I was planning to make some 7mm spacers for folks to use with KTM front wheels, but many of the same folks just switched their triple clamps as well, plus Alta just closed doors. I wonder if those spacers are the same as KTM's, only 7mm longer. The MX/EX front wheels use a thicker axle than...

In the US the average annual mileage driven is about 12K miles. Divide this by approximately 250 days driven and it comes out to a 48 miles/day commute. Mine is 50 miles/day. The SM's range is a bit too short to cover this range reliably. Not everyone has an opportunity to plug in their bike...

I could make those spacers, should be easy. Need about 4-6 weeks. Why do you need them, I am curious, and how soon do you need them?

About the front spacers... I just got off the phone with Warp 9. They have never had the front wheel spacers. Alta has been making the front spacers themselves. This is why they do not have them. BRP hasn't called them, I was glad to hear that.

This thread deserves to be stickied!

Lots of us are probably willing to speak for days about the questions that you posted. I am thinking you also have questions and ideas about a new and improved business model. I think Alta's mistake was that they were overly optimistic by targeting the mainstream MX and Off-Road market this...

This is awesome, Tim! I want to help you as much as I can.

Some people do not fully appreciate how many things Alta Motors has done right with the Redshift. How well-designed and well-thought out all the critical systems are. Their first production bike was a smashing success, at least among those who rode and bought it.

I would be curious to know if an Alta's motor with a housing, a reduction gear, a battery, inverter and controller, etc. is a lot heavier than a 450cc 4-stroke motor, a gearbox, exhaust, and a full 2-gallon gas tank.

Ok, so 115kg is 253 lbs. Is the HP 50hp like on the MXR or 40hp like on the MX. Are zero motors never water cooled? Just trying to access here whether Alta has achieved any extraordinary on-paper performance specifications, or whether it can be replicated by anyone with a garage and a welder.

The rear Alta wheels are exactly the same as KTM's. The front Alta wheels have hubs that are wider by 7mm on each side. KTM wheels will fit too, just with 7mm axle spacers and 7mm caliper spacers.

WHAT??! I was late to call Warp 9 by a few minutes today, they just closed. Need to find out what exactly BRP told them.

+1 ! I am very curious to know what power/weight numbers were you able to achieve on this DIY build, once you have your 5.3 kWh battery.

Ebay -- Alta Redshift

www.altamotors.co is down... then back up

A Hall Effect sensor produces a digital frequency signal, not an analog voltage (or is it not the case with slow moving magnets??). It is probably much less noisy too, which is a very good thing if you have 50hp.

LHFF -- Left Hand Fast Throttle !!!

Beautiful bike. Looks like you value it more than the current depressed marketplace does. If this is the case, then keep it!

If you call Elite Motorsports and they say they do not have them anymore, you can either make one yourself or ask someone to make one for you. Here are the instructions: 240v female to 110v male adapter

Steve, you should edit the poll to add an option for those who want a new and improved battery. I would buy a battery only if it was better (lighter, or had a bigger capacity, or was cooled and could give me 60+ hp!).
