    I think there will be some sort of release to dealers Tuesday. We owe it to them to inform them first. After that, the same info will go out to customers. I'm going to be here to take questions from everyone and try to provide support, The time to get support will be short. Stand by.

    BAD NEWS

It might take me longer, but the testing part should prevent redesign. I have been a racing crew chief and engineer for thirty...

    Broken display - solution?

    There is not. Displays are one of the items of which we had no inventory. So, even if Alta was still in business, you would have no parts. Engineering had spec'd a new display, but that was not delivered before the doors were closed.

    Broken display - solution?

    Possible sources for battery repair?

    Code 36 is not necessarily, and likely not, 'bad' cells. It's not a matter of replacing cells.

    Possible sources for battery repair?

    Please don't recommend that inexperienced people disassemble battery packs. It's very irresponsible., 350 volts can kill you. Lithium battery cells can also catch fire and burn down your house, and your neighbor's house. We take great care to completely discharge packs completely before the...

    POLL - Have you had problems that required support from Alta Motors?

    We've seen customers ride for several weeks with the code latched. I'm unsure what the result will be, whether the battery will retain any damage, or whether there are safety issues. For those of you continuing to ride with the code latched, please provide me with some feedback on any...

    BAD NEWS

    Before you guys become (more) disgruntled, please realize that there are legal issues that limit what can and can't be announced until there is a deal in place.
