That was one of my first questions. Apparently, Alta dealers already have the laptops to update the software. Marc, the Alta CEO, said they plan to let dealers adjust the maps to customers' liking. That was 1 year ago. It's time to ask again, I suppose.

Sand. And sand with rocks, when you are forced to run higher pressures in order not to dent the rims. Maybe big rocks too, on high-speed tracks/trails. But not the wet and slippery kind, there you need a soft sidewall again.

The track was hard pack but freshly groomed, so it was pretty soft. Not great for rolling resistance. Yes, about 40-45 minutes is what I expected at the racing pace. If I could stop and let myself and the battery cool down, maybe it would have been 50 minutes. I do not think 55 minutes is...

I was using Map 2. It is relaxing and has a high regenerative braking. Although at the track the regen braking does not make much of a difference, I just like how the bike decelerates more. EDIT: I ran it until the last bar on the battery status stopped blinking. You still get to limp a couple...

I see three possible upgrades: 1) Alta has made some prototype, which they aren't selling yet, but @Butch got his hands on one. I am not optimistic about it. It uses the Brembo clutch lever and is not plumbed into the rear master cylinder, so it eliminated the foot brake, until they figure out...

This is the cheapest Clake model (still expensive!), made as an upgrade over Rekluse and fits well with the KTM's Brembo clutch lever. It works well, better than the Rekluse. Perfect for trail riding and sand. But it needs more power for hardpack and clay.

Went to practice in the sand today. New track, not pushing hard. Stopped after 10 minutes, noticed some fluid on the lower frame members. Tastes either like coolant or like brake fluid, I cannot tell, not a drinker of this stuff. No LHRB fluid leaks. I wiped it off and went out again. Another...

Went to practice in the sand today. New Goldentyre Fatty in the front with Tube Saddle, at 6psi! The tire worked great. This is my new favorite sant and rock tire. It is sized at 90/100-21. Wider that average, with a larger OD, and with stiff sidewalls. This allows to run lower tire pressures...

Pitch in what your experience has been with map selection. Here are my notes: Map 1 -- Great for beginners, amazing for climbing slippery ands rocky hills, saving battery and extending range. Map 2 -- Trail riding. I like the extra regenerative engine braking in this map. Map 3 -- Great for...

I had a practice yesterday. I wanted to see how long the bike and myself would go on one charge. The bike lasted two warmup laps and 35 minutes of racing. A total of 40 minutes to drain the battery. Myself not as long. I was out of breath and had to slow down after 25 minutes. I had a heart...

My 1st race of the season is one week away. I just signed up for Round 3 of the WORCS racing series in Lake Havasu City, AZ: https://worcsracing.com/round-3-4-mc-crazy-horse-lake-havasu-az-march-23-25-2018 The race is 55 minutes long, and the battery will probably not last to the end. But I...

Welcome, Matt! We are gathering quite a group of engineers and other smart people here. I am stoked!

Welcome to the forum. Hope Christmas comes early to you this year!

I meant "use in anger", as in "use for real", it is just an expression. No, I wasn't angry. In fact, I was quite happy with all the available maps! Welcome to the forum, Chaconne!

SOLD! I thought I'd throw my current MX on here as well. The bike is a 2017 Redshift MX model. 33 hours (514 miles) as of 7/13/2018 Excellent track ready condition. Located in Ann Arbor, MI. Reduced $8,400 OBO (was $8,600; was $8,800) The bike has never been titled. I am the original owner...

Map 1 and 2 for trail riding. Map 1 is great for slippery uphills and "fuel" economy. Map 2 for everything else. At the MX track it is Map 3, most of the time. I tried Map 4 last weekend at the track in anger. It has its benefits too. The response is more immediate, the throttle becomes...

I can expand that by 1 acre, if the DNR doesn't mind me riding an electric on protected wetlands, LOL. I doubt though. I own them but I can't do anything there.

It took me longer than a couple of rides to realize that I can control the rear wheel slip way better than I could with a gas engine. Power sliding is a breeze, at any speed. Today I came across this Youtube video. A dude put an electric powertrain in a drift car. He is an engineer, but the...

UPDATE: The respring/revalve absolutely works for motocross. I have been fiddling with the forks' and shock's clickers and found a very nice combination. Works on this bike definitely better than the stock KYB SSS. If you own a Redshift with the 4CS suspension and want to try this revalve, here...

Last year I made myself a nice figure 8 or cloverleaf track in my tiny backyard. It is 1st gear only, but it is still a lot of fun and a good practice! I try to create and maintain decent ruts, so that I could practice them. That was last year, before I bough my Redshift. I was only able to...
