After the late 2017 software update, this map information is not current. The guides are still useful though, for reference.

By Tim Huber - February 23, 2018 Bike of the Week: Alta Motor’s “The Crapshoot” Drag Racer Alta Motors brings something you might not expect to the 2018 One Moto Show in the form of a custom Redshift-based drag build. Founded in 2010 as BRD Motorcycles, Alta Motors has quickly earned a solid...

Alta Motors' electric motorbikes are ready for the mainstream Electric motorcycles have reached parity with gas-burning bikes thanks to Alta Motors. by Kyle Hyatt February 1, 2018 5:00 AM PST Alta Motors is one of the most exciting names in the burgeoning electric motorcycle market. By...

When I first test-rode the Redshift, I immediately noticed that the rear brake was too grabby. My Husky TC250 rear brake is the same way too, but on the Alta you have no flywheel! The solution that I found is to install the Fasst Company rear brake return spring...

Got these Tusk YZ250/450F foot pegs installed. They are working very well. Feet stay put and do not slide anymore. I'm more confident when standing up too. I have race tested them already, they work great. The installation was not very smooth though. Tusk left too much aluminum near the return...

In case you haven't seen this yet, these guys from Texas are hilarious!

I am shopping for a 240V generator. I want to charge the bike at the track between the motos quickly. Need something small, light, cheap, and quiet. Preferably with an electric start. Pick two, right? Did a quick Google search. There is a bunch of 220V generators on Alibaba and such, priced...

This is the cheapest Clake model (still expensive!), made as an upgrade over Rekluse and fits well with the KTM's Brembo clutch lever. It works well, better than the Rekluse. Perfect for trail riding and sand. But it needs more power for hardpack and clay.

Went to practice in the sand today. New track, not pushing hard. Stopped after 10 minutes, noticed some fluid on the lower frame members. Tastes either like coolant or like brake fluid, I cannot tell, not a drinker of this stuff. No LHRB fluid leaks. I wiped it off and went out again. Another...

Went to practice in the sand today. New Goldentyre Fatty in the front with Tube Saddle, at 6psi! The tire worked great. This is my new favorite sant and rock tire. It is sized at 90/100-21. Wider that average, with a larger OD, and with stiff sidewalls. This allows to run lower tire pressures...

Pitch in what your experience has been with map selection. Here are my notes: Map 1 -- Great for beginners, amazing for climbing slippery ands rocky hills, saving battery and extending range. Map 2 -- Trail riding. I like the extra regenerative engine braking in this map. Map 3 -- Great for...

My 1st race of the season is one week away. I just signed up for Round 3 of the WORCS racing series in Lake Havasu City, AZ: https://worcsracing.com/round-3-4-mc-crazy-horse-lake-havasu-az-march-23-25-2018 The race is 55 minutes long, and the battery will probably not last to the end. But I...

It took me longer than a couple of rides to realize that I can control the rear wheel slip way better than I could with a gas engine. Power sliding is a breeze, at any speed. Today I came across this Youtube video. A dude put an electric powertrain in a drift car. He is an engineer, but the...

Last year I made myself a nice figure 8 or cloverleaf track in my tiny backyard. It is 1st gear only, but it is still a lot of fun and a good practice! I try to create and maintain decent ruts, so that I could practice them. That was last year, before I bough my Redshift. I was only able to...
