    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    Alta has to very careful and deliberate every step of the way. There is a fine line between what they have achieved and all of the other players including HD, having the tech to duplicate Alta's engineering. Once the genie is out of the bottle, all the other players may be at an advantage with...

    Perry Mountain 24 Hour Challenge -- June 1-2, 2019

    That sounds like a blast! I wish I wasn't on a Navy ship right now.....that and I won't have my Alta till next summer. :) Have fun, it sounds like a really good time!

    Alta SMR has hit the showrooms.......

    Well then if it uses the same battery pack it should be a whole lot of fun for about 30 seconds!

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    I hope so. They are the first to take it all the way and deserve to remain a force in the market.

    Rumor: Harley-Davidson and Alta Motors Are Parting Ways

    I hope Harley didn't just run with the tech. And I really hope Alta will keep their talent energized and on the leading edge of what's about to come. The ZERO and KTM efforts missed the mark for serious MX or serious off roading. And maybe they weren't trying to do that. Alta is the first...

    Unresponsive motorcycle

    I know the wait has to be painful. I hope when they find the issue it's one of those things you won't be concerned about happening again.

    Has the dealer given you any updates on the progress? Three weeks is a looooong time.

    LED light options

    At least one of those bikes won't drip oil onto the carpet. ;) Headlight looks great!

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Well now it makes me want 4 or 5 booster packs, hang on!

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    I like the way you think Phillip. The area under the seat may be a good place for a booster pack. An electrical connection, cooling fluid port and you're in business. They could build all EXR's with the necessary ports on the existing battery and sell the booster packs as accessories. I'd...

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    Since Alta has already done an amazing job pushing the limits of current battery technology, and a new breakthrough tech likely is a long way off, I'd love to see an option for a battery that's 1.5 times the size of the current offering. I know the MX guys wouldn't need this, but at 160lbs...

    Best Alta Generator

    Thanks for the heads up Phillip. I will not be getting the Onan. I'll have to see if I can find a propane 240V gen in the 5.5 to 6.5k range since I'll be powering everything else in the hauler as well. I kind of want to avoid a gas engine if I can. One generator for the whole package would be...

    Best Alta Generator

    Would be good to know what will work. I'm planning on getting my EXR and an ATC toy hauler next summer. An option on the hauler is an Onan 5.5kw propane generator. I'm not going to pay the extra 5k if that gen can't charge the EXR on 240v, it is after all a 120v generator. My guess is two of...

    2019 / 2020 wish list

    A lot of great ideas in this thread. I know a lot of you ride at designated bike parks, but some ride in more remote areas. One thing I'd like to see is the ability to switch to a miser mode. Another switch or setting that would allow a rider who has become turned around or took the wrong...

    Warranty/Dealer question

    I think you guys have nailed it. We really need to be able to perform our own updates and being able to adjust maps etc would be a huge plus as well. If Alta can incorporate a good self diagnostic report to assist the owner in troubleshooting issues, as well as generating a report to send back...

    Riding a 30 mile poker run tomorrow on my EXR

    Awesome! What do you estimate your average speed might have been?

    65° throttle

    Looking forward to some info on this as well.

    Warranty/Dealer question

    It sure would be great if firmware updates etc. could be done by the owner. Too bad the necessary software can't be used on my own laptop. Anyway, I still want to get an EXR. Maybe if I take it to a couple local shops it would be enough to convince them to become a dealer. If renting the...
