    Putting a dollar amount on a charge

    I was hoping you guys could help me with whatever formula would be needed to put a dollar amount on a charge when plugged into an electric service. I think until these become a common thing and to the point that tracks install dedicated charging stations (if that ever does happen), there may be...

    I don’t know if it was staged or not, but wow.

    David Pingree Racer X article June 2018

    Page 66 of this months issue of Racer X David Pingree does an article on the MX and MXR. He did a good video a short time back that many of us have already seen, and this was his write up on that experience. He says a lot of good things overall. I had a big smile at his “The Redshift turns so...

    European/Australian generators

    I keep thinking these would be the ticket for Alta owners, so I’m thinking out load here for the sake of discussion. Since our 240v generators here in the states are mostly all the large home backup power type, and since as Ray had mentioned the new fast charger only requires 16 amp draw on...

    What is your favorite piece of gear?

    Not saying which is the most important, but what one thing do you say "man I like this" every time you put it on? For me it's knee brace socks, I have a pair of Fox Racings product and I love them. Keeps the knee braces (and even knee guards!) from rubbing against your skin and the socks stay...

    MXR ride review, ride #1 Tomahawk MX Park, Hedgesville, West Virginia, USA I took my MXR out to a practice track yesterday for it's maiden voyage. 1.5 mile long track, lots of natural elevation change, a fairly 50/50 mix of loamy and and hardpack. For myself I'm a lightweight at 160-165 in...

    SXS Skidplate/Slideplate

    Here are some pictures of my skid/slide plate from SX Slideplates. My initial install impressions are very good. It fit up nicely and has excellent coverage even protecting the linkage. The plate is made of thick plastic, it looks like it will slide over obstacles better than a typical...

    Video of one MXR owners total ride time

    Found this video on Youtube. Everyone's favorite question, how long does the battery last? The author did a ride to see how long he could go. He got 2 hours 45 minutes out of it. You can argue he's riding slow, the trails are easy, etc, but I think it's a good tool to gauge what one might...

    Battery Technology and Best practice battery care

    There are a couple things I’d like to understand better about these batteries to give them the best chance of maximum life. They claim battery life at 1000 charge cycles which is being used interchangeably with 1000 hours, that’s assuming the average user is going to average an hour out of a...

    Ready to ride in the northeast

    I’ve been interested in the Alta for a couple of years. I ride a mix of tracks and trails, nothing competitive, purely for fun. When the announcement at the beginning of the year came out about the price drop and the new MXR I said to myself that would be my next bike. I had myself talked...

    Nate Adams does a back flip on an Alta

    Good Alta promo video Probably going to see some Altas in freestyle sooner than later. I wonder how the freestyle guys are going to adapt the characteristics of the Alta in the air to their routines?

    List of aftermarket products for the Alta

    I'd like to start a thread listing any aftermarket products you have found for the Alta. This list will be slow to start I'm sure, but at some point will pick up speed as more of these bikes find there way into garages. Controls - Harnesses allow for 2” handlebar risers - Levers that fit...
