Agreed. And like the restaurant business, your chances of successfully starting a motor vehicle company from scratch are near zero, much less thriving and becoming profitable. I'm amazed that they did as well as they did and accomplished as much as they did. I don't see that it would have...

Lol, you guys are killing me here. Our local elk herd was not pleased when I rolled by them on a side road. The bull elks immediately took the defensive stance facing in my direction. You could tell this was a new sound to them and they were not pleased. Cows, horses, and dogs, same thing, what...

Absolutely, its a beautiful piece of work and again, very generous to have taken the time to design it, build it, document it, and share it with all of it. I hope I have not insulted anyone by referencing the SXS plate, feel free to delete my post(s) if they are out of place here. -Eddie

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade and I do appreciate people sharing their designs, its very generous, but for those looking for skid plates are you aware that the SXS skid plates are available? Good quality, I love mine, $164 directly from SXS in Idaho.

I love stopping to smell the roses and take in the sights, gas fume free smells, and the sounds of nature. My last ride up in the mountains I stopped on a wooden bridge just above a river and took in the sounds of the flowing water. It felt so nice to just pull up, roll off the throttle, stop...

Good info, thanks! I miss my Evolution pegs on my Alta, my old KTM ones did not fit and I've been meaning to look into this for some time.

Just sent them an email begging them to produce an Alta like e-dirt bike, Lol.

I just sent them an email begging them to consider developing an Alta like e-dirt bike, Lol.

Plastics are so cheap I wouldn't even worry about finding which set is the "cheapest", but like you mentioned, using the most common is a good idea. I would think any of the plastics for any of the majors will be around for some time now in the aftermarket if not from the OEM's. Same with sub...

Looks good. I’m planning on keeping things from the ‘14 KTM range since so many of the Alta parts are already from the’14 KTM model year range. Makes it easier for me to keep track of, also if I ever sell it, will be an easier sell, ie, except for proprietary Alta parts, all other parts are ‘14 KTM.

My preference would be completely re-designed plastics that used typical dirt bike plastics fasteners like every other dirt bike has been using for the last forever years. The overly fiddly screws with spacers (tiny spacers!) into guaranteed to fail brass inserts in plastic is about the worst...

Trip meters. Hill hold. Traction control (to limit run away rear wheel spin when the wheel is not in contact with the ground). Programmable regen. Regen increase/decrease on the fly (like the power mode setup, click up for more regen, click down for less). There's surely many more cool...

My two orders with Liquid Performance have gone smoothly, very fast shipping, thanks for supporting us guys. -Eddie

Same here.

Yes of course.

F150 has had an aluminum body/bed for years now. And not trying to convince you to buy an F150 vs an eventual Tesla pickup purchase, just mentioning it since you mentioned cars rotting out from underneath you. One thing I do not miss about living back in NJ.

I agree on the above. I've been amazed how well the value of these bikes seems to have stabilized. I bought mine used after Alta went out of business and was prepared to eventually lose a bunch of cash on the purchase. So far, that has not happened and I don't see any signs of the value of the...

I was wondering about the CG. Keep us posted as you fiddle around with it, looks like a super fun project.

Nice! I have a fantasy of opening an e-bike only ORV facility on an idle 90 acre tract that the family collectively owns on the eastern seaboard in Canada. The reasons why this is a bad idea and will never happen are many. But I can not stop thinking about it. And a shot of my all time...

Neck snapping torque, nice! I want one, Lol.
