Haven’t been able to make some time yet. Thanks for the info as I think it will fix my problem.

Would you have a picture of what you did as I can’t seem to get my NRC rear light to work and sounds like the same problem

I’m the same as really need a stand for trail riding. Same as you my boot is constantly rubbing on the stand it’s distracting and uncomfortable. The only good thing is that the stand starts wear down and gets a little less obstructive over time. Very annoying.

Interesting in my very brief autograph session with Roger DeCoster I made a plug for electric bikes and his comment mirrored Marks. At the pro level they (KTM) tried the Alta and got 15 minutes so in their analysis current technology is not ready for top level at this time. He said something...

From my experience with the Alta, my request would be to be able to replace a battery in about 5 minutes using two big bolts. Imagine a similar configuration to the Alta but two big bolts (like swingarm bolts) that you remove and the battery drops out. Then a fully charged one goes back in. The...

It is definitely a trade off of whiskey throttle vs fatigue. I hated the half throttle at first but got used to it and literally can’t ride with a full throttle anymore. Different strokes for different folks.

Great minds…..

I am about the same weight and when riding trails aggressively in sandy conditions I get around 20 miles of range with an EXR.

I would like to agree but I personally had the ebike battery fire. it was a pack built by high power cycles in the US using Panasonic 18650 cells. Granted this was a home built bike, but it was built with high quality components from reputable vendors. The fire was extreme, like 8 feet tall...

The KTM guy Sel Narryana really seemed to be focused on safety and in particular chance of personal injury due to high voltage and fire. I recall him saying they would build in a very high margin of safety that would lower power levels making bikes have lower performance. I guess a company...

One more thing, Mark Blackwell was head of Polaris at the time they stopped doing electric motorcycle development with the Victory brand (formerly Brammo). In our brief conversation I recall him saying Polaris couldn’t justify the development expenses and put a stop to the electric program, a...

You can imagine that at this event I really had no status and only had little opportunities to engage for a minute here and there. But in short I was very disappointed that the people who really grew the motocross and industry, and in cases are now executive level seemingly had no interest in...

The event was pretty good, Rick Johnson was the MC and did a great job. I had a few brief moments to make a pitch for electric bikes: Roger DeCoster - batteries only last 15 minutes at the pro level, didn’t believe ebikes are able to directly compete but may have a small segment in future...

Yes if the integrated gear box was relatively affordable ebike conversions would be a lot easier, probably a pretty good market for the manufacture.

Nice work It would be nice if the motor manufacture offered a gearbox option so you don’t have put all this effort to build one yourself.

I appreciate the explanation as I really don’t understand how the tile devices work. I tested it with my cell phone off and it eventually updated the location but I was riding in a group so probably others had active cell phones. I know it’s not perfect but if your bike gets stolen there is a...

To be honest I’m not totally sure how the tile devices work but I’ve tested them for a couple of years now and somehow they update location pretty frequently. i have been in some pretty rural areas or on trails and the location of the tile eventually gets updated? Apple now has a similar...

I really recommend putting a tile tracker on your bike. You can hide it pretty easily. It will update the location every 5 ish minutes so so have a chance of tracking down your bike.

Maybe Electric Moto Riders So we catch the supermoto guys

That would be great to engage Mr. Stanton. I would think that when a major figure like Stanton try’s an Alta and or begins some kind of conversation about the benefits the manufactures and other industry people may listen a more. Really starting the evolution of e bikes would benefit there...
