    Yamaha TY-E Trials

    I am really intrigued that Yamaha decided to add a mechanical clutch to their new trials bike. So... the clutch is not yet dead!

    Can Am to build E-bikes. BRP's Alta scraps put to good use.

    I just realized I replied with the two messages above to a wrong thread, LOL! Fixed!

    Will H-D sue them for using the tech that H-D paid for? Now they are direct competitors.

    Interesting. Four years ago they were not interested in motorcycles. Apparently, they thought there were no profit margins in them. And now they decided to produce a Zero competitor, not an Alta successor.

    Livewire is going public. Alta DNA now with 21700 batteries

    I think this idea might have actually come from Tesla or some EV car designers. The EV "skateboard" concepts and designs with structural battery packs have been floating around for years. The Model Y is now a single structural battery pack with the front and the rear single-piece cast bulkheads...

    Confused about watt numbers for a 240v genarator

    240V * 16A = 3,840 W That's true. A bigger than needed generator won't charge your bike any faster. But that is a small and slow charger. How big is your battery? How many hours would it take you to charge it? Your charger is similar to what you'd get if you plug in the Alta's charger into...

    Reservations & Delivery/Due Dates

    I ordered mine on 12/16/2021. Order number PG83641. I think the delivery was in December 2022. I also had an order in their shopping cart 2-3 days prior to that, and the delivery date was September 2022. But I could not pay because the website was freezing. So, I logged in later on 12/16/2021...

    Alta Killing Alta

    @Bionicman -- I spent several hours today searching for this post. This was out of my curiosity, but also I do not want anyone to think that mods routinely remove posts here. Such drastic actions are usually limited to spam and some flame wars. Sorry, I am head-scratching here. 🤔

    Honda enters the e-mini market with CRF-E2

    I think the youngsters at Honda and Greenger don't know what the "F" stands for, and oldtimers still don't care about electrics, not important.

    Josh Hill's Oregon Riding Compound - Some Alta content.

    Cool. At least a few DC politicians are very happy now that they can travel to their vacation homes cheaply and in comfort. But the California politicians have failed even at that, LOL! It was more tempting to just steal the money instead of building their own railroad.

    Josh Hill's Oregon Riding Compound - Some Alta content.

    I am itching to race on an all-electric 24-hour team again. The East Coast team has been slacking off for the last two years. Maybe I should join the West Coast team? Pack my motovan, if the gas prices come down, or tow a bike trailer behind my Model Y, LOL! I wish... it is 2,300 miles or 34...

    Stellantis

    They took Ferrari public and let everyone buy a piece. You can now go buy some too. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/7-things-to-know-about-ferrari-ahead-of-its-ipo-2015-07-28

    They sold Ferrari. But they couldn't sell Viagra.

    Josh Hill's Oregon Riding Compound - Some Alta content.

    Josh Hill got injured last month. He will have have to take some time off from racing to recover. I am sure Stark is not happy about that, as Josh is one of their two pro test riders and also the most well-known electric dirt bike fan and racer...

    General Brad Lackey on Alta, Stark, and the Future of Dirt Bikes.

    I had to look him up in Wikipedia: Brad Lackey (born July 8, 1953) is an American former professional motocross racer. He competed in the AMA Motocross Championships from 1970 to 1972 and, in the Motocross World Championships from 1973 to 1982. Lackey was notable for becoming the first and only...
