    A budget steering stabilizer

    I am sure that thing gets pretty squirrelly when you have half a dozen friends, a pig and a goat or two on the back of it. I think you would need all the steering stability that $1.45 spring could give you.

    Want to buy Standard wall outlet adapter

    Yes, you can plug them into a standard 120v outlet. There are several threads on how to make the adapters. It is pretty simple. Here is one thread: Help! New Redshift EXR- Cannot charge If you really aren’t confident after reading the threads, drop me a PM and I can sell you one. i have a few...

    SUR-RON MX

    Getting ready for preemptive power outages here in Nor Cal because of high fire danger. Pretty unprecedented response to moderate winds. But I guess once you have a few towns disappear in flames, you tend to overreact. Planning to use the convenient USB charging port on the Sur-ron to power a...

    Harley-Davidson's LiveWire Has So Far Been A Flop: Report

    If I wanted to spend $30k on an electric street bike, I would buy a Lightning. Then I could really say I had cutting edge performance, range, and good looks. None of which applies to the mediocre product from the hypenated company-that-shall-not-be-named.

    2018 Alta MX.......Should I buy?

    I see on the Sur-ron owners facebook forum that there is a guy making new rear linkages. They look a bit beefier. I think his name is Mike Cronin, and I think he said he is in NE PA.

    Want to buy Battery

    Perhaps you could clarify why you are looking for a new battery? If it is for a spare, you are probably out of luck. If you are experiencing an error or it is throwing a code, you might want to give us some details and some of the AOF members might be able to give you some technical advice. I...

    What to check for when buying an Alta?

    Is that the one sitting in the window at BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco? I think I saw that one there when I bought an extra Rapid Charger from them. Unfortunately, I will be out of town on a business trip all week, or I would help you out with MultiTool. Perhaps @Rashid510 or one of the...

    Pics from the AIMExpo show

    They have the Sur-ron light bee, but not the Storm bee? Lame.

    What to check for when buying an Alta?

    Where are you going to pick it up? Maybe there is an AOF member nearby that can check it out with you. When I picked my MXR up, I insisted that the dealer update the firmware first. I also plugged it in and made sure it charged (testing both the bike and the charger at the same time). I did...

    24 Hours of Starvation Ridge in WA -- October 26 & 27, 2019 (new dates)

    I was thinking that you guys need to show your true Alta spirit for innovation by showing how electric bikes can change everything. While the ICE bikes do everything in the old serial fashion, going one after the other, you guys should change the paradigm. Electric circuits can be series OR...

    2017 mx won’t start? - Solved

    I love it when my one real mechanical skill (whacking offending machinery with a big hammer) still has applications in the 21st century, even with electronics. Brings back fond memories from successful repair adventures from yesteryear, such as smacking the old b&w TV to get the channel to come...

    Range and Range Comparison

    I’ve had similar results to @F451 on my MXR. I ‘m 235lbs, but I typically get about 20mi on about 50% battery on mostly trails and dirt roads. Haven’t run it down past 20% yet. I am pretty new to dirt riding, so I am more of a Map1 kinda rider 90% of the time. Easy trails with my kid in tow. I...

    Since he has the battery out, do you want the battery serial number too?

    Is that the little 9v battery?

    Seat Screw

    They are still only $9 for 5 of them from Amazon. Cheaper from them than to ship one cross country. I also have 4 extra if you are in the San Ramon, CA area though. Although the gas to drive to my location, even in the bay area, is probably more expensive than that!
