could then travel to India and replicate that factory there.

    Stark 'demo'

    I can't quite recall... Has Stark always planned on having a large dealer network? Or have the dealers been announced much later? I suspect the need for dealers has sprung up as a result of all the pre-orders that they received. They needed to expand and sign up enough dealers. I am not upset...

    Stark 'demo'

    You'd save at least $1,100 by keeping your order and deposit. You will get the suspension sprung and valved for your weight and riding style. And someone else will get early production units with their bugs, which will hopefully be fixed quickly. it's a win/win/win.

    Stark Varg at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week!

    Wow, this is sweet! Did you sit on it? Is the seat hard and narrow as a broomstick?

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

    Don doesn't act and doesn't ride like a 77-year-old. I think he might have a slight dementia problem though because he forgot his age. :ROFLMAO:

    Watched it already. I had no idea that Southwick had logs to jump through and trees to dodge, LOL!

    Front Axle sizes

    I think the EX with its 4CS uses the 26mm axle, and the EXR with its Explor uses the 22mm axle.

    $10 mini taillight

    Great find, Ray! Did you plug it into the EXR auxiliary harness or not? What kind of a harness/connector did you use with it?

    RIEJU E-MR

    My absolutely biggest electric pet peeve of all times is when manufacturers disclose the battery capacity in Amper-hours without mentioning the voltage, it is totally meaningless. @DonCox disagreed with me and provided very reasonably sounding explanations. But it all fell on deaf ears...

    RIEJU E-MR

    @DonCox should send his KTM and Yamaha to EICMA too and start accepting orders from European customers!
