    Connecting multiple batteries together

    Here are some odd battery facts that I learned today: According to batterystuff.com: "To join batteries in parallel, use a jumper wire to connect both the positive terminals, and another jumper wire to connect both the negative terminals of both batteries to each other. Negative to negative...

    The Forum's New Milestone!

    Are the 2019 SM's already out?

    There is no telling when the 2019 SMR will come out. This must be a secret. But I am wondering if the 2019 SM's are already out, unchanged, like the 2019 MXR's? If the answer is no, then we should be expecting some new and improved SM models, or the SM will get discontinued and replaced with...

    My Moto Van build thread

    I thought I should create a thread to document my van build. Maybe it would help others. Or maybe others will help me. It will definitely create more accountability for me to continue working on it and eventually finish it. I will be posting progress pictures and maybe will make a video some...

    This is just in: "Our sources tell us that Harley-Davidson has all but removed itself from its joint motorcycle project with Alta, and backed out of its involvement in the San Francisco startup." Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways Interesting. I hope Alta is not cash strapped...

    My decal graphics from Limited Decal

    I finally got around to installing the custom decal kit that I ordered from Limited Decal onto my MXR. I had to buy a heat gun. Without it the installation would have not been possible on this bike. There were no installation instructions in the box. I am glad I had a spare Attack Graphics...

    Matt Sanders - Redshift EX (Alta Motors Video)

    This guy can film. And he can talk. An excellent video from a non-racer. He covered all the fundamentals so well.

    Reusing used Tesla batteries

    Tesla's used 5.3kWh 24V batteries sell for ~$1,400 on eBay. They are pretty small, weigh only 55 lbs, and are almost enough to fully charge the Redshift from empty. Just add a BMS, a charge controller, a 24V inverter/charger, and perhaps a few fail-safe systems. This video also shows some...

    How often to check the WP AER48 fork air pressure?

    I am new to air forks, if I didn't count mountain bikes. I have never had one on my dirt bike before I got my MXR. I bought the MXR almost 3 months ago, but I haven't adjusted or even checked the pressure since the dealer set it when they unboxed the bike. The fork still seems fine, but I...

    Congrats to all Alta Owners! Last week our forum membership surpassed 100. Not a large number, but it will surely increase as Alta Motors keeps building and selling bikes. With that in mind, I thought I would find a way to make it easier to locate other Alta owners nearby. Introducing: Member...
