    Beautiful riding footage as well!

    My Clake LHRB

    I was talking about the Rekluse adapter. They use almost the same adapter. I do not like their bicycle lever myself. They have a new design out that works better though. But maybe the Rekluse adapter has a small bicycle brake line fitting going in, I do not know... I just went to the garage...

    My Clake LHRB

    You may be able to buy that adapter from Rekluse as well. @Butch has the Alta's secret new LHRB that appears to use the Brembo clutch master. He posteda thread about it. We are waiting for him to post the details.

    Great forum

    Welcome to the Alta Owners Forum! Many of us feel the same about Facebook. It is easy to use, good for some things, but are horrible for others. Web forums still have their place on the web.

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    Apparently, there were no 2017 Redshift SM models, so it makes sense that yours is a 2018. I think the extra 2 hp was a software update. Ask your dealer to check and flash the latest software. Extra 10hp can be flashed in too, probably, but it will boil the battery (and/or burn some wires...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    Yes, you would have to re-wire or replace the male connector of this power cord. The flat pins of the 110V female plugs should go to the left and right pins of the 240V male plug. The ground is connected to the ground (top) pin. Other 240V connector types will have similar pin arrangements, so...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    You, me, and other early adopters have already lost $2K - $4.5K on our bikes the minute Alta announced the price reductions. There is no going back. Keeping or selling the bike does not change that, unfortunately. The 3rd stage of grief is Bargaining. I got this update from Alta back in...

    Alta in my backyard

    I know, I know. I have been thinking about it for the whole last week, I needed to stay there at least for another month.

    Alta in my backyard

    It was about 32F yesterday. By the time I was done power washing the bike, it was covered with ice! Normally, it would be too cold to ride in this weather, but at low speeds it was not bad at all. I didn't even realize it was this cold until I grabbed the washed bike and felt ice on the grips...

    Lets ditch the gas vs. electric debate and get to talking about owning an Alta

    This is the kind of 240V power outlet that I have on my 240V generator: Look at the circular 120V and 240V markings around the outlet, it will give you clues on how it works. The generator comes with a spare male plug, but I'd have to wire it myself. Amazon says people buy this short power...

    Riding an Alta Redshift in my backyard

    It was difficult to lean the bike any further, the foot pegs were dragging in the ruts!

    Alta Redshift SM

    I would have to ask someone at work if I could run a power cord out of the facility, or out of the Security building. Not so easy to get a power outlet at work. Any tips?

    Alta Redshift SM

    Beautiful bike! I am sure everyone here is secretly envying you and wants to have the SM as well. I want to own one as well, if I can make a round drip to work and back on one charge with some juice to spare. At this time it is a bit too close for comfort for me. But I am hoping...

    New MX-R

    I think Alta is a black box for now. We would have to disassemble and reverse-engineer things. I will poke the throttle with a multimeter next time I dig into the bike deep enough to reach its connectors. Another option is to ask Alta. They still have engineers doing Tech support, so they...

    New MX-R

    Ray, do you think you could figure out a shorter throttle for the Alta? The stock throttle seems a bit long, it needs frequent re-gripping, and my right wrist gets tired at MX tracks too early.

    New MX-R

    Welcome to the Alta Owners Forum, Ray! WOW! LOL! That is an impressive list of mods on your Zero. But I see all of them (other than the throttle) are for things that are mechanical, not electrical. This makes me feel so grateful that I do not need to do all this work on my Alta.

    Redshift EX videos

    I think I may want a drone to follow my practice sessions or races. Except, I once bought an automatic follow-me camera setup, but I never used it because setting it up was too much hassle. Which video editing software are you using? I want something that it quick and simple to use. I have...
