A company like Polaris might buy both, but they probably won't continue building dirt bikes. They want the patented tech, not necessary the source code. It might be possible to buy it from them later, but I hope it does not come to that.

The Alta's IP would consist of a patented technology and the source code. The patented technology can be sold to anyone, but the source code not so much.

Left foot rear brake (LFRB)?? Is the shifter on the right then?? It's like someone who likes RHD cars has decided to build a motorcycle, LOL!

Good thing the value of the company is in its IP and its infrastructure/machinery combined together, not broken apart and sold piece-by-piece. Either way, I believe it should work out ok. Just need to make sure whoever buys it keeps building bikes and not switch to golf carts. I am sure the...

So tempting! I am getting greedy. Beautiful bike.

I am glad I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I have only broken legs, heels, knees, and ribs.

Maybe they will pay for a rental car for ~10 days, while the bike sits in the dealer's service dept.

WTH? What did you do? This looks like a thermal strip to me. We should install those on our batteries.

Wasn't is 1 gallon? We've talked about this before somewhere.

If you are not in a rush, politely (not to antagonize them unnecessary) name what you would pay, and wait for them to accept it over the next several weeks.

$10K is way-way too much. I'd then buy a new VIN #444 from the Classifieds instead.

And you two are within an hour from each other too. And you have all those Sony batteries next door. Very nice! Please build me a 10 kWh battery pack with a programmable controller!

It's the batteries that you may need to keep warm, not the controller. The batteries do not have any cooling going to them. You'd need an electric heat blanket instead. Or do not stop with a low battery for too long.

The dealer should be able to check the hours and the mileage with a diagnostics laptop. If it has had the latest firmware but hasn't had a fault code yet, then I'd say it is unlikely to have it in the future. That's the good part about buying used bikes. Scare the dealer that you are buying a...

There you go, an inspiration for you: Now for something completely different... The batteries must be kept above 32F, or the controller won't let you charge them. Can't take long smoke breaks!
