So now BRP has the Alta tech and Polaris has the Zero tech. Neither one wants to make motorcycles. But I am cheering for Polaris. Here is a good interview with the CEOs of Zero and Polaris: Polaris And Zero Motorcycles Ride Together To Build Electric Off-Road Vehicles And Snowmobiles

You are right! I thought Polaris was one of the BRP brands, but no, it is a standalone US company.

I didn't know that Indian was owned by Polaris. Huh. I hope BRP and Harley start an EV trade war and both go bankrupt!

A few things here: 1) Someone needs to warn Zero to not walk into the same trap as Alta did. 2) They are partnering to build Polaris products, not Zero products. I wouldn't expect any motorcycles to come out of this, perhaps only quads and boats.

You will need an aftermarket controller and an aftermarket inverter in order to control the aftermarket battery. There may not be an elegant way to fit them into the Alta's frame, which is designed for the Alta inverter and battery. It might be easier to just build a brand-new bike.

Wow, I must have missed out! I need to watch this!!! Spaceballs - Wikipedia "Spaceballs has made an impact on popular culture and been used as a referent and inspiration in other properties. Tesla Motors has used Spaceballs' starship speeds (Light Speed, Ridiculous Speed, Ludicrous Speed...

+1 This is how he got the Alta's attention too -- on social media. They kept ignoring him until he photoshopped his racing number on an Alta. That got their attention.

Maybe it could be 17% better and 56% cheaper.

We need to ask Elon to engineer a dirt bike frame filled with glued-in battery cells that is lighter and stronger than carbon fiber.

There are a few tasty EV tech tidbits there!

It is worth mentioning that it is okay to be an Apple hater and still enjoy Long Way Up. You can watch Apple TV+ on a Windows computer in your browser. Use an HDMI cable to watch on a large TV screen, or use the Chrome browser to broadcast to your Chromecast.

It is captivating. I wished all three episodes in one day, LOL! They will be releasing one new episode per week after this.

I haven't seen the earlier announced diesel truck carrying a huge diesel generator yet. Have they been able to get by without it? I am drooling over their Sprinter van with a big-ass solar panel that tilts and also doubles as an awning. That was my idea!!! :mad:

Watching!!!

Tuning the 4CS forks is tough. In order to make them soak in loose rocks, the high-speed compression has to be very low, very diggressive. You can't change the high-speed damping with clickers, you have to revalve it. Loosening the rebound might help. But, as I remember, the stock 4CS already...

Charging at 2kW from 110V makes little difference at the track when you have just a half an hour to charge. You really need the Rapid charger running at 240V and pulling 16A, so that is almost 4kW.

For $1K and 80 lbs each I would buy five of those. Two to charge my Altas and three to add an electric rear drive to my ProMaster.

How about Battery Bank to charge the Alta?

I think you can rename your own thread, can't you? Yes, the title wasn't as exciting as what you are describing.
