I am having issues with my 6.0 kWh 12V setup with Battleborn batteries and AIMS inverter. I am drooling over this Tesla 24V battery setup now, I wish I had gone this route. It would have been way cheaper and maybe even simpler, considering all the wasted time I already spent on the phone with...

@Mark911 -- How many 18650 batteries did you end up using, and what is the nominal voltage?

Hope it has a 200-mile range so that I could ride all day, else I would say that your battery technology is not really that great. :p

He owns the KTM, not the Alta, so of course the KTM is better because he made the right buying decision, of course.

Let me summarize his math that doesn't add up in his mind: "For an extra $2,000 you get more than twice the horsepower and a real dirt bike, but you do not get twice the range, therefore the Alta's battery technology is not that great. Besides, KTM is a bigger company, therefore they will...

This is pretty common. Owners of new ICE bikes hate the idea of their bikes becoming obsolete and worthless. The more someone pays for what they buy, the easier it is for them to rationalize that they bought the best there was to buy. Alta owners are, of course, a notable exception because our...

Hahaha! This is so funny! What an (electric) shock! Another shit talker converted. Well done, Bryan!

My lower back has been bothering me, so now I have to ride standing up more. I couldn't do these tight turns standing up last year, but this year I have no choice!

I had only one spoke spin on me so far. I had to hold it with vice grips to run the nut back and forth a few times, then tighten it, while still holding it. I also used spray chain lube to lube the threads. I usually lube all the spoke nipples on all my new bikes. I didn't do it on my Altas, I...

Wow! So now I know where some of the ex-Alta guys went. If you add three more R-packs and motors to the SMR, you will have 200 hp, 200 miles of range, and the total weight comparable to something like a Honda CBR600. The MSRP of $40K looks like a deal breaker at the current time though.

Can I get 30% for the mobile charging station that I have in my motovan?

Welcome, @Cyssko! Oh wow! We need more pictures, or more videos, or more of everything. Maybe this will turn into an awesome Video thread or an awesome Build thread!

Okay, I am going to enable the Rotate function for all Well-Known Members. To find it click the drop-down arrow circled in red. For now, rotate your own pictures only. WARNING!!! It will rotate the pictures every time you use this function, but it WILL NOT rotate them in your browser...

This is going to be the test of drivers' sanity once camper vans start coming from the factory with autopilots. I wonder if there will be some people engaging their autopilot and going to take a nap, haha!

Cool! I want to see the video of this guy!

Pictures flipped. Very nice!!! Will the bikes be normally parked backwards? I can see some advantages to that, but it is a PITA to load them in backwards.

So, does it looks like the Alta fork could use more low-speed damping to keep that 35% gain on the KTM at all damping speeds?

This is an old one, perhaps from the times when Ryan Villopoto was the champ.
