come on haters! if brp uses alta parts then alta parts will be available! how is this a bad thing? if they continue to use Alta's technology then maybe as technology moves forward some of it may be used to upgrade Altas. the majority of the bike can be replaced with existing parts from other...

I am running knobbies on my sm for the winter. I am running irc ve33 and ve 35 460/100/17 front and 510/100/17 rear. I bought extra sm wheels from liquid performance off of eBay and the wheels came with sprockets, rotors and spacers. first I tried 19 and 21inch alta wheels(also from liquid) but...

hey if they continue to manufacture them and use them in new products then maybe stuff can be retrofitted as technology increases. it's a possible ray of sunshine, bask in it!!

in the sub article linked to Honda will work with Ktm etc(see above link) brp introduces 6 new electric vehicles there is a center podium containing a very altaish looking battery...any one else see this?

QUICK. someone send them an alta battery! wouldn't it be cool if you could pull up, and swap batteries like you do bbq grill propane tanks, and keep on riding?

if a man can put it together another man should be able to take it apart....I just know I'm not that man!!

as far as the aftermarket goes lubricants other than grease, pipes ,jet kits and power commanders will take a hit but a new market for batteries and controllers will be created to fill the void. ebikes still need tires, wheels, handlebars, levers, grips, brakes, sprockets, chains, plastics...

there is a multitude of electric 2 wheelers out there, look around! most are either street bikes where weight isn't that important or are mountain bike hybrids. learning to shave weight and increase range is the single most important factor in successfully marketing an electric off road bike and...

that's the trouble with living in the desert, no trees, have to loosen the whole front end and do it the hard way!!

it is a very cool bike. I've been bitten a few times(alta being no exception) by companies going belly up after I buy one of their products and I like to wait a few years until the product is perfected or abandoned. also I owned a cz(Czech motocrosser) and it was undoubtedly the worst motorcycle...

no available skid plate (yet), no quick change battery option and $6500 more than a Sur Ron! looks cool but those are some pretty serious drawbacks. 3 grand buys a Sur Ron a 72v battery and an asi bac8000 controller and charger with $3500 left over to upgrade brakes and suspension.my Sur Ron has...

there was also a bonanza/hodaka with smaller wheels...this is what my steen/hodaka looked like except that mine was blue

bonanza typhoon...cool little bike. I had a steen minicycle with a hodaka engine. it's hard to believe that at one time a 100cc bike ruled in the desert. hodaka super rat!!!

on an endless downhill with the motor off you have unlimited range. you all know that range is dependent on weight, speed and conditions, my sm is rated at up to an hour but I nearly empty the battery in 20 minutes, am I crying? no way it's a hell of a 20 minutes!!!!! be happy and know that...

not really an off road tire, unless you're riding an adventure bike. 600 lb dirt bikes? I think the adventure may be the emergency room(sorry to anyone who rides an adventure bike, I just don't get it)

improvisation is the key to happiness! I'm running a rear tire on the front of my sm! sticks well on corners.

running IRC VE 33 VULCANDURO'S . 4.60X17 front and 5.10X17 rear

ordered light speed 72v 30ah battery, light speed asi bac 8000 controller package and a 72 v 2-12 amp adjustable charger. I went with the smaller battery because it drops in without any battery compartment modifications. larger batteries are taller and require battery box lid to be raised or...

race spec Sur Ron for riser, footpeg brace, and seat. milk racing for 21 inch wheel. modern bike for 3"rise handle bar, eBay for rear suspension lift and I'm still up in the air about battery and controller, Asi's bac 8000 seems cool but apparently the guys a jerk and takes forever to ship items...

yep. it's gonna get expensive but like you said different niches. I don't have great riding areas around me and when I do travel a few hours to ride I wanna ride all day so I go i.c.e. but for where I live I have two 1 1/2 mile loops of very tight trails with only small hills and I'm thinking...
