You beat me to it! I was going to post the entire thing. Here it goes: ALTA MXR Electric Motocross Bike Kreft Moto staff recently spent three weeks testing a 2018 Alta MXR, the electric motocross bike built in California. You may have seen Josh Hill riding an Alta in the Red Bull Straight...

I experience the footpeg drag every time I try to lean the bike more than usual on my backyard figure 8 track. Most of the tracks that I ride at do not have very deep ruts, but I am sure the footpegs will start dragging in the very first deep rut. The Alta footpegs are lower than the footpegs...

Awesome! Next time hear a Garmin VIRB 360 camera. I want to see what a holeshot wheelie looks like, along with all the other bikes chasing you.

Nah. This van is FWD, very light in the rear, so if the surface is not flat, then the rear wheels can lift off the ground.

I've been known to state or ask the obvious, so I apologize in advance. How did you determine that the top speed was exactly the same?

Or like this? Decal Kits for the Alta

The rate of discharge of batteries is limited. You can safely discharge any generic Lithium battery at 1C (1 x Capacity) without them overheating and blowing up. So, generally, one could safely get 5.8 kW of power out of a 5.8 kWh battery. With 50hp (37.2 kW), Alta gets about 7C out of their...

Sling TV has a free trial for 7 days, in case someone wants to try it.

I just tried Sling TV. It was a torture. Maybe it's because it is a Saturday night. Interruptions in the video stream every few seconds. Sling must not be paying Comcast as much as Netflix and Google/YouTube does. The pricing is $35-40/mo, once you add the Bein Sports and DVR. Not cheap. I did...

I got to watch Endurocross Round 3! Ty looked very good, and looked more confident and more aggressive. A tidbit that was mentioned in the broadcast twice was that Team Alta has removed 10 lbs of batteries from the battery pack for Round 3. I wonder whether they can still get 50+ hp out of the...

Electro is talking about the Alta HQ and batteries.

LOL! Despite your non-expert questions, you still received some expert advice.

You are stealing your own thread. It is great that you are receiving replies, people are reading and are interested, but the four posts above are best suited for the Chargers and Generators sub-forum. What about your bike build?

According to Alta, the bikes already have these two safeguards in place in their firmware. You can safely charge to 100% and discharge to 0%, as indicated by the battery charge indicator. Also, at the end of the charging cycle, the bike will often sit, and the charger will run for a little...

Great! Thank you for sharing! On dirt you maximize the use of your rear brake. If something happens in front of you, you do not want to be squeezing the front brake, only the rear, if at all. You use the front brake either in ruts, or together with the rear brake when braking hard. When...

Alta Makes History with Podium Finish at Reno Endurocross Alta Motors made history on Saturday night, becoming the first electric-powered motorcycle to podium in an AMA Pro National race. Ty Tremaine piloted his Alta Redshift EXR to an astonishing third place at round three of the Endurocross...

Here is one more from Josh. The beginning is supercross on a YZ450F, but after that some play riding on an Alta.

Are you saying the new firmware now has the same dip in Map 4 at 50-55mph as it did in Maps 2 and 3? Alta Redshift MXR and MX on a Dyno - Riding Maps Demystified

Do you really like that fork that much? Hope you could figure out the bearings.

:D I am loving this advice.
