    My ProMaster Build

    Cool. So you have found that actuators on 3 our of 4 bed corners are enough? And do they synch with each other in any way? Or are you hoping they would all spin at about the same speed? Could you please post the pictures of these latches? I am in the process of designing my own bed latches...

    2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

    When I was into cars, most of our national gatherings were in Indiana and Michigan. We tried to go as far west as St. Louis and Memphis, hoping to lure out the West coasters, but it seemed that to them anything farther than Vegas or Phoenix was too far away and required to take more than a whole...

    Yamaha Europe is working on a full size e-MX bike!

    Looks like the business situation is almost the same as with Honda and Mugen. The OEM supports a project that is run by a small independent company. If it succeeds and proves competitive, maybe they will then hire the folks who built it to build a real OEM electric dirt bike.

    KTM is changing its tune about electric bikes (and MXA is playing along)

    I hope it is fewer years than that. Ther SX-E 5 is a good bike for 8-10-year olds. Once they turn 13-15, they can already practice on full-sized bikes.

    KTM is changing its tune about electric bikes (and MXA is playing along)

    “We want kids to grow up with our electric bikes,” said KTM America President John Hinz during the KTM SX-E 5 intro. KTM and Husky plan to have a complete line of electric bikes for little Johnny to ride when he graduates from the SX-E 5 or Husky’s EE 5 version. KTM and Husqvarna owner Stefan...

    Maybe it has something to do with Palo Alto, CA?
