Things like what? A competitive or practical road bike? Alta did a study and concluded that the lowest-hanging fruit that nobody had picked at that time was in motocross. This is where they could easily and convincingly beat the gas bikes. They could have decided to compete with Zero on...

We should re-watch the Mad Max movies because this is where Elon Musk seems to get his off-road inspirations from.

Elon Musk is way cooler than I thought! Yes, dammit, dirt bikes are way safer than road bikes. And electric dirt bikes are cool indeed!

Domesticated riders on motocross tracks can be very dangerous too. Just today, I was following a guy extremely closely for about 3 laps. Then, all of a sudden, he slows down in the middle of a fast whoops section and slowly cuts across the track right in front of me. I suppose, the domesticated...

You have to agree though that this custom aluminum skid plate looks very high-end and fancy, especially if you look up close. Some might prefer it just for its aesthetic properties.

I am not much of a trail rider, but on the Alta I am really enjoying going out into the mountains and enjoying the views, quietness and solitude. It's as relaxing as meditation. And way more fun than yoga.

I just watched again and noticed the audio track is hilarious! Cows mooing, birds and insects chirping, and the wind chimes chiming. Can't get any better than this on a sunny summer day in the country.

Congrats!!! (y) It is difficult but possible to replace the 9V battery without removing the main battery. Just need to wiggle things a lot. I was able to remove and check mine before I had no choice but to start swapping bigger parts between my bikes.

It is for power. Like on ICE cars, where you install bigger injectors and modify the air flow sensor signal, on EVs you can fool the controller by feeding it a reduced motor current sensor signal.

An NDA cannot prevent anyone from seeking employment. At least this is what I heard the case is in California. I am curious how Alta employees got lured into, or threatened into, signing their NDAs. It must have been either some carrot or a stick. And I am also curious if the text of the NDA is...

The Firmware Hacking Fund? That's interesting. I will then also want the Motor Current Sensor Mod Fund. If someone tweaks its output down just 20-30%, then my MXR will have 60-65 HP! So far none of the geeks bit the bait. But, I suppose, if we collect enough money, then there will be interest...

Hopefully probing her brains with electrical wires and overwriting her memory will be not be as painful. This does not sound like a lobotomy at all! :cool:

John McInnis does not have the model for these shrouds, we asked. It was on his work computer. But looking more closely, these shrouds are just as bulbous as the original ones. The side profile is a great starting point though. Blow up the site view, cut them out of cardboard or sheet plastic...

Looks good. But it might need some radiator braces. :LOL:

But you cannot reach Wonderland without going down the rabbit hole!

Liquid has the bottom battery covers, so you can damage as many as you want.

German car tuners do this all the time. Do we have the geeks on this forum able to do the same? @TCMB371 @querlenker @schwankl @sergeynik

Nothing should leak, but I wouldn't do it in the living room. Be careful and don't get electrocuted. You need to use a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften up the sealant. And pry the cover with a tiny screwdriver.

I think it's this McMaster product: Re-sealing the battery The butyl tape is correct, I am certain of this. Error while charging

You can try clearing the code and see if it comes back. The worst is you might have to turn the bike upside down, remove the bottom battery cover, and replace the desiccant bag in there. McMaster.com sells the bags, and you can buy the butyl sealant on Amazon. No need to buy a new battery.
