Love's Truck Stops Are Making The Pivot To Electric

Enjoy!

I also hope Sur Run succeeds in all their undertakings. But it seems that by choosing this path, they have put themselves into the Zero's category, not Alta's. Play riding instead of competing with and replacing gas bikes.

The battery pack is 4.3 kWh compared to the Alta's 5.8 kWh. Yet, they are claiming a 65-mile range, although only at 30 mph. The battery pack weighs 65 lbs, compared to the Alta's 73 lbs. It appears to be quickly swappable though, so maybe someone figures out a way to take a spare battery on a...

Storm Bee MX: 30 hp and 273 lbs. With a no-name 47mm suspension and no-name brakes it would likely take a lot of effort to make it rideable and jumpable on a MX track. I hope it is cheap.

Cool. So you have found that actuators on 3 our of 4 bed corners are enough? And do they synch with each other in any way? Or are you hoping they would all spin at about the same speed? Could you please post the pictures of these latches? I am in the process of designing my own bed latches...

Cool van! Thank you for the report! Could you please share/link which electrical linear actuators you used?

What did you buy and where?

Yamaha Europe is working on a full size e-MX bike!

I am an East coaster April through November and a West coaster December through March. I hope I could make one of these gatherings.

We have a "Hauling My Alta" sub-forum. Please create a new thread there. This current thread started as a bunch of funny pictures in "Pictures" sub-forum, but ended up containing interesting stuff. I have moved it into the appropriate "Hauling My Alta" sub-forum.

Will Yamaha kill KTM, or will KTM kill Yamaha? Experts share their opinions: The End of KTM

The End of KTM Enjoy!

When I was into cars, most of our national gatherings were in Indiana and Michigan. We tried to go as far west as St. Louis and Memphis, hoping to lure out the West coasters, but it seemed that to them anything farther than Vegas or Phoenix was too far away and required to take more than a whole...

I am definitely in for 2021. But have we written off 2020 already?

Ok, let me figure out some things to let @Butch edit this thread... I should be able to do it later today.

I totally agree. But the thing is, the main technological and performance hurdle has been the battery -- its piece cost, weight, capacity, and thermal management. Once OEMs think they could bring these items into acceptable ranges, and once they are convinced that John Public is willing to pay...
