Hey, I bought my MXR there as well!

Ok guys, I'm more than a little bit disappointed that some of the more geeky AOF members haven't yet hacked the Alta display module to connect to the internet and display the latest AltaOwnersForum.com updates on the screen. This is every bit as vital to my situational awareness as battery SOC...

They do have VIN numbers. But they are only 15 digits instead of 17.

Here's a few more rides we did at Carnegie SRVA this weekend. My son is getting a bit braver on his Sur-Ron traversing the hills now that he trusts it will pull him up the steeper hills and trusting the regen on the downhills. In the second video, you can see some of the damage done by the...

Nice to meet you too, @ElectroBraap! It was almost like meeting a Kardashian's second-cousin on the street, only if they wore a motocross helmet all the time. Only not quite as glamorous. What did you think of the Sur-Ron when you took it for a ride?

Wish I had some riding buddies. All my friends that ride are street bike guys. I switched to dirt when I finally convinced the wife to let me teach my boys to ride. So far, it’s just me and my boys. Biggest reason I started joining groups like this was to meet more like-minded folks...

Indeed! Love Electrobraap's vid on the Rubicon trail, crossing the river. Looked like a submarine! Electro is braver than me. See about 1 minute into the vid.

Hey fellow Alta Guys and Gals, Had a few questions for those of you on the forum that are into racing. I'm a longtime street rider (30+ years), but relatively new to dirt (3 years). I'm a pretty conservative rider by nature and not really into risky riding or gratuitous displays of speed on...

Fixed the squeaky & weak front brakes by swapping the OEM pads for Shimano H03C pads. Much better stopping power, and they don't fade like the stock ones. They also have built-in cooling fins. The back sides of the original pads literally looked like they had melted from the heat...

Did a few upgrades on my son’s Sur-Ron. Swapped in a set of 4” rise Pro-Taper minibike bars and Shimano brake pads. Handles and stops much better. Also, my son complained the other day when we rode in the mud about lack of fenders, especially in the rear. So I found a full set of black CRF70...

What software/devices are you using to add the telemetry for GPS and other stuff to the video? Nice feature.

So, what exactly was the point of this piece? Did he hook his toe under it for flips or something?

Nice bars, @Philip. It is also very kind of you to let your grazing herd of Altas watch skateboarding videos so that they don't get too bored while resting and chowing down on electrons. What is their favorite show? Nitro Circus? Supercross? Electric Company?

Those are really nice. What kind of equipment do you have available to make those parts? Looks like a nice CNC machine at least.

To avoid overhead and vertical welds, just flip the trailer over! Sweet project!

Well, that it one way to haul your Alta's... Teslamino Is A Short Cut To An Electric Pickup Truck Impatiently Waiting For A Tesla Truck? Make Your Own Teslamino I think I like this rendition better.

I hear you. But my garage is also my wife’s laundry room, so she outranks me there. As for the living room, assuming it would fit, there is still that marital gray area [see “Wife Manual”, page 95, sub-section 3, “Divorce and Community Property” and Appendix C: “Important Phrases: Yes Dear.”)...

The MXR simply checked all my boxes for what I was looking for in a bike. No traditional maintenance, no carbs to mess with, no oil to change (well, just a little bit), no filters to clean, no fussing with jetting at altitude, no gelled gasoline after sitting in storage, no stalling. No...

Here's a little vid of our ride today. My son is learning to ride his Sur-Ron Light Bee X. (He's transitioning from ATVs.) He did a pretty good job of keeping up, although I wasn't going too fast. It was both steeper and bumpier than it looks on the video, and the shadows kind of hid the...
