    BAD NEWS

    Glad Alta went with the display that they did. This one wouldn't have lasted on a dirt bike a week!

    Looks like he is the Crapshoot designer. Perhaps all other bikes too.

    Alta is back at work, secretly making the next smash hit motorcycle

    Nice motocross footage at the end, with a sidecar.

    First time seeing another Redshift in the wild.

    I can do that, only a 4 hour drive for me.

    New article [nothing new tho]

    An interesting observation -- there is no chain, but the sound is still about the same as on the Redshift. So where is this high-pitch whiney RC model-like sound *really* coming from? The two drive gears? The ball bearings? The motor? Perhaps our resident Zero experts @Oded , @rayivers ...

    Another forum's milestone!

    We now have 300 members! Say hi to @Luke_SM from Ohio, he tipped us over the edge yesterday! Even with all the negative publicity around Alta Motors, our forum is still growing strong. Perhaps this is because people come here to read and to share all the Alta news. Let's hope Alta pulls...

    First time seeing another Redshift in the wild.

    Next Wednesday or Thursday should work for me. Are the tracks open 7 days a week there in SoCal?

    That's what I kept telling you guys. That capacitor on top of the battery is a Flux Capacitor! :ricky:

    Alta parts on back order...any one got any yet?

    Yesterday I wrote an email to Carolyn Jones, the only Alta employee that I knew was still there, and asked about the parts and about the situation with Alta. Got a reply today. I highlighted some of the key points. Hi Philip. At the moment I am the only Alta employee still working to resolve...

    Poll: Primary Use of Your Alta?

    I'd put the extra battery packs on both sides of the stock battery. Having any weight high in the rear will mess up the bike's handling and stability really bad.

    Poll: Primary Use of Your Alta?

    I think you should build add-on battery packs before the to-go chargers. Some guys might want to buy small emergency add-ons, just enough to get them home if the main battery dies. Some will want to increase their riding range. I might even buy/build an SM then, if I can make a 50-mile round...

    Poll: Primary Use of Your Alta?

    Welcome, Ed. It seems like we are pretty evenly split between the MX/MXR and EX/EXR owners. You wouldn't buy a bike with a headlight for a MX track, but you might buy a MX bike for trail riding, so I'd think that most owners do trial riding at least part-time. Poll - which Redshift model do...

    N2Dirt and Dal Soggio Sphere Upgrade

    Glad I didn't go with the shock bladder. I wanted to keep my RaceTech nitrogen charging bolt because this is what I use in all my other bikes, and I have a needle to poke it.

    There was at least one more patent -- A heat shield to prevent a thermal runaway. Although I am now having a hard time finding it.

    Hopefully Tony is done posting patents. I have combined the six patents into one thread because none of them seem to be interesting enough individually to warrant a group discussion.
