Here is what I have: https://altaownersforum.com/threads/following-stay-at-home-orders.1708

Imagine H-D had bought Alta. Then we might have been here today drooling over the top-of-the-line Alta Lifewire...

It is definitely not a DIY project, so let's hope Yamaha learns something from it and builds us a production bike. I want to see Tomac on an electric Yamaha!

Ford is toying with the idea of spinning out its Bronco and Mustang into unique sub-brands, an idea that the automaker's been kicking around for the past couple of years. Fiat Chrysler spun off Viper into its own brand, then killed it. They also spun off Dodge Ram trucks into its own Ram brand...

Cool. But this isn't really a production-intent bike. It is a project bike and "a foundation for further development". https://www.emx-powertrain.com/project

I think I am going to buy a pair of those for my motovan to secure the third bike backwards in between my other two bikes that would face forward. I can't really use a front wheel chock with a backwards facing bike!

Husky/KTM/Brembo

I had to use a ratchet strap to compress the fork and leave the car's spare tire at home.

Sure! :ricky:

I have a more sturdy and elegant seat mod proposal for this bike:

Ouch!!! This seat post would really hurt once it bends or snaps on the first hard landing. Most of these e-bike designers never rode a dirt bike before.

@DonCox actually has a real rocket launcher that he could install on a bike, if need be. It could launch a tennis ball into the stratosphere, almost like Falcon Heavy.

An old one but a good one.

This thread has gotten very interesting! I am starting to see the appeal of buying an e-bike with a quality suspension and other components, even regardless of its overall appearance, for as long as it is fun out-of-the-box to ride and to jump.

Ask the seller to ride the bike down to 25% before the purchase. Then come to pick it up with a laptop, check it at 25%, then charge it, then check again at 100%.

Good stuff. I have pinned it in the "Should I Buy An Alta" sub-forum. I am wondering if this could be simplified somehow though. Wouldn't checking the battery at just two different SOC be sufficient?

We have some PMAC motors at work of various vintage (1-18 years). All of a sudden, in the last two years, we had to replace the encoders on all of them. Weird.

Are You Going To Buy The Bike?

When the mount vibrates, it is funny how it keeps the surroundings dead-steady, but makes it appear as if the bike vibrates like a jackhammer! :LOL: I think a longer mount would make it look like the bike is floating, like in video games and Jeff Walker videos.
