Does it plug into the stock harness and is powered directly from the bike's battery?

Some shocking statistics here:

Perhaps this is why KTM does not sell the batteries for the Freeride but leases them. A lower sticker price and no worries about the battery life or warranty. They get their money from you over time.

Any news from Brisbane today?

Purchased batteries aside, the Redshift should cost much less to produce than the gas bikes. So, with proper manufacturing capabilities, and a high enough scale, it should be very competitive in the marketplace. Perhaps even cheaper than the gas bikes with all their pistons, cranks, pumps...

From my armchair viewpoint, now both of you guys will have to ride twice as fast to make it look fast again.

Found it: Holy 14T - Sweet Spot!

It is pinned up in the Riding Maps/Modes sub-forum. The forum also has two search functions, in case you need to find something else. That dyno thread does not have any information about the efficiency, but TCMB371 has nailed the answer. This info came from Judaslefourbe, I think, so straight...

In case Stefan Pierer is reading this, I am going to say that I would be pretty happy with KTM, if the white plastic is standard or available. So there.

Too much noise and electric hating there. Post a direct link if you want to share.

Colors do matter. Denying this is like saying that you have no preference in the colors of your cars or clothing. Most people have one or more favorite color, it's just the way it is. I used to have a strong preference for red and Honda bikes. I also liked the white/red Yamahas, and I liked the...

So, for all we know, Alta might be in a 3-way negotiation battle, pinning buyers against one another. Sounds fun. I am rooting for Marc!

An anonymous source on this forum texted me that he heard that BRP (Can-Am) was going to purchase Alta but the deal fell apart in the 11th hour.

I'd wait for Monday to know what's going on with Alta. Then either call the dealer or take it apart and see who makes that charger, if there is a name or part numbers inside.

It is good that it is not the bike. The message on the dash means that it is not getting a signal or current from the charger.

I hope they do keep the Alta brand. I only like orange in my food or drinks. I bought a Husky because it was not orange. Still hated the WP suspension, so the white color change did not make much of a difference after all... Thinking about it, I did not like the Alta's WP suspension either...

Looks like a direct drive motor with a tiny sprocket coaxial with the swing arm's pivot. Small wheels, a huge rear sprocket, and you can get away without a 3.5x reduction gear. The guy says it has 45kW (60hp) but the subtitles and the comments say 50kW. This is 67hp. Damn.

It must not have a gearbox.

They must have already bought an Alta EXR to benchmark against.

A company in Russia is developing an Alta competitor. The bike in the video is 45kW and 280 lbs -- very comparable to the MXR. No cooling (yet). It is a working prototype. It has a steel tube frame and a quick swappable battery. The range is similar to Alta's. The guy says it is faster than the...
