    Owner's Review My 2018 MXR was just delivered. First ride thoughts....

    My local Alta sales rep promised to send me a video of his buddy hopping a stock Alta onto a 6-foot step-up, just like in a trials competition. That was a long time ago, so we may never see this actual video, but do believe him that this indeed happened. How he did such a thing without a clutch...

    Strapless Hauling

    My Moto Cinch will be getting installed into my motovan soon, right after the new floor is done. The bike in the middle will be installed backward facing the rear doors for a more compact installation. I can't use a front wheel chock with it, so a Moto Cinch will be perfect!

    For Sale MX and EXR (not mine)

    The ad says he has a CA title and license plate. Ask him to send you a picture of the title if you are interested.

    AJ Catanzaro

    Tomac and Ferrandis abuse the bike's power, but AJ's heroes Roczen and the Lawrence brothers do not. I think AJ is quite light on the bike and easy on the throttle.

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    Now I have to ask! What did you figure is the continuous power capacity of the Alta MX/EX pack and the Alta MXR/EXR pack? All of the above. I have a habit of buying a second bike. The tracks usually have no fast/any charging infrastructure, so you have to bring a loud gas generator, a huge...

    For Sale MX and EXR (not mine)

    The bikes are getting cheaper. Maybe it is the end of the summer riding season? But the riding season in Arizona is just starting! https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2017-Alta+Motors-Redshift+MX-5018170479 https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2018-Alta-REDSHIFT+EXR-5018159581

    AJ Catanzaro

    Unlike most other racers in the industry, AJ is a huge fan of electric bikes. He also doesn't hesitate to say that in his videos. Maybe he is planning a hostile takeover of BRP, so that new Alta Redshifts are built and sold again! :cool:

    Okay, Marko. Give them a fake clutch lever that would kill the motor if pulled and loop out the bike if dropped! But I would rather have my LHRB there. It can also be used in whiskey throttle situations, although I have not used it this way yet.

    Flux Performance - eMX startup from Europe

    I am afraid that using the clutch is going to become a dying skill, like double-clutching and rev-matching in race cars. The same things are better and more consistently acheved with electronics, with no heavy flywheels or unreliable clutches. Perhaps, the throttle can be programmed to become...

    OK, the alternate URL is done! https://electricdirtriders.com I experienced some issues switching between AltaOwnersForum.com and ElectricDirtRiders.com on mobile, but my desktop browser works fine. Let me know if you notice any issues.

    Aaron Colton builds a EXR into a Supermoto

    Stunt riding a dirt bike in a museum of... glass, LOL! Their exhibition must not be very valuable. Red Bull often gets away with doing crazy and stupid stuff, LOL! https://www.motorbiscuit.com/unauthorized-red-bull-drifting-stunt-damages-unesco-world-heritage-site/...

    Very cool, Marko! Full power bike: -45kW (60hp) <-- Best 450's with the same horsepower do not stand a chance! Just make it sustainable power on straightaways, not burst power. -112kg (247 lbs) <-- Awesome! -6kWh, 400V battery (a little bigger and better than Alta) -liquid-cooled motor and...

    Code 33 multitool

    Google Translate (the app or the website) usually does a decent job translating. But if you are unsure about the quality of the translation, I would then recommend posting the same thing in both French and English. This way our French speakers would be able to help all of us understand you better.

    Code 33 multitool

    I think it is kind of cool to read in foreign languages about interesting subjects. I know some Portuguese and Italian, and so I was able to understand every word of French that you wrote. Fred's French is more difficult to read though.

    PSA: What to ask for when buying an Alta

    Read up on Code 36. It is not what you think it is. It is just a bad wirebond, which in the vast majority of the cases was bad from the factory.

    PSA: What to ask for when buying an Alta

    I have to say something. IMHO, this Code 36 issue is hugely overblown. it should not be neglected, and it should be fixed as soon as detected with a simple soldering iron and a piece of copper wire. Then there is a chance that none of the adjacent battery cells will need to be replaced. I...

    Half throttle mod'

    I had a half-throttle on my Stealth Bomber e-bike and I hated it. It made my right hand tired, and it created problems that I didn't have. I was planning to change it to a full throttle, but I sold the bike before I did. My current e-bicycle has a full-barrel twist throttle. I love it! Like on...
