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

    Looks like the business situation is almost the same as with Honda and Mugen. The OEM supports a project that is run by a small independent company. If it succeeds and proves competitive, maybe they will then hire the folks who built it to build a real OEM electric dirt bike.

    KTM is changing its tune about electric bikes (and MXA is playing along)

    I hope it is fewer years than that. Ther SX-E 5 is a good bike for 8-10-year olds. Once they turn 13-15, they can already practice on full-sized bikes.

    KTM is changing its tune about electric bikes (and MXA is playing along)

    “We want kids to grow up with our electric bikes,” said KTM America President John Hinz during the KTM SX-E 5 intro. KTM and Husky plan to have a complete line of electric bikes for little Johnny to ride when he graduates from the SX-E 5 or Husky’s EE 5 version. KTM and Husqvarna owner Stefan...

    Alta - The name.

    Maybe it has something to do with Palo Alto, CA?

    How to build and connect a 220/240v to 110/120v adapter for your Alta Rapid Charger

    It should be about 2.67 times faster. You get twice the voltage and 16A instead of 12A.

    Peugeot Just bought Fiat

    OMG, WTF, SNAFU, FUBAR, LOL. Now I won't at all feel bad about parking my Tesla on our STELLANTIS employee parking lot.

    My Alta may have ruined ICE bikes for me

    After having bought the Alta, I sold all my recently purchased gas bikes. Then I bought a 2017 CRF450R because I liked the suspension that this bike once had. I didn't like the engine. Being unable to re-create the same suspension feel, I promptly sold it as well. I am not planning on buying...

    Question

    This sometimes happens to me too on loamy tracks and in my backyard. This is why I must wear a baseball hat for protection, else they could get into my hair!

    New from the Enchanted Mitten

    Thank you for the invitation, Alex! I would love to join you at your track sometime in August! Maybe I could bring my girlfriend and teach her how to enjoy dirt bikes properly. She is still afraid, LOL!

    Server issues

    Hey guys! The server has been down, again, for the last four days. The migration that I originally planned got really botched. I will have to do something less drastic in the future, as the current uptime and tech support are still unacceptable. Thank you for your patience as we are getting...

    Talk me into buying an Alta. Talk me out of buying an Alta.

    I wish the bike could wash itself. Then there would be no maintenance at all for me. Has anyone invented an automatic bike wash yet? Hmm... If it really works, it would become very popular at motocross tracks.

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    If you can recreate them in a CAD software, and also tweak them to be as narrow and close to the frame as possible, this will then be the shrouds that everyone will wan to upgrade to! Then we will find a way to produce them too, I am sure. :giggle:

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    Just stick a proper white vinyl over it, and you are done!!!

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    Another option is to use a thin and stretchy 3M vinyl that @OneLapper uses (I still can't find the picture of his bike here!). And then, on top of that, use a thick friction tape. I think I have seen it at Home Depot. It won't look as pretty as a custom graphics kit though.

    3D print shroud guards to fill in the ribs

    I tried contacting FAMMX with this request, but I haven't heard back. I have a spare front bulkhead I can mail to one of these shops if they want to make the template themselves. I have seen the YouTube video, but I thought I would rather leave it to the professionals to come up with the...
