Yesterday I wrote an email to Carolyn Jones, the only Alta employee that I knew was still there, and asked about the parts and about the situation with Alta. Got a reply today. I highlighted some of the key points. Hi Philip. At the moment I am the only Alta employee still working to resolve...

I'd put the extra battery packs on both sides of the stock battery. Having any weight high in the rear will mess up the bike's handling and stability really bad.

I think you should build add-on battery packs before the to-go chargers. Some guys might want to buy small emergency add-ons, just enough to get them home if the main battery dies. Some will want to increase their riding range. I might even buy/build an SM then, if I can make a 50-mile round...

Welcome, Ed. It seems like we are pretty evenly split between the MX/MXR and EX/EXR owners. You wouldn't buy a bike with a headlight for a MX track, but you might buy a MX bike for trail riding, so I'd think that most owners do trial riding at least part-time. Poll - which Redshift model do...

Glad I didn't go with the shock bladder. I wanted to keep my RaceTech nitrogen charging bolt because this is what I use in all my other bikes, and I have a needle to poke it.

Any member can add free resources there. Sounds like you just volunteered! ;)

There was at least one more patent -- A heat shield to prevent a thermal runaway. Although I am now having a hard time finding it.

Hopefully Tony is done posting patents. I have combined the six patents into one thread because none of them seem to be interesting enough individually to warrant a group discussion.

A company like Polaris might buy both, but they probably won't continue building dirt bikes. They want the patented tech, not necessary the source code. It might be possible to buy it from them later, but I hope it does not come to that.

The Alta's IP would consist of a patented technology and the source code. The patented technology can be sold to anyone, but the source code not so much.

Left foot rear brake (LFRB)?? Is the shifter on the right then?? It's like someone who likes RHD cars has decided to build a motorcycle, LOL!

Good thing the value of the company is in its IP and its infrastructure/machinery combined together, not broken apart and sold piece-by-piece. Either way, I believe it should work out ok. Just need to make sure whoever buys it keeps building bikes and not switch to golf carts. I am sure the...

So tempting! I am getting greedy. Beautiful bike.

I am glad I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I have only broken legs, heels, knees, and ribs.

Maybe they will pay for a rental car for ~10 days, while the bike sits in the dealer's service dept.
